The two most successful clubs in FA Cup history collide in a blockbuster third-round encounter on Sunday afternoon, as Arsenal host defending champions Manchester United at the Emirates.

Arsenal:

Arsenal will be looking to overcome their recent FA Cup frustrations when they face Manchester United in a heavyweight third-round clash at the Emirates. After their last triumph in 2020, the Gunners have suffered a series of early exits, including a third-round defeat to Liverpool last season. Coming off two consecutive home defeats, Arsenal are eager to bounce back and add a 15th FA Cup title to their prestigious collection. Mikel Arteta's side has a strong record against defending FA Cup champions, winning their last six such encounters, and they will be motivated to maintain that trend.


Manchester United:

Manchester United travel to North London to defend the FA Cup they clinched last season. However, recent form has been anything but inspiring, with the Red Devils winless in five matches and conceding freely. Ruben Amorim’s men have struggled to find stability, but they will draw confidence from their recent draw against Liverpool, where they fought back to secure a point. United have an impressive FA Cup record, having advanced in 9 of their last 10 third-round ties, and they’ll be hoping to replicate their 3-1 win over Arsenal in 2019. But with defensive frailties and a winless streak, this tie could be a challenge for the holders.
