Round Three of the Carabao Cup comes to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, as Arsenal hosts AFC Wimbledon. The crosstown club is currently 7th in League One.
Mikel Arteta has a huge North London Derby on Sunday, so I am expecting he will rest many of his primary players, and field a second unit squad for this cup game.
With that said, here’s my predicted starting XI v AFC Wimbledon…
[4-3-3]
Martinelli, Falogun, Nketiah
Lokonga, Maitland-Niles, Odegaard
Tavares, Mari, Chambers, Cedric
Leno
Final score: ARSENAL 4 – AFC Wimbledon 1
Also, it also appears that Arsenal youngster Charlie Patino could make hist first team debut as well on Wednesday.
COYG!

If patino is going to be given a chance then it’s best to have him in starting lineup so he can better prepare and drill with others in starting 11. Hope he has fun.
