Two of the FA Cup’s most successful clubs, Arsenal and Manchester United, square off in a blockbuster third-round encounter at the Emirates on Sunday.
The Gunners, with 14 titles, host the defending champions, who boast 13 triumphs, in a match rich in history and stakes.
🔴Arsenal Seek FA Cup Revival at Home | Home Win = 1.75💵
Arsenal comes into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the EFL Cup in a game that saw the Gunners lose for the first since their defeat to Inter Milan in the UCL, 15 games ago.
That slip aside, the Gunners remain a force at the Emirates, where they were unbeaten in their last 20 games there in all competitions, a run going back to last season.
Mikel Arteta’s side will look to put that Newcastle result behind them quickly and try to rediscover the form that made them so formidable at home where they beat Manchester United themselves in the EPL 2-0.
🔵Man United Aim to Get Sweet Revenge on Arsenal | Away Win = 5.35💵
Manchester United come into this contest following a morale-boosting 2-2 draw at Anfield, in a game everyone all but ruled them out, and with their morale so high, one can expect them to try and ride on that wave to try and avenge their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the league.
Although United’s recent form is concerning, with no wins in their last five games. The Red Devils’ FA Cup credentials remain strong, however, having won their last six matches in the competition, including their 2023 triumph.
Ruben Amorim’s men have struggled defensively, conceding at least two goals in each of their last five outings, but they’ll hope they can out-score an Arsenal side struggling to score at the moment.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Arsenal are without Bukayo Saka, Ben White, and Takehiro Tomiyasu due to injuries, while Gabriel Jesus is expected to lead the line. Mikel Arteta may also rotate with Calafiori and Jesus likely to feature.
For United, Marcus Rashford, heavily linked with a departure, may miss out along with Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw who remain doubts due to injury. Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Højlund are expected to spearhead their attacking charge.
