FULL TIME! ARSENAL 4-0 WIGAN

The Gunners cruise into the fifth round and keep alive their quadruple hopes.

Into added time now.

Arsenal make another change with  Tommy Setford coming on for Kepa with less than five minutes to go.

It doesn't look like an injury so the 19-year-old is just getting some game time it appears.

It's been that easy a day for the Gunners.

Ben White goes down and is coming off for Martin Zubimendi.

Arteta will be hoping it's nothing serious.

Just under 20 minutes left of Wigan's FA Cup campaign.

At least they haven't conceded in this half.

How Eberechi Eze could do with adding a goal to his brace of assists.

He's hit the side netting after gliding past a few Wigan defenders.

Plenty of time left for him to net.

What a moment for 16-year-old Marli Salmon.

Viktor Gyökeres came on for Saka at half-time and he almost has himself a goal.

The angle was tight but the Swede got his shot away, hitting the woodwork.

We're back underway and it's more of the same.

Arsenal totally dominant and it's really just a question of how many they might score here.

HALF TIME!

4-0 to the Arsenal at the break.

Ruthless.

Martinelli's remarkable cup run goes on.

He's scored just once in the league this season but now has 10 across the Champions League and two domestic cups.

The Wigan fans are at least laughing at their plight, dropping a few Oles as they have a tiny bit of possession.

GOAL! IT'S FOUR!

Gabriel Jesus gets in on the act with a lovely lofted finish over Wigan keeper Sam Tickle.

Cracking ball from Christian Nørgaard to find the Brazilian.

GOAL! 3-0!

Arsenal score again but this time it's Wigan defender Jack Hunt who heads into his own net trying to block a Saka cross.

This could very quickly get out of hand.

GOAL! ARSENAL DOUBLE THEIR LEAD!

And that should be game over inside 20 minutes.

Eze is again the provider, playing in Martinelli who finishes brilliantly into the far corner.

Wigan are really struggling to build anything in this game.

It's crucial they don't concede in the next 15 minutes.

That's three in five for Madueke, who is coming into form after a very lean patch in front of goal.

GOAL! ARSENAL LEAD!

Wigan's resistance lasted just 11 minutes.

Eberechi Eze - who needs a big game - plays a brilliant ball into Madueke.

The England winger steadies himself before coolly finishing.

Saka is playing centrally here with Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke either side of him and Gabriel Jesus up top.

Eberechi Eze is a bit deeper in a very attacking Arsenal lineup.

They've started decently here but Wigan are holding firm.

Riccardo Calafiori pulled up late in the warm up in a big blow for Mikel Arteta.

Bukayo Saka starts in his place with Myles Lewis-Skelly dropping to left back.

KICK OFF!

And we're off.

Five minutes to go until kick off at the Emirates.
