Arsenal begins its FA Cup campaign on Sunday with a trip to Fratton Park to face a Portsmouth team\u00a0seeking a welcome distraction from its struggles in the Championship.<\/p>\n
The Gunners’ dogged goalless draw at Anfield earlier this week has left them six points clear at the top of the English Premier League. While Mikel Arteta will understandably prioritize the club’s title challenge, the Arsenal boss will likely also be keen to banish the memories of last season’s early third-round exit in this competition, when his team was knocked out on penalties by a 10-man Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Standing in the way of Arsenal’s progress to the last 32 is a Portsmouth team currently teetering just one point above the relegation zone in 21st place in the Championship. Last week’s stinging 5-0 defeat at Bristol City was far from ideal preparation for a meeting with the top flight’s leading team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Portsmouth takes on Arsenal at Fratton Park on\u00a0Sunday, Jan. 11. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. GMT\u00a0local time in the UK, which is 9\u00a0a.m. ET or 6 a.m. PT\u00a0in the US and Canada, and\u00a01 a.m. AEDT\u00a0in Australia early on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
