The Championship side were pitted against the Gunners in the third round of the FA Cup.
“It’s a fantastic draw,” he told the club’s official website. “Arsenal are one of the best teams in the country and are one of the top footballing teams in Europe.
“I’m sure our supporters will look forward to the game and will sell the full allocation once again.
“It’s amazing when you look at the draws we’ve had and the performances and the support we’ve had.
“In an 18-month period, we’ve played Liverpool, Man U, Tottenham, and now Arsenal in the cups which is fantastic for the club and the fans.
“But as I said before the Man U game last season, we have a lot of league games to come before then and that is our focus.
“The players will all want to be involved for the Arsenal game and the league games are so important to us.”
