Ahead of our game against Bodo/Glimt this evening, Mikel Arteta once again included some members of our academy on the bench.
Here are the three youngsters who could make their first-team bow in Bodo:
Matt Smith
Matt Smith is no stranger to Mikel Arteta's side and also travelled to Norway with the squad. Smith, 22, has been a regular in first-team training this season and is now striving for competitive playing time.
A technically gifted central midfielder with an impressive passing range, the 21-year-old was named on our first-team bench six times towards the end of the 2019/20 campaign, including in the 2020 FA Cup final victory against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium.
