Arsene Wenger: 'EFL Cup is the missing piece'

Arsene Wenger agrees with the notion that the EFL Cup is the "missing piece" to his time as Arsenal boss as the Gunners prepare to face Manchester City in the final.

Arsene Wenger has agreed with the notion that the EFL Cup is the "missing piece" to his long tenure as Arsenal boss.

The Frenchman has won multiple trophies during his 22 years in North London but the EFL Cup is the one domestic competition that has eluded him thus far.

The Gunners contested the 2011 final of the competition but were stunned by Birmingham City as a late defensive mix-up saw Obafemi Martins rifle home the winning goal.

On Sunday, Arsenal get another chance to win the trophy as they face Manchester City at Wembley, and Wenger is eager to add the EFL Cup to his Premier League and FA Cup trophies.

When asked by Sky Sports News whether the EFL Cup felt like the missing piece, Wenger replied: "Yes, of course.

"I haven't won it, but I must say as well that over the years I have always used the League Cup for the youth team, and we always had good young players.

"It has changed a little bit now, we are in the final, and it's a good opportunity to win a trophy. You have so many teams in the Premier League who fight for trophies, and like everything you want to win."

Arsenal have won the EFL Cup twice in their history, in 1987 and 1993.
