Arsenal boss Arteta not planning rotation for Olympiacos clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is not planning to rest any of his players this week.

The Gunners are ahead 3-1 against Olympiacos heading into their Europa League last-16 second leg on Thursday.

The game comes just a few days before an FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham, but Arteta doesn't plan on resting players.

There is still a lot to play for against Olympiakos, the belief they have will make it tough for us," said Arteta.

"It's true that we have some players with some significant workloads but our priority is to win the next two games.

"If anything, national teams will have to adapt to what we want - we will not do the opposite way around.

"We are the ones who have to look after our players and who pay the players so if anyone has to adapt, it's the national teams - not us."
