Chelsea No2 Wilkins slams Wenger over Arsenal Cup kids

Chelsea assistant boss Ray Wilkins has blasted Arsene Wenger for playing his Arsenal kids in the Carling Cup.

He also taunted Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger by claiming the kids experiment has left his club trophyless.

Chelsea will field a senior side against Burnley tonight and Wilkins said: "It's all about winning trophies when you're a big club.

"The fact we've won the Carling Cup twice in the last four years and Arsenal have won none justifies our policy,

"You enter a competition to win the competition. Why go into it if you're not concerned whether you win it?

"Playing a young or weakened team undermines the value of the competition.

"And we have not and will not do that. We want to win it, big time."
