Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry has claimed that the club's youngsters have what it takes to win the Capital One Cup this season.

The Gunners get their campaign underway tonight when they take on West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns in the third round.

"This competition has done a lot because it gives young players a chance, especially at Premier League clubs," Gnabry told the club's official website.

"It's a really good competition and I'm hoping I'm going to be involved in it this season.

"I think we can win it because we've got good players. We are obviously young but it's not about age. I think we have a chance."

Gnabry played his first match of the season last weekend in Arsenal's 3-1 win over Stoke City in the Premier League.
