In the midst of inconsistent performance, Oxford United must answer Arsenal’s challenge in the third round of the FA Cup. The Yellows have managed just one win in their last five League One games – two draws and two defeats.
Defeated by Exeter 1-0 in front of their fans suddenly made Oxford coach, Karl Robinson, inflamed. Moreover, his first defeat in the last six home games – three wins and one draw – came ahead of hosting Arsenal.
As a club that competes in the third division, Oxford has already competed in the FA Cup this season. To qualify for the third round, the club, which is currently ranked 15th in the League One standings, won matches against Woking 2-1 and Exeter 4-1 first.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have the privilege as a Premier League club to go directly to the third round. Before traveling to Kassam Stadium, the Gunners had just dropped points after being forced to draw by Newcastle United in the last league match.
In the FA Cup, Arsenal is listed as the club’s most prolific collection of titles. The Gunners have collected 14 trophies, the last time going through the finals in 2020 with a 2-1 win over Chelsea.
Last season Arsenal’s progress in the FA Cup was stopped in the third round after losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest. The Tricky Trees are listed as a club that has twice eliminated Arsenal from the third round in the last 26 seasons of the FA Cup.
This match marks the first meeting between Arsenal and Oxford United after the two met in the 2002-2003 FA Cup third round. At that time, Arsenal managed to eliminate Oxford with a 2-0 victory, until they finally won the FA Cup.
