Despite a goal down, Wenger will rotate Arsenal team for Ipswich semi-final

Even though his team go into the Carling Cup semi-final second leg with a disadvantage, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is still likely to rotate his players for the match.

After seeing his weekend Gunners cruise past Wigan Athletic 3-0, the French tactician could easily go with the same starting eleven to take in Ipswich Town on Tuesday night.

Substitutes from the Wigan match including Nicklas Bendtner, Marouane Chamakh, Kieran Gibbs, Andrei Arshavin, Denilson and Emmanuel Eboue are all expected to start whilst Tomas Rosicky, Sebastien Squillaci and Abou Diaby will all miss with injury or illness.
