Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he could select his youngest ever team for their Carling Cup tie with Sheffield United.

"There is a possibility [it will be the youngest side ever]," said Wenger.

"In the first team there are many players around 20. In The Carling Cup we will keep a few in there but the side will be more between 16 and 19. At Arsenal you can say 20 and 21-year-olds are the experienced players.

"You are likely to see Gavin Hoyte, Abu Ogogu, Aaron Ramsey, Mark Randall, Jack Wilshere, Fran Merida and Carlos Vela. Maybe [Nicklas] Bendtner will play. [Alex] Song, [Johan] Djourou and Lukasz Fabianski will be the experienced players.

"But you will have players like Emmanuel Frimpong and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas so it will be a very young side."
