Sheffield Wednesday are driven by last season's FA
Cup display at Manchester City as they prepare to face
Arsenal in the League Cup.
Sheffield Wednesday striker Atdhe Nuhiu believes the second-
tier outfit can send Arsenal packing from the League Cup.
Wednesday will host Arsenal in the fourth round of the League
Cup on Tuesday, with the Championship opponents full of
confidence.
Nuhiu and Co. pushed Manchester City to the brink of
elimination in the FA Cup in January, as two late goals downed
Wednesday 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
That performance still lives long in the memory, with Nuhiu
warning Wednesday are primed to cause an upset.
"We will take a lot of hope and inspiration from that game into
this tie," said the Austrian.
"City are one of the biggest clubs in football, but we matched
them for long periods and proved to ourselves that we can take
even the top teams all the way.
"And there will be no pressure on us because everyone expects
Arsenal to win. We have got nothing to lose, so we can just go
out and enjoy it.
"It will be great to play against such a big team, and I am
positive that we can hurt them and cause an upset."
