Arsenal is shifting its focus to the FA Cup following a recent Premier League match, preparing to face Wigan Athletic in the competition's fourth round. Mikel Arteta's team is currently performing exceptionally, leading the Premier League and making it to the Carabao Cup final, which shows their strong positioning in multiple competitions this season.

Despite their success, Arsenal's management has opted out of first-team signings during the January transfer window, trusting in the current squad to achieve their goals. The decision indicates a long-term strategy to preserve financial resources in anticipation of the summer transfer market, suggesting they may seek significant reinforcements then to boost their trophy hopes.

However, injuries continue to pose a significant challenge for Arteta as a key player is expected to miss several games, raising concerns about maintaining their competitive edge in both the league and cup matches. The club is reportedly active in scouting and preparing for prospective transfers that could bolster their squad in the upcoming months, as they aim to solidify their chances at securing a major title this season.
