Wenger Won't Shift his Cup 'Policy'

Arsene Wenger insists he will not risk Arsenal's Premier League title chances by gambling with his senior players in the Carling Cup.The Gunners currently sit top of the table following a weekend which saw them come from behind to win 3-1 at Bolton, while rivals Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all dropped points.

However, following a hectic travel schedule, which included a Champions League trip to Kiev, Wenger will give nearly all of his first team a well-deserved rest on Tuesday night when Championship side Sheffield United are the visitors to Emirates Stadium.

The Arsenal manager firmly believes his squad have what it takes to stay the course and mount a sustained assault on the title.

"The results went for us over the weekend, but we produced a good performance. That is why we are very happy," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.
