Oxford United vs Arsenal: FA Cup Records, Stats, Goals, Head to Head & everything to know

Oxford United have a monumental task at hand when they welcome Arsenal for an intriguing third round FA Cup tie. It goes without saying that the Gunners will be clear favourites in this match, thanks to their squad quality, depth, and current form. However, history has time and again proved that anything is possible in cup competitions. Besides, Mikel Arteta’s boys have an important Premier League match at the weekend, which could force their manager to rotate the squad massively for this tie.

The big changes to the starting XI could end up providing an advantage for the home side, if they can get their game plan sorted out. However, form is not on Oxford United’s side who are going through an extremely difficult phase this campaign. They currently have 29 points from 24 games to be placed 15th in the League One table. On the other hand, leaders Arsenal have 44 points from 17 match. Their draw at home to Newcastle United in their last match has helped second-placed Manchester City cut the deficit at top to five points.
