So what is Arsene Wenger expecting from FA Cup opponents Watford? 

"They are very solid defensively and when you imagine Watford, you think of a team that is very strong and the basis of their game is based on efficiency," says Wenger.

"They wait for the right moment to be dangerous and they have a good understanding between the two strikers. The quality of our centre-halves will be important on Sunday."

With Leicester and Tottenham out of the FA Cup, Arsenal, third in the Premier League, are the highest placed team left in the competition. So that makes them favourites, right? Maybe not.

"If you look at the other teams that are still in the competition you would say three or four other teams (are favourites) as well," says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

"We have a chance like anyone else and we want to play as hard as possible to give us a chance of being successful."

It's like a conveyor belt of managers' news conferences today. And the next one is Arsenal's Arsene Wenger.

His side have won the FA Cup in both the last two years so can they do the same this year?

"Our record shows we try to do well. Everyone tries to do well in the FA Cup," says Wenger, whose side face Watford in the cup quarter-finals on Sunday.   

"Is it the best chance to win a trophy this season? It is too early to say."
