Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas says teenage striker Sanchez Watt has a great chance of making a first team breakthrough.

Sanchez Watt announced himself for the first time to many at Emirates Stadium with an encouraging debut display capped by the opening goal as the Gunners beat West Brom to set up tonight's fourth-round encounter.

Fabregas had long been aware of the 18-year-old's credentials having frequently trained with the reserves as he recovered from medial knee ligament damage sustained against Rafael Benitez's side last December.

"Sanchez Watt had a good game in attack in the last round and scored his first goal," said Fabregas.

"Since last season he has trained with the first team a bit and when I was injured I often trained in the reserves so I know about him.

"He has been doing very well - he's a brave boy who knows what he wants and is strong mentally. He is very quick and although he looks quite slight, he has good physical strength and can finish well. He is a great prospect for the future.

"I thought the boys did really well against West Brom and deserved the win. Liverpool coming here is a very interesting tie for everyone.

"I'm not sure if we will see another 6-3 result like the last time we met them in the Carling Cup but obviously we wouldn't complain if that outcome was repeated for us!"
