Coventry midfielder Moussa wants full strength Arsenal for Cup clash

Coventry City midfielder Franck Moussa wants Arsenal to be at full strength for their FA Cup tie.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is renowned for giving young players a game in cup ties.

But Moussa told the Daily Express: "If you're going to play against Arsenal, you might as well play Arsenal - not some 16-year-olds that have never played before.

"It would also show some respect if they give you their best players.

"Then it's up to you to stand up to the challenge - this is Arsenal, there's no hiding from that

"We're not fools, we know we're playing against one of the best teams in the country. But I won't be a wide-eyed boy looking to swap shirts. We've had that conversation already, we want to try and get a result. We're not there just to turn up, we want to do something special."
