Taking on the young Gunners at Stadium MK in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy, Lindsey said he is eager to give minutes to those who have not featured much of late, or at all in his opening three games in charge.
Striker Scott Hogan could feature after signing as a free agent on Friday, while defender Sam Sherring is understood to be close to making his comeback after missing the last six weeks through injury.
It is also a chance for Lindsey to give minutes to the youngsters in the fold.
“It gives me the opportunity to run my eyes over players I've not seen yet - that's important for me and them,” said Lindsey. “There are players coming back from injury as well, so we've earmarked them for minutes as well.
“We've got a big squad, but we want to include some of the younger boys from the academy as well. I like to make sure we've got young players in the first-team because it's good for their development. These games are the ideal opportunity for that to happen.”
