Arsenal cannot afford to take this match for granted because they cannot take the competition for granted. Here are all the ways to watch the fixture.
Arsenal travel to KC Stadium with what could be construed as a bit of momentum. They dug in their heels and made a statement by equalizing with the Spuds after dropping a 1-0 lead thanks to Francis Coquelin’s red card. It was not the ideal result, but given the circumstances, it’s definitely something that should fire up Arsenal.

The club had been devoid of momentum and even hunger, according to Alexis Sanchez, but numerous Arsenal players showed a certain fire against Tottenham.
All that being said, Arsenal will not have their usual crew. This is their third match in eight days, so rotation will be in order. It is unlikely that we see any of Arsenal’s heavy hitters. Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud should all be resting. Giroud is the only one with potential to make an appearance. And if so, I don’t need to say how big a game it is for him.
The match is in the hands of a lot of unproven commodities, as well as commodities that have some growing to do. Danny Welbeck, Alex Iwobi and Joel Campbell should all be featuring and it will be interesting to see how well they are able to contribute to Arsenal’s cause.
The FA Cup has renewed significance as even Arsene Wenger has to be keenly aware that to take home no silverware this year is unacceptable. However, the Premier League is still more important, and therefore so is resting up for the weekend.
