‘Nothing to Lose’: Aussie Star Faces Arsenal in FA Cup
Arsenal plans to rest key players due to a congested schedule and injury issues, with squad rotation giving opportunities to younger players, aiming to advance in the FA Cup.
- On Sunday, Arsenal will rotate their squad for the FA Cup fourth round at the Emirates Stadium, with Mikel Arteta saying it’s a chance to rest legs and reset.
- After sacking Ryan Lowe last week, Wigan sit 22nd in League One following a home defeat to Reading on Tuesday.
- Arteta said Kai Havertz's injury means he will miss the next three games, and Mikel Merino is sidelined after foot surgery while Max Dowman is out with an ankle problem.
- A win would book Arsenal a place in the FA Cup fifth round this weekend and provide a confidence boost after a 1-1 draw at Brentford that trimmed their lead to four points.
- Whelan, who has a 100% FA Cup win rate against Arsenal from one match, could have an ace up his sleeve; the game will be live on TNT Sports 1 and Discovery+ on Sunday.
