Arsenal will face Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round after progressing past Oxford United in the tournament. City knocked out Chelsea to make their way to the next stage of the competition.
Manchester City thrashed Chelsea 4-0 to secure their place in the next round of the competition, as Riyad Mahrez scored twice and Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden both netted.
Meanwhile, Arsenal progressed to the next round of the FA Cup with a 3-0 win over Oxford United.
The Premier League’s current top two sides will meet at the Etihad Stadium in the FA Cup fourth round later this month.
City and Arsenal go head-to-head at the Emirates Stadium just over two weeks after they face one another in the FA Cup.
City have won their previous five matches against the Gunners in all competitions, with Arsenal’s only win in the past 13 meetings coming in the FA Cup in 2020.
The last time the pair faced one another in the FA Cup was the 2020 semi-final. Arsenal won 2-0 thanks to a brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
However, in the league, Arteta has never beaten his former mentor and colleague Pep Guardiola. Both Spaniards will be hoping to progress and take out their main rivals in the process.
