Oxford relish tilt at Arsenal
They go to Premiership champions Arsenal in next month's third round and Atkins hopes the draw will capture his supporters' imagination.
He said: ''It's great for the city and for the supporters. We will take 10,000-plus to the champions and it will be great for the younger players. They rarely get the opportunity to be on live television and they rarely get the opportunity to play against Premiership opposition. ''It's one you wouldn't expect us to win but we'll go there and give it our best shot.''
