Arsenal kick-start their FA Cup campaign away to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Arsenal have won the most FA Cup trophies
Arsenal will begin their search for a record-extending 15th FA Cup with a trip to Nottingham Forest in the third round on Sunday evening.
The Gunners suffered a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City on New Year’s day and felt they were robbed of a win in what was a controversial game.
Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate the team in preparations for the EFL Cup semifinal against Liverpool. The first leg was initially supposed to take place on January 6 at the Emirates stadium and the second leg on January 13 at Anfield however, Arsenal’s home tie was postponed to January 20 upon Liverpool’s request.
Arsenal will be without Thomas Partey, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mohamed Elneny and Nicolas Pepe as they are away on AFCON duty while Gabriel is suspended.
Leno; Cedric, Holding, Mari, Tavares; Lokonga, Patino; Omari Hutchinson, Smith Rowe, Martinelli; Nketiah.

Arsenal have been eliminated at the third round stage of the FA Cup just once in the last 25 seasons, though that one defeat did come away to Nottingham Forest in 2017-18.
