Rice says Arsenal confident ahead of Carabao Cup final | OneFootball

Declan Rice has said Arsenal are confident of ending the club’s trophy drought in this weekend’s Carabao Cup final.

Arsenal take on Manchester City at Wembley for the first silverware of the campaign on Sunday. The Gunners are into a major cup final for the first time since winning the 2020 FA Cup and are aiming to end a six-year silverware drought.

Mikel Arteta’s team booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with a win over Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday, to continue their pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple.

Following that win, Rice told CBS Sports that attention has already turned to Sunday’s showdown.

“It could be the start of something. It’s the first trophy that’s up for grabs. If you win that, the momentum after that that takes you forward is massive.

“Sunday’s going to be a great game against them. It comes down to how much you want it. How much do you want it on Sunday? How much do you want to win a trophy with this team and for these fans?

“Look, the lads are already talking about it. We’re excited. We’re ready. Any game of football we go into we believe we can win, so we’ll be ready.”
