Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has called on his players to absorb the pain of their shock Carabao Cup exit before turning their focus toward a massive Premier League showdown. The Gunners were stunned by League Two opposition on Wednesday night, leaving the Spaniard searching for answers ahead of a difficult trip to Merseyside.
Arsenal legend Paul Merson has lashed out at Mikel Arteta’s treatment of teenage prospect Max Dowman following the youngster's dismissal in the Carabao Cup. The Gunners suffered a humiliating exit at the hands of League Two outfit Fleetwood Town, but the manager's touchline conduct has stolen the headlines.
Arsenal have been hit by a devastating triple injury blow just as they prepare for a high-stakes Premier League showdown with Liverpool. Mikel Arteta has confirmed that several key first-team stars missed the club's midweek humiliating defeat to Fleetwood Town and are now facing a race against time to be fit for the weekend.
Fleetwood Town produced a night for the ages by dumping Premier League champions Arsenal out of the Carabao Cup in a stunning penalty shootout victory. However, the League Two side’s historic achievement was momentarily overshadowed by a hilariously foul-mouthed slip during the post-match celebrations.
