Arsenal XI vs Leeds: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Carabao Cup today

Mikel Arteta has rung the changes for Arsenal’s Carabao Cup clash with Leeds tonight.

Left-back Kieran Tierney missed Friday’s win over Aston Villa with an ankle problem and is not risked against the Whites as Arsenal assess the issue.

Forwards Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also make way after having to come off with cramp on Friday.

It means the likes of Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli start, with Sead Kolasinac at left-back and Emile Smith Rowe keeping his place in midfield.

Midfielders Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Mohamed Elneny both feature, with Cedric Soares are at right-back.

Bernd Leno replaces Aaron Ramsdale in goal, as expected. Rob Holding also comes in at centre-back to partner Ben White.
