Christian Norgaard could be handed a rare start alongside Eze and Declan Rice in the engine room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up front, Bukayo Saka is fit again after a hip issue and could form a front three with Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/smarkets-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SBK betting offer<\/a>: Bet \u00a310, get \u00a340 in free bets<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Eligible readers* interested in this SBK betting offer can follow <strong><a href=\"\/en\/go\/smarkets?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THIS LINK<\/a> <\/strong>or click the image below.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/go\/smarkets?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1422500\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145.png 625w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-208x267.png 208w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-156x200.png 156w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-47x60.png 47w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-117x150.png 117w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-31x40.png 31w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">New UK customers only.

id=\"h-arteta-out-to-create-more-magical-fa-cup-memories\">Arteta out to create more magical FA Cup memories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FA Cup holds happy memories for Arteta and he will be eager for his Arsenal side not to let their concentration levels drop when hosting Wigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Spanish tactician won the FA Cup in his first season in charge of the Gunners, but expectations have been raised since that success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The north Londoners sit atop of the Premier League table, fending off Manchester City by four points at the moment, while they also have a League Cup final against the Citizens on the horizon and have qualified for the last-16 stage of the Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the opportunity of an FA Cup won\u2019t be passed up lightly by Arsenal, who are the record 14-time winners of the oldest national football competition in English football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the Premier League is the key target for Arteta\u2019s men this season and seeing their six-point lead cut to four after the draw at Brentford will have increased the nerves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arsenal may look to make full use of their squad against League One strugglers Wigan on Sunday, but there is no side in the country with a deeper squad than the Gunners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It remains to be seen how many, if any, trophies Arsenal can win this term, but they will need to progress past the Latics to keep their FA Cup hopes alive.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-articles-list\">\n                    <h2 class=\"sq-heading-line\">Latest
