Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos will make his comeback in the Carling Cup trip to West Brom, having been sidelined since June when he dislocated a shoulder in World Cup action for Switzerland.
Theo Walcott and Emmanuel Adebayor will also start as Gunners boss Arsene Wenger gives run-outs to fringe players and others recently returned from injury.
Manuel Almunia, Gael Clichy, Mathieu Flamini, Denilson, Alexandre Song and Jeremie Aliadiere are all set to feature.
