Arsenal vs Wigan Preview
Recent results
Arsenal could only muster a 1-1 draw at Brentford on Thursday, seeing their lead at the top of the Premier League cut to four points. The disappointing result followed an impressive three-match winning run against Leeds (0-4), Chelsea (1-0) and Sunderland (3-0).
But things are far bleaker in the Wigan camp, hence why Ryan Lowe was recently relieved of his duties as manager. The Latics are 22nd in League One after an eight-match winless streak, most recently losing to Peterborough (6-1) and Reading (1-2).
Arsenal beat Portsmouth 4-1 away from home to reach this stage of the FA Cup, while Wigan shocked a few by winning 1-0 at Preston North End.
Head-to-head record
This is the first meeting between the sides since the 2014 FA Cup semis, when Arsenal won on penalties following a 1-1 draw.
Overall, the Gunners have won 16 of their 21 games against Wigan in the Premier League era, though the Latics did win 2-1 at the Emirates back in April 2012.
Team news
Kai Havertz, Mikel Merino and Max Dowman are the known absentees for Arsenal, with Martin Odegaard also a doubt after hurting his knee at Brentford. William Saliba could return from a bout of illness.
Wigan reportedly have no injuries or suspensions to contend with, which is a significant positive ahead of such a tough assignment.

Arsenal vs Wigan Betting Tips
Player to score or assist – Ben White @ 2.22
White’s attacking thrust from right-back is a weapon which has perhaps been underutilised this season, but expect it to be on show against Wigan. With Arsenal likely to dominate the game from the first minute to the last, White will play more as an auxiliary winger rather than a defender, further increasing his chances of a goal contribution.
Player to score or assist – Riccardo Calafiori @ 3.00
And if you want to find more value in this market, Calafiori could be your man. The Italian should line up at left-back here, and his marauding runs have troubled top-tier teams throughout the campaign. Against Wigan, Calafiori could have a field day, and the fact he averages 1.33 shots per game in the Premier League makes the odds here stand out even more.
Bet Builder: Arsenal to win, over 3.5 goals & Gabriel Jesus to score anytime @ 2.30
Our Bet Builder feature is a great way to boost the odds on an Arsenal win. Jesus should come into the XI to afford Viktor Gyokeres a rest, and this is a competition he loves, netting 10 goals in 22 previous appearances. Furthermore, Wigan’s 6-1 defeat at Peterborough last weekend is evidence of their defensive frailties, hence why we have opted for a high number of goals.
