Jack Wilshere feels Arsenal are just too good not to be getting their hands on silverware – and is confident of Carling Cup success on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The combative midfielder is enjoying his breakthrough season with Arsenal following a productive loan spell at Bolton, the 19-year-old making his full England debut against Denmark earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Wilshere has found himself a central part of Arsene Wenger’s young side, who must do without captain Cesc Fabregas and England winger Theo Walcott on Sunday because of injury.<\/p>\n
However, despite all of their promise, the Gunners have not delivered any additions to the trophy cabinet since moving to Emirates Stadium in 2006.<\/p>\n
With Arsenal still competing for honours at home and in Europe, Wilshere believes victory at Wembley can only lead to more success.<\/p>\n
“At the moment, this has been the best season I could have asked for. I have played for England and now am about to represent my club in a cup final, which is massive,” Wilshere told Arsenal TV Online. “I am really looking forward to Sunday, it will be the biggest game of my life so far.<\/p>\n
“If we can win, it will give us confidence for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n
“It has been five years since Arsenal won anything and this team is too good not to win things.<\/p>\n
“Every game brings pressure when you are at a big club like Arsenal.<\/p>\n
“The cup final is a one-off game and anything can happen, so we have to be ready.<\/p>\n
“We just have to play our own game, because on our day, we can beat anyone.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully we can do it for the fans and then bring more at the end of the season.”<\/p>\n
Wilshere feels the absence of Fabregas and Walcott can be used as a positive.<\/p>\n
“Cesc is a great leader and if we win it, there will only be one person to go up and lift the trophy,” he said.<\/p>\n
“In a way we can do it for him and Theo too, he has been a massive player for us in the Carling Cup and scored two goals against Newcastle.<\/p>\n
“We will miss them, but we need to go and do the job without them.”<\/p>\n
Tomas Rosicky could be drafted into the starting XI on Saturday, with Abou Diaby, just back from a three-match suspension, another option should Wenger decide against bringing Samir Nasri in from his wide role.<\/p>\n
At 30, Czech Republic international Rosicky is one of the more senior members of the squad.<\/p>\n
The former Borussia Dortmund and Sparta Prague midfielder knows full well the impact victory at Wembley would have for the future.<\/p>\n
“It will be important for the whole team. Remember, there are a lot of young guys here that haven’t won a major trophy before so it could be a very big boost for everyone,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Beating Birmingham could lead to more success, it’d be a huge step up for the future.<\/p>\n
“Once you have tasted how great it is to win something it makes you even hungrier for more so it’s a vital game for us on Sunday.”<\/p>\n
Just what that feeling could do for the confidence of the group is also not lost on Nicklas Bendtner.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old Denmark striker, who netted a superb goal in the 3-0 semi-final second-leg win over Ipswich, added: “I would love to say that I have trophies to show for my time at Arsenal – that’s why I’m here, to win things and play with the best players.<\/p>\n
“Everyone wants to be a part of that, so it would be nice if we can start off with some serious silverware on Sunday.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
