Arsene Wenger says the team are ready to win the FA Cup again
Arsenal face Coventry in the FA Cup fourth round
And Wenger accepts it is not time to dream about Wembley glory just yet
He added: "I would say when you get to the quarter-finals then you think there are only two games to go before you're in the final and until then you just want to get through each game."
Arsenal are expected to show several changes for the cup tie against Coventry, with Denmark forward Nicklas Bendtner a possible starter should he have recovered from the ankle problem he suffered against Cardiff on New Year's Day.
Almost nine years have past since Patrick
Vieira held the FA Cup after a penalty shoot-out win over Manchester
United in Cardiff - and Wenger revealed he'd love nothing more than to
taste that success again.
"I have been lucky
enough to win it four times, but unfortunately we haven't won it for a
long time now so in fact I am even more focused to do well in this
competition now," Wenger said in the February edition of the official
Arsenal magazine.
"I would love the club to win the FA Cup again."
"The magic of the cup is when you get close to the end of the competition, the dream becomes more real.
"We
all had that dream as kids, we were educated by seeing people lifting
cups that became our dream - to make it come true is one of our
targets."
