Wenger’s happy with rotation ‘luxury’

Arsene Wenger will continue with the ‘luxury’ of rotating his Arsenal side and believes he has the squad depth to succeed while doing so.

The Gunners welcome Norwich to the Emirates Stadium tonight in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

It remains the one domestic trophy to elude Wenger during his time in England, with the Frenchman known for using the competition to blood young talent.

Wenger – who saw his side win 5-2 at Everton on Sunday in a result which saw Ronald Koeman lose his job as Toffees boss less than 24 hours later – insists he will continue with the same approach, which he has also applied in the Europa League this season.

“I will continue to rotate,” he said. “I’ve gone into that rotation policy and afterwards you have to continue to do it, especially when both teams work well and both teams support each other at the moment.

“I must say that it’s difficult to make a change because to win away from home in the way we did at Belgrade, you need some special quality. Let’s hope we can reiterate that against Norwich.

“That’s the luxury I have at the moment and the difficulty I have as well. All these players do well, play well and they deserve to play.”

In other key Carabao Cup games tonight, Manchester City host Wolves while Swansea City entertain Manchester United and Middlesbrough travel to Bournemouth.
