The league cup
Where in the quarter finals so is it now time to play our best 11?
Just 3 games from the final and 4 from a trophy we haven't won since the Charlie Nicholas final.

My personal view is unless your going to win one of the big two competitions or get extremely close to doing so you should go all out in all 3 less prestigious cups available as it would be tough to call wining 2/ 3 a bad season and impossible to call 3/ 3 a bad one.
There will no brownie points handed out for finishing 5th and going full tilt with all eggs in the 4th place basket seems silly to me.

With the CL and PL being extremely difficult to win, it makes the domestic cups more significant. In theory we should play our best team, but we have 8 matches in December, plus the League Cup match. The QF takes place on the week starting the 18th Dec, in between, PL matches against Newcastle on Sat 16th Dec and Liverpool on Fri 22nd Dec, only 2 or 3 days after the QF and as Liverpool are not in the LC, their players will be rested.
I would play as strong a side as possible from our squad, with players such as Mustafi, Chambers, Ospina and Welbeck returning from injury, we could put out a very strong second eleven assuming no injuries and suspensions:
Ospina
Chambers, Mertesacker and Holding
Debuchy Wilshere Coquelin and Maitland-Niles
Iwobi and Welbeck
Giroud

Walcott and Elneny could also be considered.
However, I believe Wenger will select a team similar to last Tuesday's.

Personally, i'm happy to see squad rotation in the league cup. We won't ever discover talent, if we dont. Plus its all opinion as to who or what is our strongest team.

Play the players who have been playing, whilst it would take a fairly large miracle to win the league for me top 3 is still easily achievable. But that’s my opinion.

I only see City a big step ahead and whilst Spurs are playing really well they have the pressure of really really having to win something, which hasn’t gone well the last few seasons.

United and Liverpool are not pulling up trees and Everton are currently 💩.

Wenger normally stays loyal to the team who progress in the cup's.

Apart from the odd player, I don't expect much change in the quarter's.
