Wenger: Arsenal kids will get Cup and Champions League chances

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says his exciting youngsters will get their chance over the next week.

Wenger will field an inexperienced line-up for their Carling Cup quarterfinal against Manchester City - and intends to d the same for their Champions League dead rubber against Olympiacos.

"The Carling Cup is a competition that is not one of our priorities, but we go to Manchester City to win a game," Wenger told arsenal.com.

"We'll play our young players in the Carling Cup, and some of them will play in the Champions League [at Olympiacos next week] as well because we are already qualified.

"For us it is important to win in the Premier League [against Stoke] because we lost two games, and that of course is a massive disappointment. And two games for the first time we didn't score. We are used to scoring goal after goal, but at the moment we aren't scoring."
