Gus Poyet says the excitement at Sunderland has been reflected in the best week of training under his charge. The Capital One Cup final against Manchester City looms next weekend Sunderland's first major final for 22 years and there is also an FA Cup quarter-final at Brighton or Hull. Yet nothing matters more than Premier League survival and, with his team in the relegation zone, Poyet is desperate for a tonic. Arsenal want a response to the Champions League loss against Bayern Munich. David Hytner
