FA Cup: Sutton Predicts Results of Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Other Fixtures
Arsenal and Portsmouth face key absences with multiple players sidelined by injuries ahead of their FA Cup third-round clash, impacting team strategies and selections.
- On Sunday, January 11, 2026, Arsenal travel to Fratton Park for the FA Cup third-round tie, kicking off their campaign with a 2pm GMT match televised live on TNT Sports 1 from 1.30pm.
- Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed several absentees ahead of the cup tie, with Cristhian Mosquera sidelined by a 'complicated' ankle injury expected to return in coming weeks, Max Dowman out for weeks, Riccardo Calafiori doubtful with an 'awkward' injury, and Piero Hincapie newly injured.
- Colby Bishop is uncertain and up to nine first-team players, including Josh Knight and Marlon Pack, could miss as Portsmouth sit one point above Championship relegation after a 5-0 loss.
- Max Dowman's absence forces Arsenal to consider academy and fringe players like Marli Salmon, Viktor Gyokeres, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, Gabriel Jesus, and Ethan Nwaneri to keep FA Cup hopes alive.
- This cup meeting renews memories of Arsenal's previous FA Cup run, as Portsmouth have not bested Arsenal at Fratton Park since their last tie and Arsenal have lacked major silverware since.
