Arsene Wenger says Arsenal can't worry about the timing of the FA Cup game

The two Premier League powerhouses will face each other in the quarter-finals of the competition on March 9.

Wenger's men have to contend with a busy fixture list prior to that, as they will have to play four times in the space of 11 days.

BBC will show the game, and while it's not a prime slot for the TV audience, Wenger maintains his side only care about getting to Wembley.

"Look, we play when we are told to play. Is it Monday, Sunday, Friday... we just want to win," Wenger said.

"We adapt to the time. I don't think that will be a major problem for us.

"It's certainly not the most prestigious timing for people who want to watch on television. 

"It's more suited to a Sunday game. But we adapt. No problem. 

"What I want is to go to Wembley, no matter who we play.”

Arsenal ended their nine-year trophy drought last season when they won the FA Cup.
