William Saliba insists Arsenal "want to win everything" ahead of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
The Gunners beat the Blues 3-2 in first leg at Stamford Bridge and will have their eye on the final, which will be played at Wembley Stadium on March 22.
Arsenal go into Tuesday's clash on the back of a 4-0 thumping of Leeds and Saliba insists it is important Mikel Arteta's side continue their strong form.
"Yeah, we know it's been a while before we go to the final in the Carabao Cup. So, it's a massive game for us, especially at home and it's a big derby, Chelsea," the Frenchman said.

"So, we have to win and everyone wants to win and everything on Tuesday to go in the final." He added: "It would give us a lot of confidence because I think if we go in the final of the Carabao Cup, it would be the first final of everything.
"So, we have to go there and the game isn't won. We have to prove it that we want to win everything and yeah."
Arsenal currently sit top of the Premier League and are also through to the Champions League round of 16, as well as the fourth round of the FA Cup.
"Yeah, of course, we want to win every competition," Saliba said. "We have the squad for that, we have the coach for that. So, yeah, we have to keep going and obviously be focused on every competition and yeah, that's it."

He added: "It's a big club, so there's a lot of pressure every time. It's good when there is pressure, it's good. We play football for that.
"So, if we want to respond, we have to respond on the pitch. First, it will be Tuesday and then we'll see. We have a lot of games, there's four months left. So, yeah, we will give everything possible to win every game."
