The Gunners have won their last five away FA Cup matches in a row. The draw half-time/Arsenal full-time double result is 5.85/1.

This is the first FA Cup meeting between Arsenal and Southampton since the 2003 final, which the Gunners won 1-0 courtesy of a Robert Pires goal. Under 2.5 goals is 2.0621/20.
