The Gunners boss admits he will have to make changes for the visit of the Premier League leaders - with the likes of captain Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey all "in the red" in terms of match fatigue. Wenger, though, feels on-loan Israeli Yossi Benayoun, combative midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong, England under-21 starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and South Korea captain Park Ju-young - who were both on target in previous rounds - can all rise to the occasion. "I believe that some players are on the fringe of being really limited. I will rest some players, but I still want to play a team that has a chance to win the game," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Emmanuel Frimpong will play, but I consider them to be first-team players. "Park is adapting to the level he is facing here and he has another opportunity against Manchester City tomorrow night to show that he can do it. "Yossi has been absolutely fantastic, but we have so much choice in midfield and we play with three strikers. The chances for the midfielders are not so big and that is why he has not played as much as he deserves." Wenger added: "The attitude of all the players that came in has been great, everybody helps focus the team to win and he does that as well." Oxlade-Chamberlain, a £10million summer signing from Southampton, capped a sparkling display against Shrewsbury in the third round with a goal, before then also scoring on his Champions League debut against Olympiacos. However, the powerful 18-year-old has only featured once since, which was the last Carling Cup tie with Bolton on October 25. Wenger, though, is happy enough with Oxlade-Chamberlain's progress to date. "Overall, Alex has the quality and I can only show that I believe in that in buying him. Secondly in playing him - but also by working with him on the training pitch," said the Arsenal manager. "Alex is developing very well. He is very positive and he works very hard." City, who remain five points clear at the top of the table after Sunday's 1-1 draw at Liverpool, will also make wholesale changes. Striker Mario Balotelli and England midfielder Gareth Barry are suspended, but both Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy, who left Arsenal in the summer, could face their old club, along with centre-back Kolo Toure. While Wenger accepts Blues boss Roberto Mancini may have a depth of talent which to choose from, there is no reason why Arsenal cannot get a result on Tuesday. "What you call a second-string side for Man City still involves some very good players," said Wenger, whose jaded team were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw at home by Fulham on Saturday. "If you look at the team who played Wolves [in the last round] they still have seven or eight players, who you don't know if they are first or second string. "The good news for us is that we expect to play against a strong side and that we know we will only go through if we produce a top-class performance. Let's focus on that." Wenger added: "Every time Arsenal is involved it is our pride and ambition to do well. "We want to win the match and get through. Therefore, we will try to give absolutely everything. "It is important for the whole club to show our strengths again."
