What They're Saying
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via the club's official website): [Against Singapore], I left nine players out. They will be involved on Saturday. I will rotate a bit because the week after we play two games again. For me at the moment, the [objective is] to give competition to the players without overloading them and [for them] to be capable to work hard in training and to work on their fitness. If they play too many games, you cannot work in training."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez (via Daily Mail): "I can only guess where [the transfer rumors are] coming from. Whoever it is, must have their reason. James McCarthy is a phenomenal asset. We spent a huge amount of money, we are building a team around him, he has a long contract and there is not a single issue. For every Evertonian's peace of mind, James McCarthy is at Everton, he's an enormous asset and we're going to build the future around him."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: McCarthy made 28 appearances with Everton last season, finishing with two goals and one assist.
