West Brom caused one of the upsets of the season so far when they won 2-1 away to champions Manchester United last weekend.u00a0"They had quite a strong side out (in the League Cup) and many of the regular players played, but they have a big squad," Wenger said.
"I noticed when I looked at their team who played at Manchester United, that they have a massive squad of experienced players, so it's very difficult to predict who will play against us."
Meanwhile Wenger felt compelled to admonish Arsenal's Jack Wilshere after the England midfielder was spotting holding a cigarette outside a London nightclub in midweek - although the player himself insisted this was a "prank" and that he wasn't a smoker.
