Arsenal host Crystal Palace in quarter-final tieArteta hopes to use competition to build momentum
Mikel Arteta believes that lifting the Carabao Cup can be the springboard to Arsenal winning bigger trophies as they prepare to face Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.
Arteta celebrates his fifth anniversary in charge on Friday but has only the FA Cup win in his first season and two Community Shields to show for it after finishing as Premier League runners-up for the past two seasons. The Arsenal manager is likely to field a strong side against Palace despite a shortage of defensive options, with the teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly expected to start again at left-back in the absence of Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
