Mikel Arteta has urged his Arsenal stars not to panic after crashing out of two cups — and rediscover their identity to end a six-year trophy drought. Arteta now has the Premier League and Champions League to focus on - yet he is keen to address a club identity which has taken a hit in recent weeks, particularly after Saturday's shock 2-1 defeat to Southampton. That's it, and that's the thing that we have to do. There are a few things that we have discussed internally, and I'm very convinced that tomorrow we're going to see that. Though Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber are ruled out, with a target to have them available for Bournemouth on Saturday.
