Henry gets nod as Gunners go all out

ARSENE WENGER will unleash Thierry Henry on Wigan tonight as Arsenal seek to reach the final of the Carling Cup by swapping youth for experience.

Skipper Henry was rested for the first leg, which Arsenal lost 1-0, but he will start at Highbury as Wenger seeks to take the game to Paul Jewell's side.

Wenger has previously used the competition to give his talented youngsters the chance to gain valuable first-team experience but the Frenchman's desire to reach the final has forced him to dispense with that policy.
