Arsenal desperately need a result as they visit West Brom in the second round League Cup tonight.
The Gunners had a disappointing start to the new season: Mikel ArtetaThe team has been hit by the Covid-19 outbreak and a series of injuries, and the losses to Brentford and Chelsea have made them meaningless in the Premier League so far.
After the Chiefs fans booed the players during the half-time and full-time against Chelsea, the Gunners needed to reverse their mood, and a cup draw with a lower-level league opponent sounded like the ideal match to win a game.
The problem for Arteta is that Arsenal will go to West Brom in good form, which is second in the championship and will look at their chances against the weakened Gunners.
Aaron Ramsdale made his Arsenal debut because Martin Odegard also followed his permanent contract with Real Madrid. Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also started, Nuno Tavares played alongside Kalum Chambers, Mohamed Ernene and Sid Kolasinac .
Kick-off at 8 p.m. British Summer Time, follow Simon Collings’s live broadcast at The Hawthorns!
