What has been Blackpool and Arsenal's form ahead of this game?

Blackpool enters this game having lost three of their most recent five games. Their latest win came in their FA Cup clash against Solihull Moors. Two of their three recent defeats have come when playing at Bloomfield Road, and curiously, both of those games ended with a 1-0 score (against Barnsley and Sunderland).

After an impressive streak without a loss, Arsenal seems to have lost their mojo. The Gunners have been defeated in three of their last six outings, which include that 5-1 thumping against Liverpool. Their most recent game ended with a 4-1 win against Fulham, one of the worst teams in the 2018-19 Pemier League season.

How did Blackpool and Arsenal get to the Third Round of the FA Cup?

This will be Blackpool's fourth FA Cup game, which break down in two wins and one draw. The Seasiders won those two games with the same score (3-2), while their other match ended in a goalless draw. Joseph Dodoo is the team's top scorer in the competition with two goals.

This will be Arsenal's first game in the 2018-19 FA Cup. Last year, the Gunners were not able to make it past the Third Round, as Nottingham Forest shocked the team then-coached by Arsene Wenger with a 4-2 score.
