The Gunners sit top of the Premier League table and are through to the last-16 of the Champions League whilst having a trip to Wembley booked in for the Carabao Cup final. Advancing through to the next stage of the FA Cup should be no trouble for the top-flight leaders especially when considering the fragile state of their opponents today. Wigan currently sit 22nd in League One and are at risk of being relegated. Their only victory in nine outings was the 1-0 win over Preston North End in the previous round of the FA Cup and their form is such that they relieved former manager Ryan Lowe of his duties following a 6-1 demolition at the hands of Peterborough eight days ago. Can the Latics spring an FA Cup shock on the Premier League leaders or will Arsenal cruise into the next round without issue?

It’s the first meeting of the teams in almost 12 years, and since their FA Cup semi-final in April 2014. Arteta was one of the scorers in the shootout as Arsenal defeated holders Wigan on penalties to advance to the final, where the Gunners ended their nine-year trophy drought by coming from behind to beat Hull City at Wembley. Wigan, who were relegated from the Premier League the season before, are currently languishing in the relegation places in League One and sacked Ryan Lowe last week, having lost four matches in a row. But they did win at Championship outfit Preston in the third round to set up a daunting trip to the Premier League leaders. Arsenal stumbled in their pursuit of their Premier League title on Thursday night as they were held 1-1 by Brentford. With a trip to Wolves to come on Wednesday, Arteta could make several changes.
