Wenger said: "I think it's an interesting cup competition that gives games to all of the members of the squad.

"When it comes to the latter stages it becomes passionate. You have to survive in the early rounds which is not going to be easy for us."

Forest boss Philippe Montanier: "Nicklas Bendtner is fit and ready to start a game now.

"Perhaps this would be a fantastic game to start him in."
