Arsenal attacker Walcott appreciates FA Cup meaning for small teams

Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott says he loves the traditions of the FA Cup.

Walcott appreciates the big teams visiting lower division sides.

He told BT Sport: "To me, being English it's been one of the traditions, I always used to watch with my Dad. I love the fact big clubs go to the lesser teams, no disrespect to them. And the fans get to see the premier players come to their grounds.

"A lot of fans always want the home matches but I quite like going away from home just for a different experience. It's nice that fans get to see us in the flesh and to show our stuff and you never know, maybe cause an upset at times."
