Katie McCabe wants to break Manchester City hearts on the double

Katie McCabe is targeting a league and cup double over Manchester City on Saturday.

Arsenal secured an extra-time win over City in Wednesday’s Conti Cup semi-final - and the two sides clash again in the WSL in Manchester at the weekend.

“Round two on Saturday. We'll be going up there and it's always a tough game away from home at City,” the Ireland captain told Arsenal.com.

“I'm sure they'll be looking for revenge but we'll be looking to make sure we keep momentum off the back of this win tonight and finish on a high before the international break.”

Arsenal claimed a place in the final on Wednesday thanks to a 93rd minute Stina Blackstenius winner.

McCabe said: “When you play for Arsenal, you want to be playing in cup finals. We're lucky enough to do that now in March.

“I think we had a bit of everything in our performance. It's a credit to our new signings as well, coming in and getting a start in such a big game.

“Luckily enough for us, we scored in the first half of extra time and it was dogged towards the end, but it's the way we have to win.”
