Mikel Arteta is setting out to replicate the winning culture at Chelsea – starting with victory over the Blues in Saturday’s FA Cup final.
The Arsenal head coach could win his maiden trophy as a manager, walking out at Wembley less than eight months since he was appointed to his first post.
The Gunners go into the game as underdogs given they finished four places and 10 points behind Chelsea in the Premier League – but they did beat Manchester City in their quest for an unmatched 14th FA Cup title.
“We know the opponent that we’re going to have in front of us and the rest is a consequence of our performance and what we do on the day.
“There’s no need to talk to them about that (financial ramifications of losing). They are aware of it. I don’t want to add any extra pressure onto them in terms of that.
“They are preparing really well this week, they look ready to go and what they have to drive them forward is the energy and ambition to grab that cup at the end of the 90 minutes.”
