Wenger: We must fight on
Arsene Wenger maintains Arsenal still have work ahead before they can put the champagne on ice and dream of Carling Cup glory at Wembley after beating Wigan 2-0 to reach the semi-finals.
The Gunners missed several good chances before they took the lead on the stroke of half-time through an own goal from Latics skipper Antolin Alcaraz.
Wigan lost Victor Moses to a suspected dislocated shoulder and Nicklas Bendtner's close-range effort after 67 minutes kept Wenger's men on course for a first trophy since 2005.
Manchester United's shock 4-0 defeat at West Ham now leaves the Gunners as hot favourites for the competition.
However, Wenger insisted "You have seen it in the Premier League, and with West Ham, it can happen to Manchester United, to Chelsea and to us this season.
"We have to accept there are no guarantees, even if we are in the semi-finals, that we will win the trophy - you have to fight in every single game to win."
