Arsenal head coach Unai Emery has hinted that he may include a few youngsters in the team to face Spurs in the Carabao Cup quarter-final, The Guardian reports.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men come to the Emirates looking for revenge following our convincing win over them in the league earlier this month.

As we aim to reach the semi-finals for the second time in as many years, it will be interesting to see how many starlets Emery includes in the squad.

We are currently suffering a mini-crisis at the back, with the likes of Hector Bellerin, Shkodran Mustafi and Sead Kolasinac doubtful for the tie while Rob Holding is out for the rest of the season.

Emery admitted that he was taking this tie seriously given the opposition, but didn’t rule out a few changes to give some youngsters a chance.

“I think is a very good match for the supporters, a very big match for the players and a very big match for us, the coaches,” Emery was quoted as saying.

“We can use some young players, because we think with a big performance, they can help us win.”

Bukayo Saka has been training with the first-team for a few weeks now and was handed his debut in our final Europa League clash against Qarabag.

Emery also handed debuts to Zech Medley and Charlie Gilmour in our trip to Vorskla last month, and it will be interesting to see if they make the squad again.
