Match Preview

Arsenal's five-match unbeaten run across all competitions ended with a frustrating draw against Brentford in midweek, halting their streak of four consecutive victories prior to that result. 

The Gunners will be confident heading into their FA Cup fourth-round clash against Wigan Athletic, aiming to progress and keep their quadruple hopes alive as Mikel Arteta's side remain in contention for the Carabao Cup final, Champions League, and Premier League title. 

Wigan, on the other hand, extended their winless run to six matches with a home defeat to Reading in midweek, marking their fourth consecutive loss across all competitions. 

The Latics, currently struggling in League One, will be hoping for a dramatic change in fortunes as Glenn Whelan and Graham Barrow's side aim to cause a major FA Cup upset against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. 

Injuries, key stats

Arsenal are likely to be without several players, including William Saliba (illness, minor doubt), Martin Ødegaard (limped after post-Brentford), Kai Havertz, Mikel Merino, Bukayo Saka (doubt), Max Dowman, and Leandro Trossard (doubt). 

Meanwhile, Wigan Athletic have a relatively clean bill of health, though James Carragher remains doubtful after a recent knock, and Harry McHugh is still behind in his rehabilitation. 

Arsenal have overwhelmingly dominated the last 10 competitive meetings with Wigan, securing victories in eight of them.

While drawing one and losing just one (a home Premier League defeat). 

This record underscores Arsenal's strong historical superiority over Wigan ahead of their upcoming match.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
