London: Arsene Wenger ensured Arsenal had the right mentality against Nottingham Forest following last year's League Cup upset at Sheffield on Wednesday.
Wenger admitted last season's 3-0 defeat at Hillsborough was at the forefront of his mind as he prepared for the third-round tie in the East Midlands.
In the end it was a comfortable 4-0 win for the Gunners as Granit Xhaka's strike, a Lucas Perez double and a goal from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain eased Wenger's team through.
The Arsenal boss said: "I told the players that last year in the first round we won at Tottenham and after that went to Sheffield Wednesday and lost 3-0 because we weren't ready mentally for the commitment of the Championship.
"I think our history helped us a little bit to help us start in a much stronger way."
