Former Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has warned Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger against fielding a weakened side for the two teams' FA Cup clash this afternoon.

The Reds travel to the Emirates Stadium with the 5-1 win against the Gunners eight days ago still fresh in their minds.

He told The Mirror: "A defeat like the one at Anfield leaves a bitter taste in your mouth and, by the way, if they're not careful, Arsenal will get another hiding this weekend.

"Liverpool are not able to make wholesale changes as they do not have the Champions League to worry about, so they will be strong.

"If Arsenal do put out a weakened side, they might struggle badly and one more chance of a trophy will have been lost."

The Gunners face Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week.
