Arsenal are clear favorites to win the 2013/14 FA Cup trophy after Manchester City who could’ve stood on their way were bundled out by holders, Wigan Athletic.
Arsene Wenger, has warned the club fans not to celebrate yet, as the north London club look to end their embarrassing nine year trophy drought.
The French tactician said: “The cup is the cup. What we have learned is that the consistency of Wigan shows that they have the quality to deal with the pressure in the cup.
“They created of course a huge surprise so we are warned that only a top level performance will get us through.
“If you want to say that we will be favorites, I agree with you, but being favourites doesn't win you games - performances win you games and that's what we have to focus on.
The Premier League giants were also big favorites to win the Capital One Cup a few years ago but were shocked by Birmingham City in the final who were relegated that season
Arsenal will take on Bayern Munich tonight for a place in the Champions League quarter finals but face a daunting task of overturning a 2-0 deficit at the Allianz Arena.
