Arsenal out to finish the job against Fenerbahce

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has promised to pick a strong team as his side look to rubber-stamp qualification for the Champions League group phase against Fenerbahce today.

The London club swept to an impressive 3-0 victory in the first leg of their play-off tie in Istanbul last week, leaving them on the brink of taking a place in the group stage for the 16th successive season.

Arsenal also have a high-profile derby against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend to think about, but Wenger does not want to take any chances when Ersun Yanal's side visit the Emirates Stadium.

"We have made a big step, but it's not over the line. Now we want to finish the job, because that is a big part of our season," he said.

"The group stage of the Champions League is highly important. I will not rest players on Tuesday night, certainly not."

Wenger was speaking after his side's 3-1 victory at Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Frenchman came in for heavy criticism after a shock loss at home to Aston Villa on the opening day of the season, but he has been encouraged by his side's reaction in their two subsequent games.
