Arsenal will take on Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium on Monday in an FA Cup third round encounter.
Mikel Arteta’s side travel to Oxford looking to take their first step in the pursuit of a record 15th title. This is the first meeting between the two sides since 2002-03, when Arsenal won 2-0 with Dennis Bergkamp scoring his 100th goal as a Gunner.
Interestingly, the north London side went on to win the FA Cup that year. They enter the contest on the back of a goalless draw with Newcastle United in the Premier League and should pick up a comfortable victory if they play to their potential.
Meanwhile, Oxford are in 14th place in League One and have struggled to find any consistency in their form. They were defeated by Exeter City at home in their last match and now face the daunting task of taking on the Premier League leaders.
