Arsenal

Arsenal will hope to avoid a repeat of last season's third round exit in the FA Cup when they visit Oxford United.

They went on to win the FA Cup that season. What also helps this fixture be overwhelmingly one-sided in Arteta & Co.'s favour is their opponents' patchy form of late. Arsenal will travel to Kassam Stadium to take on League One side Oxford United in the third round of the FA Cup.

Eddie Nketiah bagged a brace to help us ease past Oxford United in the FA Cup third round.

And on 76 minutes, the striker showed more excellent composure to add his second and our third of the night. That goal seemingly broke the resilience of the hosts, and just seven minutes later we doubled our advantage. After the restart, our tempo was higher and we immediately began causing more problems for our opponents.

Mikel Arteta has eased fears that Bukayo Saka could miss Sunday's north London derby, insisting the Arsenal winger "is fine" after an injury scare.

"It’s been four months since he played so I think it was the perfect game to give him some minutes to get off the blocks," Arteta said. WHAT THEY SAID: "Saka is fine," the Arsenal boss said after the victory at the Kassam Stadium. That raised concerns that he could miss this weekend's game at Tottenham, but Arteta insisted that the England international had not done anything serious.

Mohamed Elneny feels that our 3-0 victory over Oxford United will only build confidence heading into the weekend's north London derby.

“We knew it was going to be a tough game today because for [Oxford] it is one game of the season and it is something big for them. “Of course, I’m happy to score and help my team to win the game. “I think we were frustrated because we knew we were playing good but we just missed out on scoring a goal,” he added.

Eddie Nketiah answered Arsenal's call once again as he netted a brace in a hard-fought 3-0 FA Cup third round win at Oxford United.

But an injury sustained by Bukayo Saka, who seemed to pull up with 15 minutes remaining, will be a major concern ahead of Sunday's crucial north London derby at Tottenham. But they improved massively after the interval, with Fabio Vieira producing two excellent assists to break the resistance of the hosts. The first was a fine free-kick, which was headed home by Mohamed Elneny and the second was a delightful through ball for Eddie Nketiah, who rounded Oxford keeper Ed McGinty to make it 2-0.

Arteta's comments may be a message to Arsenal's hierarchy to get a deal for Mudryk done ahead of the north London derby this weekend.

Speaking after the victory, Arteta said: "The problem is that we have only one striker and to cope for that many months until Gabby [Gabriel Jesus] is back is not easy. The two clubs are still discussing bonuses, but are edging closer to an agreement on a transfer fee which could be around €100million (£88million). The Gunners are facing late competition from London rivals Chelsea but remain confident in securing a deal.

Eddie Nketiah scored twice as Arsenal set up an FA Cup fourth-round clash away to Manchester City after seeing off third-tier Oxford United 3-0 on Monday.

Saka was then replaced after receiving treatment in concerning scenes for Arsenal, but there was some solace in the return of Emile Smith Rowe for the first time since September. “Every player wants to play,” added Nketiah. Mikel Arteta named a strong side featuring his preferred front three in the absence of the injured Gabriel Jesus as Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli flanked Nketiah in attack.

The first was a fine free-kick, which was headed home by Mohamed Elneny and the second was a delightful through ball for Eddie Nketiah, who rounded Oxford keeper Ed McGinty to make it 2-0.

Following our 3-0 win over Oxford United in the FA Cup third round, Mikel Arteta held his post-match press conference at the Kassam Stadium.

So I think the boys really understood that in the right way. That happens and you have to play the same teams in different competitions and I will try to prepare for the game to win it, obviously. That game will be very different to the game that is in the league, but we know each other really well. Because of the way the game was in the first half, he was man-marked all the time and he didn't have a lot of space. In the FA Cup, you have to play against the top sides. Obviously, he contributed in a big way to win the game.

Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta has identified striker, Eddie Nketiah, as a 'great finisher.' Arteta said this following Arsenal's FA Cup third-round 3-0 win.

“The decision making to wait until the last moment shows his quality. He is a great finisher and the timing of his runs as well,” Arteta said. Recall that Arsenal defeated Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium following a goal from Mohamed Elneny and a brace from Eddie Nketiah.

Emile Smith Rowe has revealed he is "itching" to make an impact in Arsenal's title bid this season after making his long awaited return from injury.

So it was really tough, but I managed to get through it and I am just happy I’m fully fit now." I had a successful surgery and I am feeling really good. WHAT THEY SAID: It’s been a tough few months for the 21-year-old, but now he is back and has vowed to try and make his mark.

Mikel Arteta admits that Arsenal's lack of striking options is a “problem”, with the Gunners seemingly missing out on Joao Felix to Chelsea.

And to go for that many months until Gabby is back is not easy. I will try to do that and if we have any reinforcements, great.” Arteta is reluctant to be drawn into a debate regarding specific transfer targets, but concedes that he needs to work hard on improving those at his disposal while also reinforcing collective ranks at Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta has admitted that his side may find it difficult to cope if they fail to recruit an attacker in the January transfer window.

Lionel Messi could also join great rival Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia. The Gunners were again engaged with Chelsea in a fierce fight to sign the Brazilian winger over the summer, but he instead opted for a dream £55m switch to Barcelona. Now the Daily Express claim that Barcelona could make the 26-year-old available for an exit already in the coming weeks, potentially leading to another opportunity for Arsenal to get their man. The Gunners have been in pursuit of the Ukraine winger for weeks as Mikel Arteta seeks a new forward option during his side’s Premier League title pursuit, battling Chelsea to get a deal over the line. He adds that talks have now reached their final stage, with the transfer finally potentially set to be finalised in a matter of days. The Guardian claim that Chelsea are lining up a move for Caicedo this month, with the club not considered as frontrunners in the summer sweepstakes for England duo Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham. Chelsea have also been linked with Trossard as part of another potential reunion with former Seagulls boss Graham Potter, with talkSPORT now suggesting that Arsenal are also in the fray. Standard Sport understands that Spurs are interested in a deal for the Brighton forward having declined to activate an option to extend Lucas Moura’s expiring contract last month.

There is a lack of quality in depth in the midfield at the Emirates Stadium but Lemar's arrival could significantly improve Arteta's options should Granit Xhaka, Martin Odegaard or Thomas Partey suffer a long-term injury. His creative flair and attacking ability has now been paired with a relentless work ethic which has seen him morph into a brilliant box-to-box midfielder, something Arsenal could definitely use. Arsenal may be prioritising a move for Mykhaylo Mudryk in the January transfer window but there are other areas of the squad that need improving. The £45million summer signing's absence has been eased by Eddie Nketiah's impressive form since the Premier League resumed on Boxing Day, with the youngster scoring five goals in his last five appearances.

Emile Smith Rowe spoke to the media following his return to the pitch in our FA Cup win over Oxford.

"I've been itching to get out there and play with the boys," he said. I had a successful surgery and I am really feeling really good." "We are feeling really good at the moment. "I was pretty much with them from the start after surgery. But right now, I just need to focus on Arsenal and getting some more minutes. I am just going to kick on from here."

Everton gave a good account of themselves before succumbing to Man United in the FA Cup Everton's fans have not turned on Lampard in the same way Chelsea's have on Potter, mainly due to the realisation that such a turnover of managers is more indicative of issues behind the scenes.

So, with Felix on his way to Chelsea and Mudryk seemingly edging closer to Arsenal, who else could Mikel Arteta target should he want to sign not one but two forwards this month?
