From the source

Isaan Khan of the Daily Mail reports that Arsenal youth quartet Ceadach O’Neill, Maalik Hashi, Andre Harriman-Annous, and Marcell Washington are all set to be in the first-team squad to face Fleetwood Town in the fourth round of the League Cup on Tuesday night.

Khan adds that Marli Salmon and Max Dowman will also be included, and the pair are likely to start the match. The report follows rumours on social media that O’Neill is set to start as well, though this remains unconfirmed at this stage.

Arsenal fans will already be well aware of young centre-back Salmon and midfielder/winger Dowman, and supporters who followed pre-season closely would also have had a look at 18-year-old forward O’Neill.
