Arteta on.. Xhaka, Bellerin, Guendouzi and the cup

Mikel Arteta had a strong connection with the Emirates FA Cup as a player - and he wants to repeat that as a head coach.

Our former midfielder lifted the trophy in 2014 after a dramatic Wembley comeback against Hull City, and he stands three wins from getting his hands on the cup again.

Ahead of the sixth-round trip to Sheffield United, Mikel took part in a virtual press conference.

On the agenda: how a trophy can galvanise a team, Granit Xhaka's vocal leadership, Hector Bellerin's return journey from injury - and the inspiration he takes from Liverpool.
