Latest Arsenal vs Bolton Wanderers squad information
Arsenal paid a heavy price for the hard-fought point against Man City, with David Raya, Calafiori and Jurrien Timber all suffering from cramp or minor injuries. Leandro Trossard was also sent off after being booked, meaning he will serve a one-match ban on Wednesday.
Arsenal's injury list now includes Mikel Merino (shoulder), Martin Odegaard (ankle), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf) and Kieran Tierney (hamstring). In addition, Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto is unavailable due to his previous appearance, leaving Arteta with a difficult task if Raya is unavailable.
Arsenal's starting options are limited at the moment, and Arteta could give Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly a chance, with Lewis-Skelly picking up a yellow card on his Premier League debut against Man City.
Bolton, meanwhile, enjoyed a pleasant afternoon against Reading without fresh injuries, although Osei-Tutu was ruled out with a knee injury. He was joined by Carlos Mendes Gomes (Achilles), Klaidi Lolos (ankle), Gethin Jones (knee) and Will Forrester (broken and dislocated toe). Notably, the visitors had just one player over the age of 30 in their squad—former midfielder Scott Arfield—who could be drafted into the starting line-up given his valuable experience.

Latest football commentary Arsenal vs Bolton Wanderers
Arsenal, who were criticised for their softness towards the end of Arsene Wenger's reign, have changed their tactics under Arteta, switching to a "dark art" of defending against Manchester City on Sunday. Despite dropping painful points when John Stones equalised in a 2-2 draw, Arsenal remain in pole position to challenge Pep Guardiola, just two points behind and maintaining their unbeaten run.
Next up, Arsenal will be in the EFL Cup, a competition they have only won twice in their history, and have not won at the Emirates Stadium in the competition since 2021. They have lost their last two games to Liverpool and Bolton, causing concern among fans.
By contrast, Bolton, who have never won the EFL Cup and are 66 years without a major trophy, have had their best run in the competition since 2017-18. However, they have not progressed beyond the third round of the EFL Cup since 2011-12, and inconsistency has characterised the current side.
Sitting 18th in League One and with just two wins from six games, Bolton will face Arsenal for the first time in 12 years. They have been in fine form recently, winning 5-2 at Reading, but have struggled defensively and could struggle against Arsenal. While Arteta may make changes to his team, a youthful Arsenal reserve side are expected to ease past Bolton and reach the fourth round.
