There have been no surprise omissions, although fans have been left stunned by the inclusion of rookie goalkeeper James Hillson. The 22-year-old has been promoted to the senior squad following a string of impressive displays for the Under 21s last season. The Emirates faithful were stunned to see Hillson's name in the squad list, with one tweeting: " " Another said: "Who is James Hillson? " And another said: "Who's James Hilson?" One remarked: "Who the hell is James Hillson?" Another chimed in: "Hopefully he is another breakout star." Hillson will be hoping to get some game time in cup matches along with new signing Raya, who has been brought in to keep current No.1 Aaron Ramsdale on his toes. He's also been included in the Gunners' 25-man Champions League squad - which was announced on Tuesday.
