Oxford 0-1 Arsenal LIVE! Elneny goal – FA Cup match stream, latest score updates today
One of the ties of the third round of the FA Cup takes place tonight between League One side Oxford and Premier League leaders Arsenal. The Gunners may well be the most successful team in the competition’s history yet that only means that anything but a win at the Kassam Stadium will be a mighty upset.
Dumped out at this stage last year, Arsenal have not experienced back-to-back third-round defeats since 1996. Yet, despite winning the tournament in 2020, they have more often than not struggled to put FA Cup runs together in recent times. Having already been sent packing in the Carabao Cup, Mikel Arteta’s side will see this game as the start of a key route to silverware.
Oxford, sat 15th in League One, have only reached the fourth round once in their last five attempts. Follow all the action live via Standard Sport’s match blog with Simon Collings providing expert analysis from the ground!
