Gabriel Martinelli fires bullish warning to Newcastle as he insists Arsenal will try to 'score five' to turn around Carabao Cup semi-final

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. In their clash at Emirates Stadium last month, the Gunners suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss with Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon on target for Newcastle.

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.

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."

After facing the Magpies in midweek, Mikel Arteta's side will be back in action on February 15 as they take on Leicester City in the Premier League.
