Arsene Wenger has been all praise for his young players, who have enjoyed great success in the League Cup.

Ahead of their clash against Manchester City in the Quarter Finals, Gunners Manager said that he has used this competition for giving experience to the youngsters in his squad all the time.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the Carling Cup match on Wednesday, Wenger said, “There are a number of players, who have performed well in the cup. Most of these young players have gone on to become the best players for the side in the Premier League.”

“In this very team, you have players like Denilson and Song, who are examples of this system.”

“Both these players were a part of the Gunners side that won 6-3 at Anfield 3 season back. Song was not even a favorite for many to be a part of the Gunners starting eleven. However, now, both of them have become an integral part of the starting eleven.”

Speaking on the match, he said, “It is going to be a tough game, but you can always be assured that Arsenal will come out prepared to give City a run for their money.”
