Wed Oct 30 19:20:38 UTC 2024: ## Arsenal Field Debutant Goalkeeper Setford in Carabao Cup Clash Against Preston
**LONDON -** Arsenal will be looking to advance in the Carabao Cup tonight as they face Championship side Preston North End at Deepdale. The North London club will be fielding a youthful lineup, with 18-year-old goalkeeper **Tommy Setford** making his first-team debut.
Setford, who joined Arsenal from Ajax in the summer, was injured for the third-round victory over Bolton Wanderers. He becomes the 911th player to represent the Arsenal men’s first team.
The starting XI features several other notable names. **William Saliba** returns from suspension, while **Jurrien Timber**, who left the recent draw against Liverpool early, is deemed fit to start at right-back. **Oleksandr Zinchenko** completes the back four, with **Jorginho** captaining the side.
Upfront, **Gabriel Jesus** leads the line, flanked by **Raheem Sterling** and **Gabriel Martinelli**.
Preston, currently 16th in the Championship, have made six changes from their weekend draw against Plymouth. Notably, former Arsenal youth player **Sam Greenwood** will be starting against his former club.
This encounter promises to be an interesting clash between the two sides, particularly with Arsenal fielding several young players keen to prove themselves.
**The full lineups are as follows:**
**Arsenal:** Setford, Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Merino, Nwaneri, Sterling, Martinelli, Jesus.
**Preston:** Woodman, Whatmough, Lindsay, Hughes, Ledson, Greenwood, Thordarson, Okkels, Holmes, Kesler-Hayden, Bowler.
