The Emirates FA Cup is continuing to create some special moments for Callum Wright while on loan to Wigan Athletic from Plymouth Argyle.
Last season, the 25-year-old played for the Pilgrims in their superb FA run last season, winning 1-0 at Brentford and then causing a stunning upset by beating Liverpool 1-0 at Home Park before losing 3-1 away to Manchester City.
Wright started for Argyle in all of those matches and it has been the same story for him this term at Wigan, who won on penalties at home to Hemel Hempstead and League Two side Barrow before beating Championship club Preston North End 1-0 in the third round at Deepdale on January 10.

They have been rewarded with a fourth round glamour tie against Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on February 15, so the FA Cup is proving to be very lucky to Wright.
The attacking midfielder has made a total of 25 starts and four substitute appearances for Ryan Lowe's Wigan, who lost 1-0 at home to Steven Schumacher's Bolton Wanderers in League One on Saturday, and Wright has scored four goals.
There has also been FA Cup excitement for Nathanael Ogbeta, who is on a season-long to Barnsley from Argyle.
The 24-year-old made his comeback after more than a month out injured when he started for Barnsley in their FA Cup third round clash against Liverpool at Anfield last Monday.
Ogbeta played for the first 73 minutes before he was substituted, at which stage Conor Hourihane's Barnsley were only trailing 2-1 at the time.
The left-back retained his place in the starting line-up for Barnsley's 2-1 home League One win against Blackpool on Saturday.
Overall, Ogbeta has made 18 starts and four substitute appearances for the South Yorkshire club and, as is the same situation with Wright, his Argyle contract ends this summer.
Meanwhile, Argyle goalkeeper Zak Baker went straight into Plymouth Parkway's team after joining them on a three-month loan as they won 2-1 away to Uxbridge on Saturday.
It was a result which ended a four-game losing run for Parkway in the Southern League Premier Division but they remain in the relegation zone.
Baker, 21, will be back in action with Parkway when they take on Wimborne Town at Bolitho Park in their next league fixture on Tuesday night.
