Manager Arsène Wenger has said that the players who were not involved in the 2-1 win over Chelsea will be selected to take part in tomorrow's League Cup tie against Burnley.
That means that defender Mikael Silvestre and strikers Carlos Vela and Nicklas Bendtner could start.
Wenger confirmed that he would be looking to field a young side as in previous rounds of the competition, but due to injuries and availability the players involved may be younger than before.
Wenger said: "It will be the usual team for us, but then with all the players we have out it may be even younger than before.
"The players who were on the bench at Chelsea will be involved but those who started will not.
"That means Silvestre will play and so will Fabianski of course. We have some other first-team players [that] will play too – Vela and Bendtner.
"But we cannot play Djourou for example, he was injured at Chelsea. Gallas as well has a little calf problem. Kolo Touré and Emmanuel Eboue are not back so they will not be involved."

If we met Spusr again this year in the semi finals/final, at least Toure, Eboue, Silvestre, would play unlike last year.
