Oxford United welcome Arsenal to the Kassam Stadium in the FA Cup on Monday night. Do the hosts have a chance? Our answer is in the prediction below.

Command Analysis

Oxford United

Oxford United lost four of their previous five games, and on the first day of the new year, they yielded to Exeter City at home (0:1) - that was their first defeat in the last six home games. Carl Robinson's side will have to put their best foot forward to fight against the current Premier League leaders, and it is unlikely that they will succeed. The last time Oxford won against the representatives of the top tier was back in season 1993-94.

Arsenal

Arsenal defeated Oxford United in the third round of the FA Cup 20 years ago, when Arsen Wenger's team won the trophy. The Gunners have won the FA Cup 14 times, and this year they will definitely go for the 15th title. Mikel Arteta's men lost only two out of 18 previous games. On Tuesday, Arsenal drew against Newcastle (0:0) - and Arteta insisted, that his side was robbed of a victory. Nevertheless, Arsenal still top the Premier League standings, five points clear of Man City.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (-2) to Arsenal

1.88

Arsenal haven't conceded any goals to Oxford since 1986. We do not expect an upset here - the Gunners are a better team and should overcome Oxford even if Arteta uses rotation.

Our prediction — Asian handicap (-2) to Arsenal

TipTotal under 4 goals

The hosts will surely focus on their defenses, so we don't think this will be a crushing defeat. The Gunners will probably try to save the energy for the upcoming Premier League battles, which are their priority now.
