Arsene Wenger maintains Arsenal still have work ahead before they can put the champagne on ice and dream of Carling Cup glory at Wembley after beating Wigan 2-0 to reach the semi-finals.
The Gunners missed several good chances before they took the lead on the stroke of half-time through an own goal from Latics skipper Antolin Alcaraz.
Wigan lost Victor Moses to a suspected dislocated shoulder and Nicklas Bendtner's close-range effort on 67 minutes kept Wenger's men on course for a first trophy since 2005.
Manchester United's shock 4-0 defeat at West Ham now leaves the Gunners as hot favourites for the competition.
Arsenal were still without injured captain Cesc Fabregas, who has a hamstring problem, and may struggle to recover in time for the trip to Old Trafford on December 13.
Wenger said: "It is impossible to say at the moment. It is not a big injury, but we have to wait."
