Arsenal’s 2025/26 season looks set to be a memorable one, with the club fighting for all available trophies. On February 15, they take on Wigan in the FA Cup fourth round at the Emirates Stadium. In the previous round, the Gunners faced Portsmouth and, despite conceding an early goal, went on to win the game 4-1. Mikel Arteta will likely make several changes from the 1-1 draw at Brentford. Wigan are struggling in League 1, and haven’t won a game since their third-round win against Preston. It’s difficult to see them causing a huge upset, even with the likely changes from Arteta. Here are the Arsenal vs Wigan confirmed lineups and latest team news.
