Arsenal will be looking to use their incredible 5-1 victory over Manchester City as belief that they can overturn a deficit in the Carabao Cup semi final.

Arsenal travel to Newcastle having suffered a 2-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium earlier in January and know that they face an uphill task in order to reach the Carabao Cup final.

Mikel Arteta’s side will need to show the clinical edge that they produced in the win over Pep Guardiola’s side as Ian Wright hailed Arsenal’s second half finishing.

Ethan Nwaneri got on the scoresheet after his excellent cameo from the substitutes bench and a number of Arsenal stars have reacted the youngster’s social media post, some high praise has been handed out.

Leandro Trossard calls Ethan Nwaneri a ‘jewel’ on his social media post

After the game, celebrations were enjoyed by the North London side, including the Arsenal DJ mocking Erling Haaland by playing ‘Humble’ by Kendrick Lemar.

A number of players have taken to social media to express their delight at the result and this included Nwaneri who stated that he ‘loves the team.’

Leandro Trossard replied to Nwaneri’s post with a ‘jewel’ emoji, suggesting that the youngster is a jewel in Arteta’s crown and has a bright future ahead of him.

Fellow Arsenal academy graduate and goalscorer against City Myles Lewis-Skelly also showed his love towards his team mate Nwaneri.

Mikel Arteta should consider starting Nwaneri against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup

The form of Nwaneri cannot be ignored any longer by Arteta, he has scored seven goals already this season with a high proportion of his minutes on the pitching coming off the substitutes’ bench.

With Arsenal needing to overturn a two goal deficit, Arteta should be considering a more adventurous line up against Newcastle and Nwaneri is a player he should be looking to include.

Declan Rice is more than capable of anchoring the midfield to allow the likes of Nwaneri and Odegaard to roam behind the front three attackers.

Bravery is going to be needed at St James’s Park and that could start with the manager’s team selection, leave nothing to chance and go for the win will be the order of the day from the Gunners.
