Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky says victory in the Carling Cup final is crucial for the development of the current team.
Rosicky is in no doubt about the magnitude of Sunday's Wembley showpiece with Birmingham.
"It'll be important for the whole team," he told the Official Arsenal Match Programme. "Remember, there are a lot of young guys here that haven't won a major trophy before so it could be a very big boost for everyone - I think that beating Birmingham could lead to more success, it'd be a huge step for the future.
"Once you've tasted how great it is to win something it makes you even hungrier for more, so it's a vital game for us on Sunday."
