Oxford host Arsenal at the Kassam Stadium in the third round of the FA Cup on Monday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
Oxford are currently 15th in League One, seven points above the relegation zone. Karl Robinson's side have been in poor form of late, having won only one of their last five games across all competitions. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Arsenal this week.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have been in incredible form this season. Mikel Arteta's side are currently top of the Premier League and are unbeaten in their last four games across all competitions. They will look to continue their strong run of form with a win against Oxford on Monday.
Both sides will want to progress to the next round of the competition with a win and that should make for an interesting matchup.
