Tonight we have a very tough game against league leaders Man City.
I have no idea of the team we will face, but even if it is a back up team full of fringe players, such is Man Citys strength in depth, the quality will be very high.
The likes of Yossi Benayoun, Maraoune Chamakh and Ju Young Park will get their chance to stake a claim for a first team place, whilst youngsters such as Emmanuel Frimpong, Francis Coquelin and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be using this chance as a catalyst for more first team action.
Buoyed on by the home crowd, tonight we should see a hungry team with a lot to prove. This is by far our biggest test in this competition this season, and hopefully we can come out on top. After last seasons disappointment, I would like us to win this trophy. It would represent some sort of turnaround, exorcising the demons of Wembley earlier in the year.
Two players I'm looking forward to seeing are Ju Young Park, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Two exciting players who have the ability to be match winners.
This season, whilst not going gung-ho for the cup, the big clubs are treating this competition with a lot of respect, mixing youth with experience. Arsene Wenger has followed the same route so expect the likes of Andrey Arshavin and Gervinho to play their part.
An exciting encounter awaits tonight, and I have a good feeling we will win.
2-1 to the mighty Gooners, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain running the show.
Enjoy folks.
