The Gunners drew 0-0 with Everton on Saturday to drop more points in the Premier League title race and were unable to capitalise on Liverpool being held by Fulham.
Now, they must dust themselves down as Mikel Arteta plots a return to Wembley. For all of Arsenal’s progress under the Spaniard, the trophy return is relatively low and a domestic cup victory could be a major boost during a slightly more difficult season this time around.
