- This is the eighth time Arsenal and Middlesbrough have been drawn together in the FA Cup, with Arsenal winning five of the previous seven (once after a replay) and Middlesbrough two.
- Middlesbrough have won just two of their last 12 FA Cup matches against top flight opponents (W2 D3 L7).
- Middlesbrough’s last four FA Cup matches have all ended with a 2-0 scoreline in favour of the away team (two won, two lost).

Patrick Bamford has scored three goals in his last four appearances, including the opener in Middlesbrough’s FA Cup fourth-round win at Manchester City. The Chelsea loanee has claimed plenty of goals in his previous spells away from Stamford Bridge, so Arsenal will have to monitor the 21-year-old carefully.
