Mikel Arteta’s side will want to bounce back from a 1-1 draw with Brentford in the Premier League and keep their silverware hopes alive, with the FA Cup representing another route to success this season.
The North London leaders also continue their strong campaign across competitions, topping the Premier League and progressing in the UEFA Champions League.
Meanwhile League One’s Wigan arrive at the Emirates Stadium at the foot of the third tier, desperate for a giant-killing moment but struggling for form and results. Arsenal are overwhelming favourites to progress here.

Over 7 corners
Arsenal often dominate possession and territory against lower-league sides, forcing repeated attacking entries and set pieces.
In their FA Cup matches this season, like the 4-1 win over Portsmouth, Arsenal’s siege of corners helped unlock a stubborn defence, with goals directly from corners and increased attacking pressure a theme of their build-up play.
Wigan, despite being underdogs, won’t sit back completely and have shown a willingness to create set-piece opportunities in cup ties, which could add to the total corner count.
Tip - Over 7 corners @ 57/100
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are more than 7 corners in the game between Arsenal and Wigan.
Over 2.5 goals
Arsenal’s superior quality has shown in recent FA Cup matches, scoring 4 goals in their last tie while conceding only once.
With FA Cup ties between different-tier teams often open, and Wigan unlikely to retreat too deep, there’s a good chance of seeing multiple goals.
Arteta is likely field a strong side which should have enough attacking quality to dominate the League One side.
Tip – Over 2.5 goals @11/25
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least three goals in the game between Arsenal and Wigan.
Gabriel Martinelli to play 1+ shot on target
Gabriel Martinelli was a standout performer in Arsenal’s FA Cup win over Portsmouth, scoring a hat-trick, including goals from set pieces.
Even with some rotation from Arteta, Martinelli is likely to start and be involved in chances for the hosts.
Arsenal’s attack should generate plenty of shooting opportunities, and Martinelli has shown in cup matches that he gets into strong positions making at least one shot on target very likely.
Tip - Gabriel Martinelli to play 1+ shot on target @4/11
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Gabriel Martinelli plays at least one shot on target against Wigan.
