Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will again leave goalkeeper Manuel Almunia out of his starting line-up.

The Gunners former first choice shot-stopper has been relegated behind Italian rookie Vito Mannone since his chest infection and despite being back to full health has been overlooked yet again by Wenger.

Arsenal take on Liverpool in the Carling Cup fourth round at Emirates Stadium tonight and it looks as though Wenger may not even include Almunia in his squad at all, preferring Lukasz Fabianski.

"For sure. It is a delicate choice but I will make a decision I think is right," Wenger said.

"I kept Vito in because we won the games - it is as simple as that. But Fabianski is back. He gets a game as well."
