Petr Cech will start in goal for Arsenal in their Carabao Cup fourth-round tie at home to Blackpool, manager Unai Emery confirmed. The 36-year-old began the season as first choice at the Emirates before picking up an injury in the win over Watford last month. He was replaced in that game by summer signing Bernd Leno, who many had expected to see installed as number one as soon as he arrived from Bayer Leverkusen. Leno has since impressed and kept his place between the posts in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace, a result which ended an 11-match winning run for the Gunners.<doc-sep>The video will auto-play soon 8 Cancel How can Arteta strengthen this summer?

The Gunners' remarkable 11-game streak was recently brought to an end by a spirited Crystal Palace team at the weekend, who managed to salvage a draw in dramatic circumstances, winning a penalty late in the day. Blackpool, meanwhile, are down in 12th in League One and a victory over Arsenal could have their fans dreaming of the possibility of emulating Bradford City's 2013 run to the final. But, with it being Emery's first season in charge at Arsenal, he will be desperate to win a trophy, and the Carabao Cup offers the perfect opportunity. The game is hosted at the Emirates so Arsenal will be favourites, but you can never rule out a cup upset. Here's all you need to know about Wednesday's game... (Image: Michael Zemanek/BPI/REX/Shutterstock) When is the game? Arsenal and Blackpool face off in the evening of Wednesday October 31. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:45pm. Where is the game being played? The game will be played at Arsenal's home ground, the Emirates Stadium. The Emirates is the third biggest ground in England after Old Trafford and Wembley, and has a capacity of 59,867 seats. (Image: Press Association Images) Is the game on TV? The game will not be televised live in the UK. However, you can follow the game live with Mirror Football's live blog. Is there a live stream? Unfortunately, no TV coverage means that there will be no way of being able to catch the action live in the UK. Team news Hector Bellerin hobbled off during Sunday's draw with Palace, with Emery describing his problem as "muscular pains" and it is unlikely he will start against Blackpool, particularly with a big game against Liverpool looming. Nacho Monreal, Sead Kolasinac and Konstantinos Mavropanos are struggling with injuries, whilst club captain Laurent Koscielny has returned to training after his Achilles problem but is unlikely to be rushed back. Latest betting odds Arsenal 1/12 Draw 9/1 Blackpool 22/1 Odds courtesy of Paddy Power What has been said Following their derby defeat to Fleetwood Town, losing 3-2, Blackpool manager Terry McPhillips said: "We’ll dust ourselves down and go again for what is a good occasion on Wednesday. We’ll have a right good go. We’ve got nothing to lose. "It’s football. We’ll try to win every game if we can, but if we can’t we’ll try to draw them. "We haven’t managed to do either of those (against Fleetwood) but we’ve got a good tie against Arsenal. "We’ll get over this game and look forward to that one, and then it’s back to the league next Saturday against Bristol Rovers."<doc-sep>Arsenal have a huge match this weekend against Liverpool that will serve as a measuring post for how much the team has progressed under Unai Emery. Before that, however, Blackpool travel to the Emirates in the 4th round of the Carabao Cup. The Seasiders saw off Championship side Queens Park Rangers in the 3rd round and currently sit 12th in EFL League One. That’s a full 56 places behind the Gunners. Thus far in the cup competitions, Unai Emery has not rotated his squad much. Yes, he has started the subs and sprinkled in a few younger players, but the defense has basically been first-choice players, and he has used two or three first choice attackers each game as well. A midweek game against a League One opponent before a massive Premier League match at the weekend screams for significant rotation. I’m talking play the guys who don’t make the 18-man roster and call up the U-23’s. Given the current injury crisis, Arsenal cannot afford to lose any more guys, especially in defense. Hector Bellerin, Nacho Monreal, Sead Kolasinac, Dinos Mavropanos, and Laurent Koscielny are all unavailable. Sokratis recently came off an injury. Ainsley Maitland-Niles played for the U-23’s on Friday night but was reportedly rusty. And just for good measure, Mohamed Elneny, who can deputize in defense, is also out. Were I setting the lineup, it would look something like: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Holding, U23 centerback, Jenkinson, Ramsey, Guendouzi, Welbeck, Mkhitaryan, Willock, Smith Rowe. I suspect, however, that Unai Emery will use more first team players and the actual starting lineup will be: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Mustafi, Jenkinson, Ramsey, Guendouzi, Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck, Smith Rowe.

Sebastian Frej/MB Media/Getty Images Arsenal welcome League One outfit Blackpool to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday and are hoping to avoid any scares against third-tier opposition in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. The Premier League giants are unbeaten in 12 but saw their winning run come to an end in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace, but manager Unai Emery will hope to use Halloween as a springboard to get back in the green. Blackpool were 2-0 victors against Championship side Queens Park Rangers to progress from the third round, but the step up to beating Emery's flyers—fourth in the Premier League—is a much greater task. Two-time champions Arsenal last won the League Cup in 1993 but made it to last season's final, an achievement they'll look to replicate under a new manager and with fresh faces in the squad. Date: Wednesday, October 31 Videos you might like Time: 7:45 p.m. GMT/3:45 p.m. ET Venue: Emirates Stadium, London Live Stream: Arsenal Player, ESPN+ (U.S.) TV Info: ESPN 2 (U.S.) Odds Arsenal: 1-9 Draw: 8-1 Blackpool: 20-1 Via Oddschecker.com Preview It's unsurprising to see Arsenal line up for Wednesday's clash as such hefty 1-9 favourites, considering there are currently 56 places between them and Blackpool—sat 12th in League One—in the English leagues. Two penalties from Luka Milivojevic denied the north Londoners three points at Selhurst Park on Sunday, although Squawka showed that was an irregular lapse for the visitors based on their recent form: Nevertheless, the debate now turns to how Emery's men cope with their self-imposed disappointment, which isn't all that bad, considering they're still only four points off Premier League leaders Manchester City. Arsenal's attack has been one of the most effective in England this season, with 24 goals in 10 league games—second only to defending champions City. However, they face a defence that has shown the potential to be steadfast this season, even if it did surrender 3-2 at Fleetwood Town on Saturday, per Sky Sports Statto: Emery has not placed as much emphasis on defence despite adding the likes of Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Stephan Lichtsteiner to his ranks in the summer, as well as midfielders Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi. The lack of composure inside the area was evident against the Eagles when conceding penalties either side of Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goals for the Gunners. However, Emery showed on the touchline after Milivojevic's second spot-kick how he differs in management style to predecessor Arsene Wenger, per journalist James Olley: It's that kind of impassioned approach many at Arsenal may well have been longing for, and the former Sevilla coach's method at least appears to be working for now. We should see a weakened Arsenal lineup against Blackpool as they keep one eye on Saturday's home league fixture against Liverpool, as Emery balances his Carabao Cup priorities.
