[Teams] Blackpool vs Arsenal: Confirmed Line-Ups From Bloomfield Road

Arsenal will be looking to avoid an upset when we take on Blackpool at Bloomfield Road in the 3rd round of the FA Cup this evening [5.30pm KO]. 

As expected, Unai Emery has rotated his squad with the likes of Bernd Leno, Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick rested. Petr Cech comes in between the sticks with Stephan Lichtsteiner joining Sokratis, Laurent Koscielny and Sead Kolasinac in defence.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles also starts along with Joe Willock, Mohamed Elneny and Alex Iwobi while Aaron Ramsey gets a well-earned recall. Eddie Nketiah starts up front with Alexandre Lacazette among the substitutes.

Youngster Buyako Saka is also on the bench along with Carl Jenkinson, Zech Medley and Lucas Torreira.

Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Blackpool

Howard, Nottingham, Daniels, O’Connor, Bola, Spearing, Guy, Taylor, Feeney, Delfouneso, Gnanduillet.

Subs: Mafoumbi, Anderton, Bunney, Mclaughlin, Pritchard, O’Sullivan, Davies
