Arsenal has appealed the red card given to Max Dowman in their Carabao Cup match against Fleetwood Town, according to Pain in the Arsenal. The appeal is related to a contentious incident where Dowman was dismissed by referee Michael Salisbury for making contact with Harrison Neal. Arsenal hopes to hear the outcome soon, citing the lack of VAR in the match as a factor in their favor.

If Arsenal's appeal is unsuccessful, Dowman will be suspended for three Premier League matches, starting with the game against Liverpool at Anfield on November 1. The subsequent matches he will miss are against Hull City at the Emirates Stadium on November 7 and Newcastle United at St James' Park on November 21, as reported by Pain in the Arsenal. Dowman's suspension will not affect Champions League matches.

Mikel Arteta is expected to be impacted significantly if Dowman's appeal fails, as Arsenal will be without Bukayo Saka for around two months due to a quad injury. Noni Madueke is forecast to return by the weekend, and Eberechi Eze is set to start against Liverpool, according to Pain in the Arsenal. Christos Tzolis is still not back, and while Ceadach O'Neill made his senior debut, he may be on the bench at Anfield if Dowman is suspended.
