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

Karl Hein starts in goal for his debut in Arsenal’s Carabao Cup clash with Brighton, as Matt Turner misses out ahead of appearing for the United States at the World Cup.

Turner has been Arsenal’s ‘cup goalkeeper’ this season, but a groin injury has prevented him from playing since October 20.

The USA international has missed Arsenal’s last two Europa League games, and he has to settle for a place on the bench against Brighton tonight.

Cedric Soares makes his first start to the season, while Rob Holding and Kieran Tierney start too.

Takehiro Tomiyasu does not play after coming off injured against FC Zurich last week, but his injury is not thought to be that serious that it’ll keep him out of playing at the World Cup for Japan.

The Arsenal midfield completely changes from Sunday’s win over Chelsea as Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fabio Vieira and Mohamed Elneny all come in.

Eddie Nketiah leads the line and Reiss Nelson comes into the attack too, while 19-year-old Marquinhos gets a rare start.

Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Hein, Cedric, Saliba, Holding, Tierney; Elneny, Lokonga, Vieira; Marquinhos, Nketiah, Nelson

Subs: Turner, White, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka, Ødegaard, Martinelli, Jesus

Wednesday 7.45pm GMT

Venue: Emirates Stadium
