Oxford United vs. Arsenal: Time, TV channel, stream, confirmed lineups, betting odds for FA Cup match

Premier League leaders Arsenal will be expected to extend a run of 13 successful FA Cup ties against teams from outside the top two divisions of English football when they visit Oxford United in the 2022-23 third round on Monday.

The Gunners last lost to opponents meeting that description when they were knocked out by Wrexham in 1992, and Oxford's current run of one win in six league games will only add to the FA Cup shock if they can earn a positive result against the team six points clear at the top-flight summit.

"From what we’ve seen, they’ve played in different ways – and result-wise as well, they’ve had a bit of everything," said Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta, speaking ahead of a tie that will earn the winners the right to visit Manchester City in the fourth round. "It’ll be a very special night and everybody will raise their level. It will be tough."

Here's how to watch the action live as the most successful team in FA Cup history begin their campaign in the competition.

Oxford vs. Arsenal confirmed lineups

Oxford head coach Karl Robinson did not initially call upon either of his two new defenders for a sold-out game that gave him the novelty of speaking to dozens of reporters, with millions likely to watch his players take on the 14-time FA Cup winners.

Hull City’s Brandon Fleming has moved to United on loan and 20-year-old centre-back Stephan Negru joined from League of Ireland Premier Division side Shelbourne at the start of the year, but neither newcomer made the starting lineup.

Both of Robinson's changes to his starting lineup came in attack, where Josh Murphy and Billy Bodin were reinstated.

Oxford lineup (4-3-3): McGinty (GK) – Anderson, Moore, Long, Brown – Bate, McGuane, Brannagan – Bodin, Taylor, Murphy

Arsenal had no new injury concerns following the goalless draw at home to Newcastle, from which Arteta made seven changes, with only Gabriel, Eddie Nketiah, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli retaining their starting places.

Emile Smith Rowe made his return from a long-term groin injury on the bench but Reiss Nelson remained out.

Arsenal lineup (4-3-3): Turner (GK) – Tierney, Gabriel, Holding, Tomiyasu – Sambi Lokonga, Elneny, Vieira – Martinelli, Nketiah, Saka

Oxford vs. Arsenal betting odds

Arteta apologised for Arsenal's defeat at this stage of the FA Cup at Nottingham Forest last season, and the determination he will undoubtedly feel to avoid an even greater embarrassment this time should see Arsenal justify their status with bookmakers as huge favourites.

Oxford, who thrashed fellow third-tier side Exeter City in the second round, have been knocked out in seven of their last eight FA Cup ties against Premier League teams.

A draw would be an excellent result for the hosts, guaranteeing a lucrative replay at Emirates Stadium – but it would be a headache for Arsenal, who already face Tottenham Hotspur away, Manchester United at home and a potential fourth-round tie at City during the remainder of January.
