Arsenal vs Wigan Preview

Arsenal’s home form is excellent this season and the Gunners are likely to have too much quality for struggling Wigan. The Latics concede a lot of away goals and a high-scoring FA Cup home win is the best bet.

H2H - Gunners on Top

Arsenal have a 16-3 advantage against Wigan, alongside two draws.

Arsenal Dominate Most Matches

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are in quadruple contention this season after going unbeaten in 17 of their last 18 matches.

The Gunners bounced back from a goal down and thumped Portsmouth 4-1 in their previous FA Cup game. Gabriel Martinelli scored a hat-trick and Arsenal were in control with 2.91-1.07 XG.

Arsenal were on a four-match winning streak in all competitions and had 8.61 XG across those matches. Arteta’s side most recently beat Sunderland at the Emirates and had 16 shots.

The North Londoners couldn’t maintain their winning streak and drew 1-1 at Brentford. Noni Madueke scored the opener after 61 minutes and Arsenal conceded in the closing stages.

Wigan’s Form Has Dropped Off

Wigan’s most recent win was a 1-0 FA Cup third round victory at Preston. The League One side had just 30% possession, faced 12 shots and Harrison Bettoni struck a late winner.

The Latics are winless in six since that victory, losing five and conceding 15. Wigan have lost their last two, including a 6-1 defeat at Peterborough, where they allowed 4.52 XG.

The winless run continued with a 2-1 home defeat against Reading. Wigan allowed 1.48 XG, conceded first and Joe Taylor levelled before Reading scored a late second.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Arsenal (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Ben White, Christian Mosquera, William Saliba, Myles Lewis-Skelly; Eberechi Eze. Christian Norgaard, Martin Odegaard; Noni Madueke, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli

Midfield duo Max Dowman and Mikel Merino are injured. Attacker Kai Havertz is also expected to miss out with a muscular issue.

William Saliba missed the Brentford draw due to illness and is likely to return. Mikel Arteta explained that the defender was rested on Thursday and said, "This morning Wilo wasn’t feeling good so he’s ill, and he’s at home. Just short-term.”

Wigan (3-4-2-1): Sam Tickle; Will Aimson, Jason Kerr, Morgan Fox; Jack Hunt, Jensen Weir, Matt Smith, Fraser Murray; Harrison Bettoni, Callum Wright; Christian Saydee

Midfielders Jack Rogers and Ryan Trevitt are unavailable due to long-term injuries.

Verdict

Arsenal v Wigan

Arsenal can dominate this FA Cup clash against third-tier Wigan. The Latics have a poor defence and the Gunners can take advantage with a big cup win.
