For the third time in as many seasons, Arsenal have suffered an early FA Cup exit.
Despite a good showing at the Etihad Stadium, admittedly with a largely rotated side, Friday night's defeat at the hands of Manchester City means the Gunners have not progressed to round five of the competition since they lifted the trophy during the 2019/2020 campaign.
Ironically all three losses have been by the same 1-0 scoreline and away from home as this latest setback follows on from being knocked out by then-Championship outfit Nottingham Forest last season and the fourth-round defeat against Southampton just over two years ago.
