By being named in the team for tonight's Carabao Cup fourth round tie with Brighton, Max Dowman has broken an Arsenal record by becoming our youngest ever starter.

When he came on against Leeds United last month to make his professional bow, Max became the second-youngest player in Premier League history, as well as in our club's 138-year history, but by being named on the teamsheet against the Seagulls, he has become the youngest player to do so for our men's first-team.

Aged just 15 years and 302 days old, Max has broken the record set last season when Jack Porter was named between the posts against Bolton Wanderers at the same stage of the Carabao Cup. Jack was 16 years and 72 days old that night, meaning his England under-19 teammate Max has beaten him by 135 days.
