The 2019-20 champions Arsenal are out to continue their fine run of form when they welcome third-tier outfit Wigan Athletic to the Emirates Stadium in the fourth round of the FA Cup. This is the second time that these two sides will meet in this competition. The former won the previous matchup between these two sides 5-3 on penalties in the semi-finals in the 2013-14 season. Here's our match prediction.
Arsenal are enjoying a great run this season across all competitions. The English side can potentially win four trophies this season if they manage to play their cards right after recently beating Chelsea to reach the EFL Cup final. Success in the FA Cup could see them reach the fourth round for the first time in three editions.
Wigan Athletic, on the other hand, have never progressed beyond the fourth round in the past seven editions and will be hoping to do one better this time around against a formidable opponent.

Arsenal & Wigan Squad Analysis
Arsenal come into the fourth round of the FA Cup with four players in the injury room. This includes Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Mikel Merino, and Max Dowman. Another player set to miss this crucial encounter is William Saliba, who is recovering from an undisclosed illness.
Gabriel Martinelli has played 82 minutes for the home team in just one appearance in this competition. Despite this, the Brazilian international is the team's top scorer with three goals to his name after his hat-trick against Portsmouth in the third round. The left winger is expected to feature in the starting line-up in a bid to extend his goal tally.
Gabriel Martinelli scored a hat-trick in his last FA Cup outing.
Meanwhile, Wigan Athletic have two players who are doubtful for the fourth round FA Cup clash. This includes James Carragher and Harry McHugh. Other than that, interim managers Glenn Whelan and Graham Barrow should be able to name a strong starting line-up.
Joe Taylor (on loan from Huddersfield) is expected to lead the attack this Sunday. The 23-year-old has three goals to his name in the EFL League One but has yet to find the back of the net in this competition and will be aiming to do so.

Our Arsenal vs Wigan Prediction
This matchup between Arsenal and Wigan Athletic is a classic David vs Goliath clash. The Premier League outfit are expected to dominate proceedings from start to finish. It's worth noting that the former have avoided defeat in their last three meetings against this opponent, with two wins in the process. Their victory shouldn't be doubted in this one.
However, there's no value in picking Arsenal in the full-time market given their odds-on price. With Wigan's defensive frailties and Arsenal's explosive offense expect a high-scoring affair. Our Arsenal vs Wigan Athletic prediction: more than 3.5 goals.
