Arsenal are looking to advance to the next round of the FA Cup but have to beat Oxford United in their Monday night fixture.
The Gunners are the most successful club in the competition and are looking to win a first title since 2020 when they beat Chelsea 2-1 in the final.
The home team, Oxford, were dumped out in round one by Bristol Rovers last season and now face their toughest test yet.
Oxford are coming off a 1-0 defeat ton Exeter in League One, while Arsenal were held to a barren draw by Newcastle United on January 3.
Oxford have seen off Woking and Exeter City to put their name in the hat for a third-round glamour tie with Arsenal.
Arsenal have the 2nd best attack in the Premier League, having scored 40 goals in their 17 games so far this season.
They also have the 2nd best defense, having only conceded 14 goals in their 17 games so far this season, while Oxford have only scored once in their last 5 games.
Oxford’s only win from their last eight FA Cup ties against Premier League opposition came against Swansea City in the 2015-16 third round.
Since beating Chelsea in the 2020 final, Arsenal have been dumped out in the fourth round by Southampton and third round to Nottingham Forest.
Will this be a routine victory for Mikel Arteta’s side or can Oxford pull an upset to advance to the fourth round?
