Ahead of Arsenal vs Brighton in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, Ladbrokes looks at the odds for the game, sharing its betting tips and predictions in the process.

Arsenal have been fantastic this season, conceding just three goals across all competitions. The Gunners will be hoping to continue their good form with a win at home against Brighton.

Brighton could sense an opportunity here though, with Arsenal expected to rotate their team and give some of their starters rest. Could a Europe-less Brighton go full strength and shock Mikel Arteta's men?

Unfortunately for the Seagulls, we can't see them getting a result away at Arsenal on October 29.

Arsenal may well rotate, but one of the strong points of Arteta's side this season is their strength in depth, as evidenced when Cristhian Mosquera slotted in for William Saliba in the second-half against Crystal Palace at the weekend, and didn't look out of place.

If Bukayo Saka doesn't play, Arsenal have young talent Ethan Nwaneri to rely on (more on him later). If Arteta opts not to play Leandro Trossard against his former club, expect established winger Gabriel Martinelli to come in.

The point here is, even if Arsenal don't play their first-string side, their rotated XI should have enough to get past Brighton.

While very few Arsenal players have anything to complain about, perhaps one who does is Nwaneri.

The young talent would have been hoping to play more this season after signing a new deal in the summer, especially given that Martin Odegaard has spent most of the campaign out injured.

However, new signing Ebere Eze has been preferred in most games, with Mikel Merino even being picked in others. The truth is, Nwaneri will have hoped to have played more than he has.

Now is the chance for the player though. With Bukayo Saka likely to be rested and Noni Madueke out injured, expect Nwaneri to play off the right, where Ladbrokes' team of experts is tipping him to take the opportunity with both hands and find the back of the net.

Arsenal have conceded three goals in all competitions so far this season, an amazing feat considering 14 games have been played across the Premier League, Carabao Cup and Champions League.

We expect Arsenal to again be part of a low-scoring game here, potentially even keeping a clean sheet in the process.

We won't tip Arsenal to win to nil though, given that they may rotate their defence, but we'd still be pretty surprised if more than two goals were scored at the Emirates.

As noted, while Arsenal may rotate, Brighton could use the fact they aren't in Europe this season to have a real crack at winning the Carabao Cup, or at least progressing to the latter stages.

Therefore, don't be surprised to see Brighton play a relatively strong XI, which is why we're tipping Rutter to have a shot on target against the Gunners on Wednesday evening.

The ex-Leeds man is an exciting talent who could look to threaten the likes of Piero Hincapie and Mosquera, the both of whom are expected to line-up as Arsenal's starting centre-backs on the night. He may not score, but tipping Rutter to at least test Kepa could be worth a punt here.
