Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will rotate his squad for an upcoming Carabao Cup match against Ipswich Town, offering opportunities for players like Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres, and Eberechi Eze to impress. These players, who have seen limited action in recent Premier League matches due to competition from established stars, need strong performances to regain favor with Arteta. Specifically, Zubimendi aims to reclaim a regular spot in midfield, Gyokeres seeks to boost his goal-scoring record against lower-tier opposition, and Eze hopes to demonstrate his ability in central areas of the field.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.

Rotation is expected but Arsenal's strength in depth, particularly in midfield, means that this is a competition the club should be eyeing a deep run in even with a much-changed side.
asserted
club → expect → side
Arteta has largely stuck with the same lineup in the Premier League, making these cup matches even more important for those looking to force their way into his thinking.
asserted
matches → stick → thinking
Here are three players who need to take their chance against Ipswich...
Martin Zubimendi
asserted
Zubimendi → need → Ipswich
What a difference a year makes.
asserted
year → make → difference
At this stage last season, Zubimendi had not only started the first five matches but played the full 90 minutes in all of them.
asserted
Zubimendi → start → them
Zubimendi has found himself behind both Myles Lewis-Skelly and Bruno Guimaraes in the midfield pecking order.
asserted
Zubimendi → find → order
Last season, Zubimendi's form collapsed in the second half of the season as he grew exhausted after such a heavy workload.
asserted
he → collapse → workload
There should be no repeat of that this time but Zubimendi will want to push himself back into the Premier League picture, starting with a strong performance against Ipswich.
asserted
Zubimendi → want → Ipswich
He has not come off the bench at all in three of Arsenal's four league matches so far.
asserted
He → come → matches
In the other, the win over Chelsea, he was given just 12 minutes.
asserted
he → give → minutes
He looks low on confidence and Kai Havertz's form has put further focus on the struggles Gyokeres has in getting involved with Arsenal's build-up.
asserted
Gyokeres → look → up
With Arsenal hoping to go deep in all four competitions, and Havertz having a history of injury issues in recent seasons, Gyokeres should still get plenty of game time over the course of the season.
asserted
Gyokeres → hop → season

When it comes, Arsenal need more from him.
asserted
Arsenal → read → him
His lack of involvement in general play can be forgiven if he is finding space in the box and scoring goals.
asserted
he → forgive → goals
In the league last season, 11 of Gyokeres' 14 goals came against clubs in the bottom half.
asserted
11 → come → half
Ipswich, then, are the kind of side that he should relish playing.
asserted
he → relish → that
This Carabao Cup trip also feels like a particularly significant night for Eberechi Eze.
asserted
trip → feel → Eze
His appearances have instead come on the left wing, though those too have been limited with Christos Tzolis currently first-choice.
asserted
Tzolis → come → wing
He had no real impact when starting against Napoli and his other cameos have been low-key as well.
asserted
cameos → have → Napoli
When Tzolis has been at his best, he has drifted in off the left wing and combined with Odegaard in central areas.
asserted
he → drift → areas
That is a role that should suit Eze, playing primarily off the left but with the freedom to come inside.
asserted
that → suit → freedom
However, there has been little sign of him hitting top form yet this season.
asserted
him → hit → form
That needs to change if he is to become more than just a rotation option.
asserted
he → need → option
