Artena: No Need For Panic

Feb 13, 2026

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta sees no reason to panic, after the Premier League leaders dropped points in this morning's 1-1 draw with Brentford.  

He says the important thing is for his players to remain focused on improving individual and team performances moving forward.  

This morning's result reduced their gap with 2nd placed Manchester City to just 4 points.

Chelsea is expected to make several changes in tomorrow morning's FA Cup 4th round clash against Hull.  

It's to give the squad some breathing room, after their mid-week game against Leeds.  

Boss Liam Rosenior says he may even rest his first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. 

He will instead give a senior team debut to Academy player Teddy Sharman-Lowe. 

They'll also be without Marc Cucurella, who's out for four matches with a hamstring injury, while Reece James is in doubt due to illness.
