What happened. Arsenal beat Ipswich Town 4-2 in the Carabao Cup third round, with Martin Zubimendi playing at right-back and impressing. The result gives Mikel Arteta plenty to consider ahead of the Premier League trip to Brighton.

• Zubimendi has struggled for minutes this season but excelled in the new role.
• Myles Lewis-Skelly's full-time behaviour forced an intervention from Arteta.

Arsenal travel to Brighton on Saturday as the Premier League resumes, with Arteta facing selection decisions.
