ARSENAL'S Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen is the perfect preparation for Sunday's League Cup final with Manchester City, according to forward Leandro Trossard.

While City were knocked out of the elite competition by European football giants Real Madrid, the Gunners eased into the last eight with a 2-0 win over German club Bayer Leverkusen for a 3-1 aggregate victory. Attention now focuses on Wembley, where English Premier League leaders Arsenal will try to complete the first part of what would be an unprecedented quadruple by defeating City for the first major trophy of the English season.

"We're looking forward to it a lot," Trossard told the club's website.

"It's one of our objectives as well and I think everyone will be ready for that. We're still competing on every level now and we just need to keep going game by game and every game is very important for us, so we want to try and win every game."
