Oxford United Team News
After a couple of great seasons during which they finished in the top 8, this season is very poor for Oxford United. They are 15th in the table with 29 points and seven wins after 24 games.
They are in the run of one win in the last six games in the league and their form is often “hot and cold” this season. Since the start of November they has only four wins and two of them are in the FA cup.
One of their problems is the results at home. At Kassam Stadium, Oxford has won four games and only five teams have the worst record at home this season. This season, Oxford is struggling with defence. They didn’t concede too many goals but they concede a goal in almost every game.
Oxford has only three clean sheets this season and only two at home. The attack with 29 goals scored has a lot of space for improvement, but a positive thing is that they failed to score in only two home games.
Arsenal Team News
Arsenal continued their good run without a win. They dropped two points at home against Newcastle in the Premier League, but they are still 11 games without a defeat in the league.
They are league leaders with five points more than Manchester City and Arsenal is still in a great position. That game against Newcastle was the first in which Arsenal didn’t score a goal in the Premier League.
The FA Cup was always a very important competition for Arsenal. They have the most trophies (14) and the FA Cup is the only competition that they won multiple times in the last 15 years.
Mikel Arteta will use this game to rotate the squad and give an opportunity to some players with fewer minutes this season.

Oxford United vs Arsenal Prediction
The Kassam Stadium will be full. The atmosphere will be electric. This game will be shown live on TV. Arsenal is the favourite here, without any doubt, but the magic of the FA Cup is in these kinds of games. When a small team from the lower leagues play against the Premier League side.
Oxford has interesting philosophy and style of play with their manager Karl Robinson and he prefers a 4-3-3 formation and because of that, we expect one very open game with a lot of goals.
