8 h. ago Arteta will not rest players against Palace despite looming PSG tie

‘When players are fit and available, they have to play’Liverpool to be league winners if Arsenal lose to PalaceMikel Arteta will not shy away from selecting key Arsenal personnel to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday in their final game before next week’s Champions League semi-final first leg even though his team are playing for little beyond pride.The meagre prize on offer is delaying Liverpool’s title celebrations but the manager denied he could wrap members of his squad in cotton wool. “We cannot think in those terms,” Arteta said. “I think when the players are fit and they are available and they want to play, they have to play.
