The Gunners are trying to hunt down Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table, currently six points behind the league-leaders, while this weekend they are concentrating on FA Cup action.

Arteta’s side host Manchester United in a blockbuster third round tie on Sunday, while they are also still alive in the Carabao Cup, losing the first leg of their semi-final 2-0 to Newcastle on Tuesday night.

Competing on four fronts, with the Champions League as well, Arsenal’s squad has been stretched, especially with significant injuries to the likes of Bukayo Saka and Ben White.

Arteta says there is a chance that there could be movement in the transfer market during the current window, but if there is it will only be for a big player who can immediately improve the first team.

‘Someone that can impact the team. Bringing bodies doesn’t help at all,’ Arteta said of what he looks for in January.

‘It’s about somebody that can impact immediately with performance and they can bring something we don’t have. In this market it’s very, very difficult to achieve.

Chelsea advanced to the fourth round of the cup thanks to braces from Tosin Adarabioyo and Joao Felix, while Christopher Nkunku also got on the scoresheet after having a penalty saved in the first-half.

As expected, Maresca rotated his side heavily with rare starts handed to Reece James, Renato Veiga, Tyrique George and Marc Guiu.

But there was one player who was notably absent at Stamford Bridge: Madueke, who did not even make the bench for the Blues.

As expected, Maresca rotated his side heavily with rare starts handed to Reece James, Renato Veiga, Tyrique George and Marc Guiu.

But there was one player who was notably absent at Stamford Bridge: Madueke, who did not even make the bench for the Blues.

But the Chelsea head coach has clarified that the 22-year-old missed Saturday’s cup game because of illness.

‘Yesterday he didn’t finish the session because he was unwell,’ Maresca said of Madueke in his post-match press conference.

It remains to be seen whether Madueke will be fit enough to feature in Chelsea’s next game on Tuesday night when they host high-flying Bournemouth in the Premier League.

The Blues are dealing with a few injury issues, with Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall all sidelined, while Mykhailo Mudryk is suspended.
