JAKARTA - William Saliba believes Arsenal can do the unthinkable and win the quadruple this season.
Arsenal are at the top of the English Premier League and Champions League standings. They also secured the Carabao Cup (Carabao Cup) semi-final against Chelsea after defeating Crystal Palace via a penalty shootout at the Emirates Stadium, Wednesday, December 24, 2025.
Mikel Arteta's only major trophy during his six years in charge of Arsenal was the 2020 FA Cup. The Spaniard is under pressure to deliver a trophy this season.
However, there are now four trophies Arsenal could potentially win this season and Saliba believes his side can win them all.
"Yes, of course because we know that in every event we participate in, we know we can win it. We have almost succeeded in the English League in the last three seasons."
"Last season we were in the semi-finals of the Champions League and the Carabao Cup. So we know that we can win every tournament."
"However, we have to prove it on the pitch and have to start winning trophies now. We are in the Carabao Cup semi-final, so there are still three games left for us."
"We have to finish the job in January 2026 against Chelsea. It will be a big game, a big derby, so we have to keep going. We know that it's close and have to learn from last season."
"At the end of our careers, we count trophies. The Carabao Cup is one of them. Now we are in the semi-finals and of course want to win this tournament, like every event we participate in," said Saliba as reported by ESPN.
Arsenal have finished as runners-up for the last three league seasons. They will host Brighton at the Emirates on Saturday, December 27, 2025.
Currently, The Gunners are still two points ahead at the top of the table from Manchester City. However, The Citizens have the possibility of overtaking and leading one point at the top of the table before Arsenal plays a match against Brighton.
The reason is, Pep Guardiola's team will face Nottingham Forest a few hours before Arsenal hosts Brighton.
"The mood is good, but we know that it is still December 2025 and things can happen quickly in football."
"We have to stay focused and keep believing in ourselves and keep working because the most important thing is at the end when we lift the trophy, not before."
"If we have a lot of games, it means we are doing a good job. So, we have to keep going and hopefully the injured players will be back in January 2026 to help," said Saliba.
Arsenal will close 2025 with a match against Aston Villa on December 31, 2025, early in the morning WIB. This year's closing match is considered heavy considering The Villans are only three points behind The Gunners.
Unai Emery's side are also aiming to disrupt the top-flight's dominance after unexpectedly finding themselves third in the Premier League table this season.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will then play nine games in January 2026, a busy schedule that is expected to see the injury storm soon ease.
