Teenage prodigy Max Dowman became Arsenal's youngest-ever starter after being named in the club's lineup for Wednesday's Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Brighton.

Dowman, 15 years and 308 days, beat the record set by Youssoufa Moukoko, 16 years and 18 days, in December 2020

Because of his age, Dowman has to get changed in a separate room to his team-mates before training sessions and on matchdays, but is able to go into the changing room when team-talks are done by Arteta and the coaching staff. The players have separate rooms in hotels on away days, so travelling is not an issue.
