Arsene Wenger's record in the FA Cup means the competition will always be special to the Arsenal manager but this season it could be critical to his efforts to prove he is still the best man to lead the club.
.
Wenger has already emerged from one sustained bout of criticism this season that interested when his side were defeated at home last month by Swansea.
.
A month on from that defeat, Arsenal will head to South Wales for Sunday's FA Cup third round meeting with Swansea in better shape following an improved run of form in the league.
.
However, they remain in sixth place in the Premier League, 18 points adrift of the leaders Manchester United and destined once again to play a supporting role in the title race.
.
'' They played a (League Cup) final the year before last and they lost, but it is many years since they won a trophy, which is why they will come here with the best team they can put on the pitch ''.
