Wenger to continue with youngsters in Carling Cup
'We'll stick to our policy against Man City'
By Nick Teale
Arsène Wenger says he will be "faithful to his policy" in the Carling Cup Quarter-Final clash with Manchester City even though Mark Hughes says he'll put out a full-strength side.
After beating West Brom and Liverpool in the previous rounds, the Gunners will travel to Manchester on December 2.
Wenger has employed a policy of giving Arsenal's youngsters a chance to shine in the Carling Cup over recent seasons and confirmed that isn't set to change regardless of the team fielded by City.
"[It will be] Interesting, exciting and a good test," he told Arsenal TV Online.
"We will be faithful to our policy and of course put a team out who has a good chance to win the game."
The Frenchman also expressed his view that any side capable of winning a tie should be considered a ‘full side'.
"If you call a full side 11 top players, then we will play a full side," he said. "For me a full side means a team who has a chance to win any game."
Arsenal suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Burnley at this stage of the competition last season and will be hoping to go one better when they return to the North-West in the Carling Cup next month.
