The Gunners come into this clash on the back of a grueling 2-2 draw at the hands of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City wherein they were down to 10-men in the second-half. The Gunners boss will likely be rotating his team for the upcoming clash.
As for Bolton, they just two wins in the League One this season and sit 18th in the standings.
Arsenal will be hosting Bolton in any competition for the first time since October 2011, winning that match 2-1 in a League Cup fourth round fixture.
Speaking ahead of the clash, Arteta stated that he will be using some of the fringe players.
He said: Yes for sure, we want to win this game.
"We have to start with the first game. We have to understand what is the best team, the strongest team that we can put out to perform in the way that we need to to be better than Bolton and beat them.
"It’s a great opportunity for any player to show what they are bringing in the games who haven’t had the ability to play much yet, to transform what they’re doing in training to give us the right reason and perform on the pitch."
