Arsenal prepare to face Ipswich in the League Cup Round of 32 on Tuesday evening at Portman Road, seeking a sixth consecutive win across all competitions. The Gunners come into the match on a five-game winning streak, having defeated Sunderland 2-0 in their most recent Premier League outing on September 12.
Bukayo Saka has been in fine form, scoring three goals in four appearances this season, including the late penalty that secured victory against Sunderland. Arsenal sit atop the Premier League table with 12 points from four games, having conceded just once while scoring eight.
Manager Mikel Arteta will be without defenders Ben White and William Saliba due to injury, with White expected back on September 30 and Saliba returning later in October. The starting XI that beat Sunderland featured David Raya in goal, a back four of White, Konsa, Gabriel and Calafiori, with Rice and Lewis-Skelly in midfield.
Arsenal have scored in each of their last five matches, keeping clean sheets in three of them, and will look to maintain their defensive solidity against an Ipswich side aiming to cause an upset. The club confirmed the team news ahead of the fixture through official channels.
