Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says they must not underestimate FA Cup opponents Oxford United.

Arteta has warned his players that despite facing a side sat in the bottom half of League One, they'll have to match the intensity of their opposite numbers on the field, as well as deal with the noise off it if they're to progress in a competition we're keen to lift for a record-extending 15th time.

Assessing the game, he said: “It's always tricky. I've played there a few times and have experienced very difficult matches, so it will be difficult. We have to take the competition and the opponent very seriously and play well, to a high level to win the match.

“It will be difficult. From what we've seen they've played in different ways, and result-wise as well they've had a bit of everything.

"It'll be a very special night and everybody will raise their level and it will be tough."
