Wenger has confirmed it will be a much-changed Arsenal side (from the match against Chelsea) which bids for a place in the last four in the Carling Cup.
The Gunners' fixture list is looks congested - and after their 1-0 victory over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium, Wenger has confirmed his usual Carling Cup policy of relying on his talented young fringe players will again be in operation.
Wenger told the club's official website,
www.arsenal.com: ``The Carling Cup is more of a squad game, because we decided as a squad to go for every single trophy. Many players that didn't play against Chelsea will play at Blackburn.
``I believe in them, and it is good (for the fringe players) to show me `we knock at the door and we want to play in the first team'.
``We use the competition for our players to grow up - but not only to grow up. It is also to show they are good enough to play in the Champions League and the Premier League.
``I believe as well what is fantastic is to see these players respond under the pressure of Premier League teams, and you can detect who is ready and who is not ready.
Walcott (knee) could be back in contention depending on whether his injury is fully healed. Bendtner is likely to lead the attack, with Eduardo - who scored twice in the last round - and Polish goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski also set to feature.
It is going to be a tough game. Hope we can beat them and go into the last 4.
My prediction: Win on penalties.
