Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hints that he will choose to rotate his squad over the upcoming weeks in order to maintain the sharpness of his players.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has suggested that he may make more regular changes to his starting lineup over the upcoming Christmas and New Year period.

Throughout this campaign, Wenger has rarely made voluntary alterations, with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud all having failed to make a start in the Premier League since August.

However, with the rest of the season in mind, Wenger has acknowledged that more rotation may be required in order to maintain the sharpness of his players

The Frenchman told reporters: "Today the players considering that 20, 30 years ago the players have better surrounding on the scientific, medical controls. We have more scientists around the team that protect them but there is a mental burnout too.

"The players are under huge pressure today and the resistance to stress is a big part of it. It's a mental burnout a lot of the time. They lose confidence and have problems dealing with the competition."

Arsenal face West Ham United at the London Stadium on Wednesday night, just 78 hours after the conclusion of their 1-1 draw at Southampton.
