Birmingham playmaker Hleb hopes to meet Arsenal in Carling Cup final

Birmingham City midfielder Alex Hleb would love to face former club Arsenal in the Carling Cup final.

Arsenal, who beat Brum 3-0 in the Premier League on New Year's Day, host Championship Ipswich tonight trailing 1-0 from the first leg.

Hleb said: "If we were to get to the final against Arsenal, I believe we can win it.

"It would be the final, just one game and anything can happen.

"It would be a completely different game to the recent home match when we lost 3-0.

"But we need to get past West Ham first and that won't be easy because they have a lot of good players."
