Brighton & Hove and the Arsenal Gunners are playing live on the FA Cup Fourth Round schedule on Sunday and the match from American Express Community Stadium is on Fox Sports 2 and streaming from the Fox Soccer 2Go website online as Arsene Wenger and Alexis Sanchez come in looking to get through to the next round.
Danny Welbeck is out for Arsenal and midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain likely will be as well, while Wenger also will be missing Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere. Arsenal won this trophy last year and they would love to hang on to it and while they are the favored team here, they saw what happened to other EPL sides this past weekend. Brighton comes in at 19th in the Championship and six points above relegation, but Arsenal will not overlook them.
Manchester United and Liverpool pulled draws with lower competition, while Chelsea and Manchester City fell on Saturday. Arsenal played an FA Cup tie at Brighton before a couple years ago and the last time was a 3-2 win at the Amex and that actually was the only home defeat for the Seagulls in the last 12 matchups in this competition. Mesut Ozil and Theo Walcott should be good to go after dealing with injuries and Arsenal comes in knowing that Brighton has advanced to the fifth round in three of the last four years.
Arsenal has won the last four meetings in the FA Cup between these two teams and Arsenal comes in holding the Cup after winning against Hull City last year. Arsenal had that trophy in their sights for quite some time and now they have to get through Bolton. Bolton lost last year against Hull and they previously played this season in the League Cup, losing to Tottenham in the fourth round.
Arsenal comes in looking to get to another final and they have won 11 and they would like to add another one. The team comes in after a big win away against Man City and before that the team won over Stoke and Hull, which was in the FA Cup third round. The team lost against Southampton and won over West Ham before that and coming up the team plays Aston Villa, Tottenham and Crystal Palace coming up.
Arsenal is into the round of 16 in the Champions League after finishing fourth on the APL table last year and they will play Monaco to start the next stage when that comes up. Tottenham, Everton, QPR and West Ham are also on the schedule coming up. The team is fifth in the EPL standings and they will need to play better down the second half of the season to catch up to Chelsea and Manchester City.
