New Arsenal centre-back Sebastien Squillaci will make his first appearance for his new club as the Gunners reserves take on Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday evening.

The 30-year-old Frenchman is set to make his debut in an Arsenal shirt since arriving from Sevilla in the summer transfer window and is set to appear alongside Lukasz Fabianski, Johan Djourou and Denilson in the second string at Barnet's Underhill Stadium.

The former Lyon and Monaco player will have to battle with Thomas Vermaelen, Laurent Koscielny and Johan Djourou for a place in the centre of Arsenal's defence this season for a position where manager Arsene Wenger has also utilised midfielder Alex Song.

Arsenal's next Premier League fixture is at the Emirates against Bolton Wanderers.
