Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the latest player to challenge online gaming legend KSI in a game of FIFA 14 on the Sony Playstation.

We wanted to see if the Ox’s virtual football skills are as good as his actual ones as he faced KSI, a household name to FIFA lovers with over 3 million subscribers to his You Tube channel and more than 700 million views.

This unique collaboration between a broadcaster, a footballer and a YouTube sensation received a huge build up on social media via the hashtags #KSIvOX #teamOx #teamKSI.

Oxlade-Chamberlain told BT Sport: "He (KSI) lost 6-1 to Manuel frimpong the other day and Frimpong has never beaten me; so just putting it out there!”

KSI commented: “I am used to playing people from all over the world but its been great to play with a professional footballer such as the Ox.

"I hear that a lot of the footy lads have banter about FIFA skills, apparently they play it a lot in down time and on tours, so I was keen to see what Alex had in his locker. Personally I think he should stick to the real game and leave FIFA to me!”

The match-up was filmed exclusively for BT Sport with a feature on the head-to-head to be aired on Saturday before live coverage of Crystal Palace vs Arsenal game.
