Wenger reshuffles for Leeds cup clash

ARSENE WENGER feels he has little option but to rotate Arsenal’s battle-weary squad as the Gunners kick off their bid for FA Cup glory against Leeds tomorrow.

Arsenal completed an unbeaten Christmas schedule with Wednesday night’s goalless draw against title rivals Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium, where they struck the woodwork twice in the first half and Robin van Persie was also later denied by a fine save from England number one Joe Hart.

Wenger’s men are now four points adrift of leaders Manchester United, who have a match in hand, and trail City by two, having played a game less.
