Arsene Wenger has named his two summer signings in a 22-man Arsenal squad at Underhill tomorrow for the traditional pre-season friendly against Barnet ... Bees manager Mark Stimson trumps that by naming 11 newcomers in his 17-strong list.

Wenger could give debuts to his new boys, Marouane Chamakh, a 26-year-old Moroccan international striker who was born and bred in France and made 230 appearances for Bordeaux, and centre back Laurent Koscielny, signed from Lorient.

As forecast by www.barnetfc.com earlier this week the Gunners will have familiar names on parade at Underhill, including England international Theo Walcott, Russian Andrey Arshavin, Croatian Eduardo, Belgian Thomas Vermaelan, Kieran Gibbs, Sami Nasri and Jack Wilshire.

Stimson today announced the following squad numbers for tomorrow's game and the rest of the season:-
1 Jake Cole
2 Joe Devera
3 Jordan Parkes
4 Mark Hughes
5 Darren Dennehy
6 Anwar Uddin
7 Rossi Jarvis
8 Glen Southam

10 Glen Poole
11 Ricky Holmes
12 Charlie Stimson
13 Sam Cox
14 Danny Kelly
15 Reece Yorke
16 Mark Byrne
17 Danny Hart

21 Clovis Kamdjo.

Supporters will note that the No 9 shirt is still available after John O'Flynn did not respond to the offer of a new contract and went to Sweden this week with Bristol City on "an extended trial".

Three trialists could also feature against Arsenal: Jack Giddins (Leyton Orient), Billy Bricknell (Billericay) and John Megick (Barnet youth).

NOTE: Mauro Vilhete, who signed a two year contract in May at the age of 16 and then became Barnet's youngest ever player when he made his League debut, is still a scholar. He will get a squad number when called up for the first team.
