4. Wigan Athletic have lost 4 successive games in AH.
 

[Tips]:
There is a considerable gap in quality between the two sides, so the outcome is hardly in doubt.

After their disappointing draw in the previous league outing, Arsenal need to refocus on the Premier League, but even a rotated squad for the FA Cup tie should be more than enough against EFL League One opponents.

Wigan Athletic, meanwhile, are on a four-match losing streak in the league, struggling in both defense and offense.

Considering the current handicap, it is still advisable to back Arsenal for a comfortable victory in this round of the FA Cup.
 

[Recommended]:
Arsenal F.C. (-3)
