Arteta: Carabao Cup can give Arsenal momentum

Mikel Arteta believes winning the Carabao Cup could be the springboard for Arsenal to win bigger prizes in the months and years ahead.

He said: “The fact that you are winning and you get into the next round and it creates something different around the team, and that is why these kind of games are so important.

“It is really helpful. It brings belief, trust, positive energy, touching the cup, and being in the semi-final and beating somebody in the final; it is that energy and it creates the right path to go and do something else.

“Particularly because of the timing and when the competition is played in this country, it gets that momentum going.”

Postecoglou makes trophy vow

Reminder of what Ange Postecoglou said earlier this season.

The Spurs boss commented: “I don't usually win things, I always win things in my second year. Nothing's changed.

“It's amazing, isn't it? I just stated a fact. Am I supposed to just lie or just say it never happened?

"But do you really think it's me sort of boasting?

"It's just confusing to me that people are making a big deal out of something. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to answer something that is true.”

Tough test for Gunners

Arsenal will need to make the most of that first leg in north London against Newcastle.

The reverse fixture is not going to be easy at all, as Mikel Arteta will be fully aware of.

Arsenal were beaten at St James’ Park earlier this season, when Alexander Isak’s goal was the only one of the match.
