Arteta: Arsenal must feed off cup losses

Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal will not panic after losing successive cup games but must rediscover their identity for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Sporting.

Arsenal's hopes of an unprecedented quadruple have crumbled with defeats by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final and Southampton in the FA Cup. However, Arteta has urged his team to use these setbacks as fuel for their Champions quarter-final first leg against Sporting in Lisbon.
