According to Evening Standard, Arsenal FC will rotate their squad in the League Cup, with Sübimento and two other players vying for chances.

Arsenal FC are expected to make significant changes, but the squad has adequate depth, particularly in midfield. So despite major alterations to the starting XI, this competition remains one the club hopes to progress far in.

Arteta largely sticks with the same core group in the Premier League, which makes these cup competitions even more important for players hoping to earn opportunities.

Here are three players who must seize their chance against Ipswich:

Martín Sübimiento has not started a single game this season, with all five of his appearances coming from the bench—three of those in the final 10 minutes.

By contrast, at this stage last season, Sübimiento not only started in the first five games but played the full 90 minutes in each.

He scored twice in the win against Nottingham Forest and quickly established himself as a key starter alongside Rice.

But things are different now. Sübimiento has fallen behind Scalley and Gumares in the midfield pecking order.

However, this is good for Arsenal FC. Last season, Sübimiento's form visibly dipped in the second half due to excessive workload, which ultimately led to fatigue.

That should not happen again, but Sübimiento will hope to return to the Premier League starting XI, beginning with a strong display against Ipswich.

Jørério's form has slipped even further.

He has not even been on the bench in three of Arsenal FC's four league games this season. In the other game—the Chelsea win—he played just 12 minutes.

Jørério started against Napoli in the Champions League, touching the ball just 9 times in 73 minutes. Arsenal FC had 26 shot attempts that game, and Jørério registered zero chances.

He appears to lack confidence, and Havertz's form only highlights Jørério's struggle to contribute to Arsenal FC's overall attacking play.

Arsenal FC hope to go far in all four competitions, and Havertz has an injury history over recent seasons, so Jørério should still receive plenty of opportunities throughout the campaign.

When those chances come, Arsenal FC will need more from him. If he can find space in the penalty area and finish, his limited involvement in the team's overall attacking play can be forgiven.

Last season, 11 of Jørério's 14 league goals came against bottom-half teams. The other three came at home against Sunderland and Bournemouth respectively.

So Ipswich is an opponent he should relish facing.

This League Cup trip also feels crucial for Nwaneri.

Ødegaard has returned to form, and Merino is in favor currently, making Nwaneri's path to midfield minutes increasingly congested.

His appearances tend to come on the left wing, but opportunities remain limited as Trossard is currently the first choice on the left.

Nwaneri played energetically after coming off the bench against Aston Villa and was involved in Arsenal FC's winning goal that night.

Yet he has made a disappointing start to the season. He made little real impact starting against Napoli, and his other substitute appearances have been quiet.

When Trossard is in his best form, he cuts in from the left to link with Ødegaard centrally. Three of his four assists have come from the Arsenal FC captain.

This role should suit Nwaneri well: emphasis on play from the left wing but with freedom to cut inside.

However, there are few signs he will recapture his best form this season. If he is to be more than a rotation option, that needs to change.
