In the dugout: Mikel Arteta

Arsenal can take another step closer to the FA Cup final as they face Wigan Athletic at the Emirates today.
The Gunners have not won this competition since 2020, when they beat Chelsea in the final at an empty Wembley Stadium, and are among the favourites to take the top honour this year.
They got the better of Portsmouth in the third round after overcoming an early scare, and will face more lower-league opposition as League One strugglers Wigan head south.
The Latics are without a manager after Ryan Lowe was relieved of his duties last week, with the club sat 22nd in the third tier and without a win in their last six matches.
Glenn Whelan has had the call-up to serve as interim manager and has been in talks with Brentford boss Keith Andrews about the best ways to nullify the Gunners. The Bees held Mikel Arteta’s men to a 1-1 draw last week.
The former Republic of Ireland international made his managerial debut at the weekend as Wigan were beat 2-1 at home by Reading.
