The Gunners trail 1-0 from the first leg of their semi-final in Suffolk a fortnight ago, but are expected to easily overturn that deficit to stay on course for what would be a first trophy in six seasons.

Wenger, though, warned anything other than 100% concentration on the task in front of them at Emirates Stadium will see those hopes come to an abrupt end.

"To go to the final we need to produce a very good game tomorrow night and that is what I am focused on. What it means or not in my head is not important at all," he said.

"I think this team is on a fantastic run, it has a great spirit, a great quality, and I want them to go as far as they can.

"That is the only important thing at the moment - to mobilise our resources in every single game. That is where our future lies."

Wenger added on Arsenal TV Online: "We want to win everything and at the moment tomorrow is the Carling Cup, so we go for the Carling Cup; Sunday is the FA Cup so we go for the FA Cup.

"At the end of the season we will see whether we have won trophies, but at the moment I think the most important is to live the moment for us and not to be looking forward too much."

Wenger will again rotate his starting XI tomorrow night, but accepted Arsenal were well below par in the first leg when the npower Championship strugglers, who had just been thumped 7-0 at Chelsea in the FA Cup after they sacked manager Roy Keane, produced a battling display.

"On the night we were not playing our fluent passing and were not sharp or quick enough," he said.

"We expect them to play the same way again, but of course we want to be much sharper."

Paul Jewell has now taken charge at Portman Road, and is a manager with plenty of experience, having guided Wigan into the 2006 League Cup final at Arsenal's expense.

Wenger feels the former Bradford and Sheffield Wednesday boss is "a very assured, intelligent man", but does not expect his new side to come out all guns blazing at Emirates Stadium tomorrow.

"They will aim to protect their advantage and try to get us on the break with a direct game, as they tried in the first match," he said.

"If you look at my record I think I have been consistent in my career against teams of lower divisions because I respect them and I know that they can raise their level and raise their game.

"If you are not prepared you have bad surprises.

"Where we are stronger is defensively as a team, but of course hopefully we can open them up tomorrow."

Kieran Gibbs, Emmanuel Eboue, Denilson, Andrey Arshavin, Nicklas Bendtner and Marouane Chamakh all started on the bench for Saturday's 3-0 Barclays Premier League win over Wigan and can expect to feature tomorrow, while there could yet be a debut for young Spanish centre-back Ignasi Miquel.

"Recently we have gone for a little bit shorter rotation," Wenger said.

"Every time we play a game it's a very difficult decision because all the players are top quality.

"That's why I have convinced all my squad that we have to go for all the competitions because we have the needed quality, in every position there are two top quality players."

Arsenal are expected to complete a £10million deal for Southampton starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 17, this week, but Wenger maintains there is no movement on the search for central-defensive cover.

However, he insisted there had been no approach for Tottenham's Jonathan Woodgate.

"That was not on our mind at all, completely out of the blue," Wenger said.

"I like Woodgate as a player, but we are not after him."

Wenger feels the imminent return of Sebastien Squillaci from a hamstring problem makes the defensive situation "much easier".

The Gunners boss added: "We are nowhere near [signing a central defender]. At the moment I am not too confident."
