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.

Fabrizio Romano and The Mirror are reporting Arsenal is close to signing Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa.
Mikel Arteta, “We’re going to go and attack every trophy, that’s the ambition.”
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.
