FA Cup glory helped to keep Arsene Wenger in a job last season, and the holders start the defence of their crown in 2018 with a trip to Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal are the most successful side in the competition’s grand history, with 13 triumphs to their name, lifting the famous trophy at Wembley in three of the last four campaigns.
The Gunners also have a Carabao Cup semi-final clash with London rivals Chelsea to come after taking on Forest, with domestic knockout football once again offering hope to Wenger’s side amid another failed attempt to force themselves into Premier League title contention.
