HIGHLIGHTS 

Arsenal is gearing up to host Bolton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium in the third round of the EFL Cup. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last 12 matches and have lost just one of their last 14 games at the Emirates. They’re looking to bounce back from their thrilling 2-2 draw against Manchester City.

Bolton, on the other hand, has been inconsistent this season, lying in 18th place in the League One table with just two wins from six. However, they’ve already achieved their best result in the EFL Cup since the 2017-18 season, edging out Mansfield Town on penalties and then beating Shrewsbury Town 2-0.

Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, is expected to rotate his squad, giving some of his younger players a chance to shine. Despite this, the Gunners are still favored to win, with a predicted scoreline of 2-0 or 4-1.
