Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger refuses to be declared as favourites to win the FA Cup following his side's fourth-round victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has refused to accept that his side are now favourites to retain the FA Cup this season.

The Gunners made it into the fifth round with a 3-2 away victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, while major rivals Chelsea and Manchester City were both eliminated from the showpiece this weekend.

"We have good experience from last year and of course we will fight because we want to reclaim our Cup but it is too early to say that [we are favourites]," said Wenger, according to The FA's official website.

"After yesterday's results you would always be a bit cautious, the Cup is the Cup. We have good experience and the most difficult games are not especially the expected ones.

"But we always had confidence we could win with the momentum that we have and our urgency was very high. I believe our performance was good. There was room for more goals with the chances that we created but we were good enough to go through. We gave the performance I expected."

Wenger's side are looking to lift back-to-back trophies having won the tournament against Hull City last year.
