  2. Sutton's predictions: Arsenal v Wigan Athleticpublished at 09:03 GMT 15 February

    This is the first meeting between these two clubs since the 2014 FA Cup semi-final, when Arsenal won on penalties and Mikel Arteta scored in a shootout. The Gunners went on to beat Hull City in the final.

    Things have changed a lot for Wigan since then and not in a good way.

    They have just sacked their manager Ryan Lowe after sliding into the League One relegation zone and it's hard to see them forcing a shootout this time, no matter how many changes Arteta makes.

    Arsenal have not had much joy in the FA Cup since Arteta won it again as manager in 2019-20, a few months after taking charge.

    They have not been past round four since, but they are going to make it to the last 16 this time, I'm sure of it.

    In fact, they have got so much strength in depth now that, while for years Arteta has not been able to win anything at all, he could feasibly win four trophies this season.

    Is the quadruple on? That could be the question we are asking in the final few months of the season.

    Sutton's prediction: 3-0

    A new initiative highlighting the work of football club charities has been launched by the English Football League (EFL).

    'Scan to Smile' will be rolled out in stadiums across the EFL from Friday until the end of January, with supporters invited to scan QR codes on posters displayed around grounds.

    Each scan will unlock a short, uplifting story from a person whose life has been positively impacted by the support of their local club charity.

    The subjects tackled include mental health support, combating loneliness, improving physical wellbeing, employability and confidence.

    The EFL said it hoped the initiative would use "the reach and influence of football to offer fans a moment of positivity on matchday".

    Trevor Birch, chief executive at the EFL, said: "Behind every club are people whose lives have been positively changed through the work and dedication of their local EFL club charity.

    "This initiative gives supporters the chance to see that impact first-hand and reminds us that football truly is a force for good."
