Arsenal vs. Bolton: Can you name the Gunners' last XI against the Trotters?

Can you name the Arsenal starting XI the last time they faced Bolton?

Old foes will reunite at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening, as Arsenal and Bolton Wanderers battle for a place in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.

The Gunners, who have not won the competition since 1993, enter the third-round clash on the back of a thrilling 2-2 Premier League draw with Manchester City, where only a 98th-minute John Stones strike denied them victory.

Meanwhile, Bolton thumped Reading 5-2 in the weekend's League One affair, and the Trotters have already seen off Mansfield Town on penalties and Shrewsbury Town by two goals to nil in this year's EFL Cup.

Wednesday's showdown will mark the first meeting between Arsenal and Bolton since February 2012, where the Trotters held the Gunners to a goalless stalemate at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, formerly known as the Reebok Stadium during Bolton's Premier League prime.

Ahead of Wednesday's EFL Cup clash, Sports Mole challenges you to name the Arsenal starting XI and substitutes from that 0-0 draw 12 years ago.
