Wigan Athletic defender Steve Gohouri is up for a big performance against Arsenal.
Gohouri put in a man-of-the-match display on his full Premier League debut against Portsmouth in midweek.
And he is looking forward to the clash with Arsenal, where he will meet up with his Ivory Coast international colleague Emmanuel Eboue.
"Of course I know Eboue very well. I have played with him many times for the national team and he is a really good guy," Gohouri told the Wigan Evening Post.
"I am looking forward to the game. Everybody wants to play in games like this, and the standard will be high - like playing in an international match.
"We will see on Sunday if we are up to the challenge."
