Midfielder Aaron Ramsey is aiming to play at Wembley Stadium by achieving success in the Carling Cup.
Manager Arsène Wenger has already promised to field a young team in the match against West Bromwich Albion tonight.
And the Welshman, who joined Arsenal from Cardiff City, has indeed been pencilled into the team. The 18-year-old feels that his game has improved since his transfer to the North London club.
Ramsey said: "Of course it is a competition we can win, even if the manager fields a young team. We can win any competition. No matter what the side is, we have the same mentality to win every game and to win every competition if we can.
"It is good that the manager uses the competition to give some youngsters a chance and it is a good opportunity for us to show what we can do.
"It gives us experience and helps us to get used to the surroundings and big crowds. To come here from Cardiff was a big step up in terms of everything.
"I am settled now and feel like one of the lads. I am not a kid in the dressing room anymore, I really feel part of it.
"I want to play every game and put pressure on the manager. I don't just want to be the guy who starts in the Carling Cup.
"I am still only 18, but I am like every other player - I want to start every game and do well for Arsenal."
