Arsenal XI vs West Brom: Lineup and confirmed team news - Ramsdale and Odegaard start Carabao Cup tie

New signings Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale both start for Arsenal against West Brom in the Carabao Cup second round tonight.

England goalkeeper Ramsdale joined the Gunners from Sheffield United last week as part of a deal that could eventually be worth £30million.

Bernd Leno started in goal against Chelsea on Sunday, but Ramsdale comes in for the second-round trip to The Hawthorns.

Odegaard also starts after getting visa clearance following his £30m move from Real Madrid last week, while club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leads the line after recovering from Covid-19.

Arsenal are without Ben White (Covid-19), Eddie Nketiah (ankle) and Thomas Partey (ankle), but Alexandre Lacazette makes the bench after recovering from Covid-19.

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Tavares, Chambers, Holding, Kolasinac, Elneny, Xhaka, Odegaard, Pepe, Saka, Aubameyang

Subs: Leno, Mari, Maitland-Niles, Sambi, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Lacazette

Tonight 8.00pm BST, Sky Sports

Venue: The Hawthorns
