According to Arsène Wenger, it is “not like 10 years ago”, when top Premier League teams would roll over those from the Championship. “They compete at the right level,” the Arsenal manager said, and he knows his players can take nothing for granted as they seek to finish a stodgy January on a high. Burnley, third in the Championship, are aware that only one lower league team has toppled Wenger’s Arsenal in 40 FA Cup ties – their Lancashire rivals, Blackburn, in 2013. David Hytner
