Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has assured fans they're taking the FA Cup seriously.

The Gunners host Liverpool in tonight's Third Round.

Odegaard said, "The FA Cup is a huge tournament, we've won it more than any other team, so we want to be strong in the competition again, and starting at home is exactly what we wanted. It's a very tough opponent of course, we know a lot about them from playing at Anfield a couple of weeks ago, and this time with our own supporters behind us we will be ready and looking forward to it.

"I watched a lot of English football growing up, and so I know about the history of the FA Cup and how special it is, getting to Wembley and everything that goes with it. As I said, we're all desperate to win trophies as a team, and individually as well you have to take those chances when they come along in your career. So we want to start that journey today, and see how far it can take us.

"The last time we won the FA Cup was a few months before I came to the club, but I remember watching that Covid final at an empty Wembley. Auba scored both goals that day as captain I remember, and it would be amazing to go back to Wembley with this team, with a full crowd there this time."
