Arsenal vs Wigan prediction with expert betting tips and latest odds ahead of their FA Cup 2025/26 clash at the Emirates.
Arsenal received a reminder against Brentford that their quest for an unprecedented quadruple will be far from straightforward but the Gunners should be too strong for managerless Wigan in the FA Cup this weekend.
Mikel Arteta’s men were pegged back by the Bees in a 1-1 draw on Thursday night and are now just four points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
However, that is still a healthy advantage, while they are already through to the Carabao Cup final and boast a 100 per cent record in the Champions League.
Arsenal vs Wigan Prediction – FA Cup 2025/26
Wigan, in stark contrast, are in the midst of a League One relegation battle after winning just one of their last 12 fixtures.
Last weekend’s 6-1 defeat at Peterborough led to Ryan Lowe being sacked as manager, with Glenn Whelan and Graham Barrow in charge for Tuesday’s 2-1 home loss to Reading.
Arsenal are 1/16 to qualify in normal time, which we expect to happen, and don’t forget that BOYLE Sports’ Early Payout means you will be paid if your team goes two goals ahead at any point.
A more rewarding option could be a four-part Featured Bet Builder @ 14/5, which has Arsenal to be leading at half-time, Viktor Gyokeres to score at any time, there to be over 7.5 corners in total and over 3.5 home goals.

Team Form Guides
Arsenal Form Guide
The Gunners headed to Brentford chasing a fifth successive win and fourth successive clean sheet in all competitions, and both looked on the cards when Noni Madueke put them ahead on the hour.
However, the Bees levelled 10 minutes later through Keane Lewis-Potter and Arsenal could not respond.
Arteta said afterwards: “If you want to win here, you're going to have to be really ruthless in both boxes, and today we lacked that.”
Who Will Be The First Goalscorer In Arsenal vs Wigan? FA Cup 2025/26
Arsenal fans will be demanding better against Wigan and the likes of Bukayo Saka , Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard could be restored to the starting line-up.
Saka has not scored since early December but will be eager to end that barren spell and he is 7/2 to open the scoring. Jesus , meanwhile, is 11/20 to net any time.
Wigan Form Guide
Wigan will need to dig deep once again if they are to prolong a cup campaign which has already put their supporters through the wringer.
The 2013 FA Cup winners needed penalty shoot-outs to defeat lower-league sides Hemel and Barrow before edging past Preston with a 75th-minute winner in the third round.
Those victories may have tested the nerves but they at least provided some respite to a miserable League One campaign, with the club currently 22nd in the standings having earned only two points from a possible 24 since the start of the year.
Joe Taylor has scored in three of Wigan’s last five goals, taking the on-loan striker’s tally for the season into double figures for Athletic and parent club Huddersfield, and the 23-year-old is 13/2 to net again at the Emirates.
And if you think Wigan can breach Arsenal’s well-drilled defence, then a home win with BTTS @ 2/1 could be for you, while an away victory is 33/1 if you anticipate a major upset.
