Arsenal head to St. James' Park on Wednesday night in a bid to overturn a two-goal deficit from the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final fixture.

The North London side, however, are in good spirits at the moment, following a thumping 5-1 win over reigning English champions Manchester City in the Premier League last weekend. Martinelli, who contributed with an assist in his team's win over City, remains confident that Arsenal can score five goals once again to book their berth in the Carabao Cup final.
WHAT GABRIEL MARTINELLI SAID
Speaking to reporters, the Brazilian said: "We know our qualities. It’s not because we lost 2-0 to Newcastle in the last game – we are going to go there just to play now. We are going to go there to win the game and to score three, four, five.
"Let’s see. It is going to be another battle and we know how difficult it is to play there. But we have an amazing team and we trust ourselves. We have full confidence in our squad."
