Return of the kids

1 Dec 2008


Arsene Wenger will again give his young Gunners the chance to impress in tomorrow night's Carling Cup quarter-final at Championship side Burnley.

Wales teenager Aaron Ramsey, 16-year-old Jack Wilshere and striker Jay Simpson, who netted a brace in the last round against Wigan, will all be in contention.

Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will skipper the side and Mexican striker Carlos Vela will provide some first-team experience.

Summer signing Amaury Bischoff, whose career has been blighted by injury, is also in contention after his return to match fitness.
