Arsenal boss Wenger will play senior stars in Cup clash with Wigan

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will field a strong line-up for their Carling Cup quarterfinal with Wigan Athletic.

The Frenchman admits the League Cup is a priority as they seek to end their trophy drought this season.

Wenger said: "We will play with a strong team but don't forget we play every three days for 1½ months.

"So I have to look at how we recover and who I rest but we will play with a strong team. You will see regular players.

"What matters to me more than my reputation is Arsenal Football Club.

"I want people who love Arsenal to be happy. I want this team to win because I believe in this team and believe they're hungry to win. I just want to help them as much as I can. That's it.

"Of course I have my pride, I want to achieve as much as I can and give my best.

"I don't think I'll ever change on that front. The day I don't care any more, I'll stop."
