Teams and line-ups confirmed for 2025/26 FA Cup fourth round

Arsenal have confirmed their starting line-up against Wigan Athletic

Centre-back William Saliba missed the 1-1 draw at Brentford on Thursday due to illness, but returns this time for Arsenal.

Kepa Arrizabalaga continues his career in goals in the FA Cup in place of David Raya. Defender Cristhian Mosquera retains his place, as do Noni Madueke, who scored against the Bees, and Eberechi Eze, who made way for Martin Odegaard at half-time in this match.

Midfielder Odegaard was treated after the Brentford goal and is not in the squad. Jurrien Timber also gives up completely, having started three days ago.

Striker Kai Havertz remains sidelined with a muscle problem, while Bukayo Saka is still on the bench as the inspirational winger continues his return from injury.

Arsenal starting lineup: Kepa; White, Mosquera, Saliba, Calafiori; Eze, Norgaard, Lewis-Skelly; Madueke, Jesus, Martinelli

Arsenal substitutes: Hincapie, Gabriel, Saka, Gyökeres, Trossard, Setford, Zubimendi, Rice, Salmon

Wigan Athletic's full squad against Arsenal

Midfielder Baba Adeeko, left-back Luke Robinson, centre-back James Carragher and striker Harry McHugh are injured for Wigan, who make three changes from their 2-1 home defeat to Reading on Tuesday.

Captain Jason Kerr made his first appearance in two months against the Royals.

Wigan Athletic starting XI: Tickle; Fox, Aimson, Kerr; Hunt, Weir, Moxon, Murray; Raphael, Wright; Taylor
