Eddie Nketiah could get another opportunity to impress on Saturday after sending Arsenal into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, manager Arsene Wenger has hinted.
The 18-year-old forward climbed off the bench against Norwich and scored twice to ensure the Gunners reached the last eight of the competition.
And after Nketiah's impact at the Emirates on Tuesday night, Wenger appears to be toying with the idea of involving him against Swansea this weekend.

Asked whether Nketiah could be included for the Premier League clash, the Frenchman replied: 'He will continue to get a chance.
'The biggest problem in the Premier League is for the first time since I'm in England we have a consistent level of results in the youth teams.
'That means the quality is there and the next step is to integrate them in the league.'
Wenger also provided positive updates on Calum Chambers and David Ospina, who have been out with hip and groin injuries respectively.
'Everybody who played on Tuesday night is available,' Wenger added.
'Calum Chambers is back in full training on Monday and [David] Ospina has a chance to be fit for Red Star Belgrade.'

Danny Welbeck and Santi Cazorla remain injured, but defender Shkodran Mustafi could return to the squad after being left out against Everton last weekend.
'[Shkodran] Mustafi was available against Everton and is available,' said Wenger. 'Decisions will be made on the rest.'
After Saturday's home game against Paul Clement's men, Arsenal host Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League on Thursday before a trip to face league leaders Manchester City on Sunday, November 5.
