Arsenal\u2019s 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<\/span><\/a> 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\u2019t won a game since their third-round win against Preston. It\u2019s difficult to see them causing a huge upset, even with the likely changes from Arteta. Here are the Arsenal vs Wigan confirmed lineups<\/span><\/a> and latest team news.<\/p>\n
