Last updated : 26 September 2012 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Mark Robins is hoping that his Sky Blues side face a less than full strength Arsenal side tonight

Speaking to the Daily Mail ahead of City's tie at Arsenal, Robins said:"I'm expecting six players from their starting line-up on Sunday to play. but I'm hoping that they renege on that agreement with the Football League.

"If we have to adhere to it and they don't have to, what it means is that they will be slightly less than full strength. They will have quality in every position and ability in every position. 

"We have a list of their players and Arsene Wenger could do anything, to be honest, which makes it difficult to plan. 

"But I have to tell you, I went to watch Arsenal's Under-11s play in a tournament at Warwick University recently. 

"And they have a striker who is a cross between Ian Wright and Thierry Henry. It was frightening. It was pass, pass, pass too. Very impressive. I wouldn't like to face him in a few years! 

"Having said that, we can only plan for ourselves."
