Ipswich Town and Arsenal can put Premier League pressures to one side with Gary O'Neil and Mikel Arteta summoning a glut of back-up stars to feature in this EFL Cup third-round tie.
Town boss O'Neil made nine changes for the home game against Leicester City in round two and was rewarded with a 3-1 victory.
He will again field a much-changed side, as will Gunners chief Arteta, who has a squad full of international stars champing at the bit to get some game time.

Ipswich Town v Arsenal Prediction
Best Bet: Eberechi Eze anytime goalscorer @ 5/2
Arsenal will rest a stack of their first-team stars this week, though a front three of Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze, with World Cup winner Mikel Merino tucked in behind, would scare many a defence.
And if that is Arteta's chosen front four it ought to worry a reshuffled Ipswich defence who faced 22 shots, nine on target, in their 3-1 win over League One Leicester in the last round.
If the Foxes can pile up openings then the Gunners certainly should with so many players wanting to revel in a rare opportunity to start.
Eze is very much the man for all competitions. The England star scored 12 goals for club and country last season in five different competitions, including one at Port Vale in the EFL Cup.
Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 cards @ 10/11
O'Neil is determined to see his Ipswich side get stuck into Arsenal, something he regrets they couldn't do when Liverpool visited in the league 10 days earlier, the Reds winning 2-0 after two goals in the first 10 minutes.
Expect a competitive, combative start therefore, so take over 3.5 cards.
Both teams come into this after card-feast weekends - there were five shown in Ipswich's 3-2 win at Crytal Palace and seven shown in Arsenal's 2-0 victory at Sunderland.
Ipswich Town v Arsenal Bet Builder Tip
Christian Walton over 3.5 saves
Arsenal to win in 90 minutes
Chuba Akpom 1+ shots on target
Pays 15/2
Christian Walton, Ipswich's EFL Cup keeper, was forced to make seven saves in the 3-1 win over Leicester in the previous round.
The League One side fired off 22 shots at Portman Road, finding holes galore in O'Neil's much-changed line-up.
O'Neil will make changes again - he has said as much - and that should mean Arsenal's strikers can keep Walton busy. Take him to make over 3.5 saves as the first leg of the Bet Builder.
Next add in the visitors to win in 90 minutes as leg two.
Clearly this is not going to be Arsenal's strongest side, but Arteta's squad is rich in talent and the club can win for the seventh time in seven this season.
Ipswich ought to be able to ruffle Arsenal's own rearranged backline from time to time, with ex-Gunner Chuba Akpom mustering at least one effort on target. He had two against Leicester.
