Arsenal will also have the chance to deploy some youngsters against PSV. There are a few waiting in the ranks that have the potential to become valuable squad members.

Nathan Butler-Oyedeji should definitely be provided with some minutes after featuring in several matchday squads this season. He made his first team debut as a late substitute in a 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb in January but is yet to make another appearance. The young striker was not in the squad at Man United but will likely return to the fold on Wednesday.

Winger Ismeal Kabia may also be given an opportunity after appearing on the bench numerous times. UEFA B-list members Josh Nichols, Charles Sagoe Jr and Khayon Edwards are other names that could be on Arteta's mind ahead of the tie.
