Oxford and Arsenal met in the final game of the third round of the FA Cup, the first to involve Premier League teams.

Founded in 1893, Oxford United are 14th out of 24 in League One (the third English league) with 29 points from 24 matches, 11 points from the play-off places and 7 points from the relegation position.

The Yellows await the Premier League leaders after losing their last league match 0-1 at home to Exeter. In fact, Oxford have won just once in their last five matches and lost five of their last 10 games at home in all competitions.

Since 2018, Oxford have coached Karl Robinson, a former striker who only played in the regional leagues and retired aged just 27, but already has 12 years experience after being on the bench at Milton Keynes Dons (2010) . -2016) and Charlton Athletic (2016-2018).

Arsenal, currently leaders of the Premier League with 44 points from 17 games, five clear of second-placed Manchester City, ended after a 0-0 draw at the Emirates with Newcastle that ended their run of five consecutive league victories .

Mikel Arteta’s side have a very good record away from home where they have won seven games, drawn once and lost just one, 1-3 against Manchester United on September 4th.

The Gunners also qualified for the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League by winning their group with PSV Eindhoven, Bodø/Glimt and FC Zürich, but crashed out of the EFL Cup after a 3-1 home defeat by Brighton.

Arsenal have 14 FA Cup trophies, a record for the competition, the most recent of which was won in the 2019-2020 season.

In the last head-to-head between the two sides, Arsenal beat Oxford 2-0, also in the 2002-03 FA Cup third round, which the Gunners would go on to win (1-0 in the final against Southampton).
