Wenger: 'I will play four strikers against Milan'

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hinted that he could play four strikers when the Gunners face AC Milan on Tuesday.

Arsenal need to overhaul a 4-0 deficit in order to advance in the Champions League, and Wenger has insisted that he will go for the jugular.

"I can take a risk, because I have no choice, basically. I have only two midfielders – Alex Song and Tomas Rosicky. That means we have to play with four strikers," Wenger told reporters.

"I'm tempted. I have to see if Rosicky is available or not. If Rosicky is not available, I will be in a very difficult situation, because I don't know what I can do then."

The Gunners need to score five goals without reply to advance into the latter stages.
