Arsenal discover FA Cup fourth round opponents after Portsmouth hammering

Arsenal will take on another lower league side in the fourth round of the FA Cup as they will host Wigan Athletic in the next stage.

The Gunners progressed after coming from behind to win 4-1 away to Portsmouth on Sunday afternoon. An own goal and a Gabriel Martinelli hat-trick helped fire Mikel Arteta's side into the round of 32.

With Arsenal still in every competition and presented with a good chance to win multiple trophies, they should fancy themselves to pick up a good victory against the Latics.

Arsenal to host Wigan in FA Cup fourth round

The draw was made on Monday evening ahead of Liverpool's clash with Barnsley and the Gunners were given a home tie with the League One side pulled out soon after.

It will be the first time Arsenal have taken on Wigan since they last faced off in the semi-final of the 2013/14 FA Cup. Following a 1-1 draw, the Gunners triumphed 4-2 on penalties on their way to defeating Hull City 3-2 in the final.

Having entered the competition in the first round, the Latics have reached this stage following penalty shootout victories over Hemel Hempstead Town and Barrow, before winning 1-0 at Preston North End in the last round.

The Gunners have reached the fourth round for just the fourth time under Arteta and they will be looking to go past it for the first time since they won the cup in his first season as manager.

With this another great opportunity to win a trophy and Arsenal a serious contender to win a double, treble or even a quadruple, fans will be hoping they finally make it into the round of 16 as they look to keep all potential roads to silverware open.

The tie will be played the weekend of 13 February with a kick-off date set to be confirmed in due course.
