Pep Guardiola's side have won the past seven meetings between the two sides - with Arteta part of the coaching staff at the Etihad Stadium during the one-sided run. Arsenal's last victory in the fixture was the FA Cup semi-final meeting in 2017 and since then they have lost seven games, shipping 20 goals and scoring just twice. "What I need now is energy to transmit to my players, belief and it's the FA Cup - we have a lot of experience here and we have a history related to that. "I expect a tough, tough game," he said. Arteta confirmed Mesut Ozil had returned to training after suffering from "back soreness" but he refused to say whether Arsenal's highest-earner would feature at Wembley.
