It has been a spectacular start to the season for Arsenal, which has won every match so far in the 2026-27 campaign be it Premier League play, the UEFA Champions League or even the Community Shield.
But being in so many competitions can be a blessing and a curse. Arsenal's Carabao Cup runs begin Tuesday, Sept. 15, with a visit to Ipswich Town, and Mikel Arteta may be considering big changes to his starting XI.
His options are limited, however, at the back, where right back Ben White has a groin issue and center backs Cristhian Mosquera and William Saliba continue to work through knocks.
Still, Arsenal is a deep team, and even their alternate lineups can strike fear in defenders, with players like Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze in the mix for minutes.
Here's how Arsenal could line up against Ipswich Town:
