Arsene Wenger is set to again test the depth of his Arsenal squad in Wednesday night's Carling Cup quarter-final away to Manchester City.

Philippe Senderos and veteran Mikael Silvestre are likely to start in defence at Eastlands to provide some experience, while fit-again Lukasz Fabianski should return in goal.

Youngsters Carlos Vela, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Sanchez Watt, Fran Merida - who scored against Liverpool in the last round - plus Craig Eastmond and reserve captain Kyle Bartley are all in contention.

Gunners (from): Fabianski, Gilbert, Senderos, Silvestre, Coquelin, Eastmond, Ramsey, Merida, Wilshere, Watt, Vela, Szczesny, Randall, Frimpong, Bartley, Sunu, Cruise, Emmanuel-Thomas.
