Arsenal's Carling Cup tie against Liverpool has been postponed due to heavy fog at Anfield.

Arsène Wenger was disappointed with the decision, saying that he didn't believe the game should have been postponed.

Wenger said: "It's disappointing because the young players had a good opportunity to play. I think it would have been very interesting."

Wenger also said that he didn't have a problem with playing on a Wednesday but that there were too many other arrangements made this an impossible alternative.

He added: "It is impossible in 24 hours to rearrange a game."

Referee Atkinson said he had endeavoured to get the game played but he had to consider not only his fellow officials and the players but also a full house at Anfield.

"We were informed at 1600 GMT this afternoon the conditions were quite bad and we got to the ground at 1650 GMT to have a look at it," he said.

"It is very misty and has been for the last three hours. We have been in the stands, looked round from different angles from a spectators' point of view and the weather is not getting better - you can't see some parts of the pitch."
