Mikel Arteta will allow the families of his Arsenal players to join their mid-season training trip to Dubai - after suggesting the team 'needed love' after sobering Liverpool defeat

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has invited families on his team’s pivotal mid-season trip to Dubai on Tuesday.

The Gunners are scheduled to fly to the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday for a winter break to Dubai - a trip that the club hope will revive their flagging season.

Arteta’s men have suffered three consecutive losses during a run that has seen them win just one in seven matches.

The sequence has seen Arsenal fall five points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool and crash out of the FA Cup following Sunday’s loss to the Merseysiders.
