William Saliba believes Arsenal are capable of winning a historic quadruple this season.

Saliba has been a mainstay this season, and is confident that Arsenal are capable of delivering a flight of titles to the Emirates this season.

"But we have to show that on the pitch, and we have to start winning trophies now.”

Saliba continued, saying he and his Arsenal team-mates were relishing the opportunity to face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

"We are in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup so there are three games left for us, and we have to do the job in January against Chelsea.

“It will be a big game, a big derby, so we have to keep going. We know that we are close and we have to learn the lessons from last season.

"At the end of your career we count our trophies, and the Carabao Cup is one of them - and now we are in the semi-final and of course we want to win this competition, like every competition that we play."

Arsenal have finished second in the Premier League in each of the last three seasons, but Saliba is adamant that his team-mates are feeling optimistic ahead of the second half of the season.

"The mood is good but we know that we are still in December and things can happen quickly in football.

"We have to stay focused and keep believing in ourselves and keep working because what matters is at the end when we are holding the trophies and not before.

"If we have a lot of games, it means we are doing a good job so we have to keep going and hopefully the players that are injured will be back in January to help us."
