Arsenal manager news LIVE: Mikel Arteta favourite as Man City defeat puts pressure on Freddie Ljungberg

Arsenal's search for a new permanent manager continues with Carlo Ancelotti the 'perfect' candidate, according to Emmanuel Petit.

Paulo Sousa meanwhile insists he is focused on Bordeaux after emerging as a surprise candidate for the Arsenal job.

Carlo Ancelotti also remains in the frame amid reports he is 'free' to join a new club without compensation being owed to Napoli.

Freddie Ljungberg has revealed that Arsenal technical director Edu has told him to work 'game-to-game' as interim manager as the club's search for a permanent appointment continues - and the search may intensify after an abject 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.
