Defender Rob Holding is optimistic Arsenal can progress to the Carabao Cup final after the Gunners responded from their FA Cup exit with a resilient performance at Chelsea.
Nottingham Forest inflicted the first FA Cup third-round loss in Arsene Wenger's 21 years as Arsenal boss last Sunday, ending the Gunners' trophy defence.
And that result placed additional significance on Wednesday night's League Cup semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge, when Arsenal dug in to draw 0-0 ahead of the January 24 return at the Emirates Stadium.
'I think it's a good result for us to take back to the Emirates in the second leg, where we can hopefully nick a goal and get the win and into the final,' Holding told Arsenal Player.
