“Rosicky is not far away, Welbeck will be three or four weeks so hopefully we will get our players back”. It was vital because you had that pressure to win trophies.

The former Chelsea stopper has since gone on to break the Premier League clean sheet record and has drawn plenty of plaudits for his form as Arsenal squeezed through in Europe while moving clear at the top of the league. Wenger remains adamant that prioritising between the three main competitions is simply not practical.
Besides that win at Bournemouth, their only victory was in the League Cup against midlands rivals Birmingham City and they will be wary of an upset against fourth tier Wycombe Wanderers.

But Chambers insists there will be no lack of incentive to deliver success in the main domestic cup competition. I’ve won the FA Cup six times. In the whole history, nobody has won it more.

Arsenal are both the league leaders and the FA Cup holders, this is a team flying high at the moment and Arsene Wenger’s side have been excellent this season. Wenger countered on Friday by saying that it was no different to handling midweek European fixtures and he still expects a strong Sunderland line-up.
If Arsenal wins the cup this year, they will be the first team since 1886 to do so.

Ospina has had to wait a long time to make amends for his mistake against Olympiakos in the Champions League.
“When you have two good players you have always a chance to make the right decision”.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has highlighted the differences between Petr Cech and David Ospina.
“I believe that Ospina is not treated fairly”, he said.
