Arteta Hopes League Cup Loss Will 'Fuel' Arsenal Season Run-In
Arteta said the 2-0 loss to Manchester City should strengthen Arsenal for the Premier League title race, FA Cup and Champions League push.
- Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is urging his players to use their Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City as "fuel" for the season's remainder, aiming to sustain their pursuit of remaining trophies after the 2-0 loss at Wembley.
- The 2-0 loss 12 days ago against Pep Guardiola's side dashed the club's quadruple hopes and raised questions regarding Arsenal's "big-game mentality" amid their six-year trophy drought.
- Arteta faces difficult roster selection for the FA Cup tie, with 10 players including Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, and Noni Madueke withdrawn during the international break; Eberechi Eze and Piero Hincapie will also miss.
- Despite a significant error against Manchester City, Arteta intends to start goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for the FA Cup quarter-final at St Mary's Stadium, insisting he would not judge the 31-year-old solely on one mistake.
- Arsenal remain nine points clear in the Premier League title race and travel to Sporting Lisbon next week for the Champions League quarter-finals, following their weekend FA Cup match at Southampton.
