Match details

Oxford United vs Arsenal

FA Cup

The Kassam Stadium

10th January, 01:30 a.m.

Preview

Premier League leaders Arsenal begin their quest for a record-extending 15th FA Cup with a visit to League One side Oxford United.

The Gunners are also looking to bounce back from a draw against Newcastle United earlier this week as they maintain momentum on the field ahead of some tough fixtures.

Oxford United may not have envisaged a more robust opponent in the FA Cup third round, as they host Arsenal at the Kassam Stadium. The League One outfit have managed to progress beyond this round in three of the last six years. However, they have not crossed the fifth-round mark in their history.

While they have scored only 29 points from 24 games this season, keeping them in 15th sport in League One, Oxford have yet to have a favorable record against Premier League teams in the FA Cup. They have managed victory only once in eight outings against top-flight opposition, which came against Swansea City in the 2015/16 season.

Unavailable: Gabriel Jesus, Reiss Nelson, Kyle Joseph and Sam Baldock.
