Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he will field a side tomorrow with a mix of youth and experience.
The Gunners take on West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns in the Capital One Cup and the manager has revealed that he will field a side that has a mixture of young-talent and experience.
For years, Wenger used this competition as an opportunity to field all youth players, but as their quest for a trophy continues, he has recently started to take the competition a lot more serious.
However, he has revealed today that his side will have a mix of players in.
“I will try to find a good balance between experience and youth,” Wenger told Arsenal Player. “At the back you will have players you know well. Up front, you have a bit more improvisation and young players.
“You will see Gnabry again – everybody knows him already. Maybe the return of Bendtner as well, who will get a chance. That’s the kind of team we will have.
“We want to win this competition as well. I try to find the right balance between giving a needed breather to some players like Wilshere and Ramsey, who have given a lot.
“[I] take the competition very seriously as well because it’s an opportunity to win a trophy. We don’t want to neglect that.
“Having said that, we play again on Saturday and we play again on Tuesday. We had to play the qualifier of the Champions League which were two tough games.”
