We kick off our EFL Cup campaign against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night and ahead of the game, Rob Kelly spoke to Arsène Wenger for our preview.
“The confidence level has been rebuilt and now we have to show that we can maintain our focus and the consistency in our concentration. That is what is at stake.” - Arsène Wenger
Wenger may not have won this competition before, but it has offered genuine value to him as he has blooded future stars for the first time, from Fabregas and Wilshere in the past, to Bellerin and Iwobi in more recent times.
“We will have a team with experience but I will also give a chance to two or three young players. But overall it is basically a first-team squad,” Wenger told Arsenal Player.
“The confidence level has been rebuilt and now we have to show that we can maintain our focus and the consistency in our concentration. That is what is at stake.
“This is an interesting cup competition. It gives games to all the members of the squad and when it gets to the later stages it gets passionate, so you have to survive in the first rounds.
“That will not be easy for us, but we want to maintain our winning streak. This is an opportunity to give everyone good competition and also we have a chance to win a trophy, so we want to combine the two.”
