Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has said that he will not rest players for their Europa League round of 32 tie against Ostersund this Thursday.
The Gunners are away to the Swedish minnows, after finishing first in the group.
“There is no reason why I should rest players. I would have anyway gone for it, especially as we have no game between the two matches.
“I will play the normal team because it is one of the opportunities we have, especially because we don’t play in the FA Cup,” Wenger said.
Wenger has refused to give up on leading Arsenal back to the Champions League through a top-four finish.
His team are now six points off Champions League spots, after they lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Arsenal missed out on a top-four place for the first time in 20 years last season and had to settle for the Europa League.
