With the Gunners having capitulated to Olympiacos in the Europa League last week, this FA Cup fifth round clash has now gained significance for Mikel Arteta's side – don't miss a kick with our Portsmouth vs Arsenal live stream guide.
Pompey are very much in the mix for promotion from League One, couple their good form with the intimidating old school charm of Fratton Park, plus Arsenal's surprise exit from Europe and you have the recipe for a potential FA Cup shock.
Arsenal boss Arteta would likely have taken the opportunity to rotate his squad for tonight's game, but with the FA Cup now providing Arsenal's only chance of silverware this year, the Premier League side will likely field a more familiar line up. The one exception could be the introduction of Pablo Mari. With Sead Kolasinac (shoulder), Kieran Tierney (shoulder) and Cedric Soares (knee) all out injured, the Spanish loan star could finally make his debut in defence.
Pompey's record against Arsenal is lean to say the least. The south coast side have failed to beat Arsenal in any competition since a 5-4 league victory all the way back in March 1958, having draw eight and losing 13 since then. They come into the match off the back of a convincing 3- 0 win over Rochdale, but it was a victory that came at a cost, with captain Tom Naylor and winger Ronan Curtis set to face late fitness tests ahead of tonight's match after picking up knocks in the win.
Arsenal are clear favourites and will want to ensure last Thursday's humiliation was a blip, but the rowdy atmosphere at Fratton Park may well play a part in a fixture that could provide an unexpected FA Cup result.
