Arsenal press conference LIVE: Mikel Arteta on Wigan, Calafiori injury, FA Cup draw and more

Mikel Arteta faced the media after his Arsenal side comfortably put away Wigan Athletic in the fourth round of the FA Cup. His side reached the fifth round for the first time since 2020, when they would go on to win the competition.

The first order of questioning for the Gunners boss will certainly surround the omission of Riccardo Calafiori from the team despite being included initially in the starting eleven. Arsenal saw goals from Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, and an own goal from Jack Hunt see them through.

All eyes will now turn to midweek when the Gunners will play at Wolves, looking to put seven points between themselves and title chasers Manchester City.
