It is no longer news that Arsenal have not won a trophy in the last nine years, and that should be the drive as they face a side that has already beaten three Premier League teams including Man City to make the FA Cup Semi final.
Wigan are not doing badly on home front in the Championship having moved from fourteen to fifth position also with an impressive run of about 12 matches in the FA Cup.
It could be recalled that they (Wigan) are also defending champions in the tournament and would relish a chance to defend their title in the final with hopes of seeing off Arsenal to progress.
Without doubts, Arsenal are favourites in this tie but even the Gunners Manager, Arsene Wenger knows it's not a walk over owing to Wigan's antecedents.
Arsenal are currently 4th on the English Premier League table, about 10 points behind leaders Liverpool, but being pressured by Everton who may just overtake the Londoners if they continue with their unimpressive run. Beaten silly by Everton last weekend with very uninspiring performance from the team, slumped to Chelsea and Liverpool earlier....
Whether anyone likes it or not, Arsenal have lost the premier league title this season. Hope of a title as the manager puts it lies in the 4th place finish and not forgetting a result in the much coveted FA Cup which they last won about nine years ago after beating Manchester United 5-4 on penalties.
In fact, Arsenal are faced with a situation that even Wenger doesn't want to answer to, if the FA Cup or a 4th place finish. Anyway, time shall tell.
