Former Arsenal manager George Graham has said that Arsene Wenger should field a weakened side in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich next month.
Graham believes that the tie is lost following the Gunner's 2-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg, and that they should focus on winning the Premier League.
He told Metro: "One of the questions facing Arsene is whether they play their best team and try to win the tie, which is near impossible, or concentrate on the league.
"Personally I'd play a weakened team because I think the second half of the first leg was like a practice match for Bayern.
"It took a lot out of Arsenal and they have some very tough games coming up. They need fresh legs and fresh minds."
Arsenal beat Sunderland 4-1 in the league on Saturday.
