Arsenal v Aston Villa :Head to head

• These clubs have met 182 times; Arsenal have won 73, Aston Villa 65, with 44 drawn.
• Villa have already lost 2-1 to Arsenal in the Premier League at Villa Park this term, but won last season's trip to the Emirates Stadium 2-1.
• This is the 10th time these clubs have been drawn to meet in the FA Cup; Arsenal lead by six wins to three, with the most recent in the 1983 quarter-finals.
Arsenal
• Arsenal are the second most successful club in FA Cup history, having won the competition 10 times (one fewer than Manchester United), and been runners-up on seven occasions. In the six seasons since winning the cup in 2006, they have failed to make the fifth round twice.
• Arsene Wenger's side have lost their two FA Cup ties against top-flight clubs, and three of the last four - all away from home.
• The Gunners have won their last three ties in front of the home supporters, and have not lost in 32, since a 1-0 reverse to Leeds in the fourth round in February 1997.
Aston Villa
• Manchester United, Arsenal and Spurs are the only clubs to have won the FA Cup more times than Aston Villa's seven, but the most recent of those was in 1957.
• Villa are looking for a spot in the last 16 for the fourth season running.
• Alex McLeish's team are seeking a seventh successive away game without defeat in league and cup.
