Arsenal will be bidding to avoid an upset in the FA Cup when they head to third-tier outfit Oxford United in the third round of the competition on Monday night.
Mikel Arteta's side will enter the contest off the back of a goalless draw with Newcastle United in the Premier League, but they remain top of the table, five points clear of second-placed Manchester City.
The Gunners are the most successful side in the history of the FA Cup, having lifted the trophy on 14 occasions, with their last triumph in the competition coming in 2020.
