Latest Arsenal vs Bolton Wanderers squad information
Arsenal paid dearly for their 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 picking up a yellow card, 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 in a difficult position 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, had 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 only one player over 30 in their squad—former midfielder Scott Arfield—who could be drafted into the starting lineup given his valuable experience.
Latest expected lineup Arsenal vs Bolton Wanderers

Latest football commentary Arsenal vs Bolton Wanderers
Arsenal, once criticised for their softness in the latter stages of Arsene Wenger's reign, have changed tactics under Arteta, switching to a 'dark art' of defending against Manchester City on Sunday. Despite dropping a painful point when John Stones equalised in a 2-2 draw, Arsenal remain in contention with 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.
Bolton, by contrast, 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 instability 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, beating Reading 5-2, but have struggled defensively and could struggle against Arsenal. While Arteta may change his line-up, a youthful Arsenal reserve side are expected to ease past Bolton and reach the fourth round.
