Manager Andries Jonker has selected goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, defenders Tolaji Bola, Joseph Olowu and Tobi Omole, midfielder Xavier Amaechi while Aaron Eyoma is listed as a forward.
Aaron Eyoma, 18, has represented the Gunners U19 squad in the UEFA Youth League before, during the 2014-2015 season, and scored against Galatasaray in the group stage.
