Defending champions Manchester United are set for a blockbuster showdown against Arsenal on Sunday in the FA Cup third round.
The Gunners are the competition’s most decorated team, with 14 titles. However, they come into the match on the back of a bruising 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup.
In their last outing, United snapped their four-match losing streak with a resilient 2-2 draw with Premier League leaders and bitter rivals Liverpool.

Here’s how to watch this FA Cup match in UK:
TV channel: BBC One
Live stream: BBC Sports Web, BBC iPlayer
This game is available for live TV broadcast on BBC One in the UK. Streaming options are available on BBC Sports Web and BBC iPlayer.
This FA Cup clash takes place at the Emirates Stadium in London, England and kicks off on Sunday, January 12 at 3 p.m. local time.
Arsenal will still be without Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri and Ben White, while Takehiro Tomiyasu has an outside chance of being included in the matchday squad after returning to basic training.
Mikel Arteta may be tempted to make one or two changes from the Carabao Cup loss to Newcastle this week. Gabriel Jesus could come in for Kai Havertz, while fit-again Raheem Sterling could get the chance to stake a claim for a regular starting spot in place of Leandro Trossard.
Riccardo Calafiori could also come in for youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori — Odegaard, Partey, Rice — Sterling, Jesus, Martinelli.
Injured: Saka (hamstring), White (knee), Nwaneri (muscle), Tomiyasu (knee, doubt)
Suspended: None
Amorim has made a habit of rotating his starting lineup at United, but given the improved performance at Anfield, he could well limit the changes for this weekend.
Mason Mount and Luke Shaw are still recovering from injury, while Victor Lindelof is also expected to be out. Marcus Rashford missed the Liverpool game with illness, but with talks ongoing over a possible move away, he is highly unlikely to be involved anyway.
Leny Yoro could be given a chance from the start at the back, likely in place of Matthijs de Ligt.
Amorim this week introduced four United youngsters to first-team training sessions, and any of Jack Moorhouse, Tyler Fredricson, Godwill Kukonki and Elyh Harrison could make the matchday squad.
Man United predicted XI (3-4-2-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Yoro, Maguire, Martinez — Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot — Amad Diallo, Fernandes — Hojlund.
Injured: Mount (muscle), Shaw (undisc.), Lindelof (knock, doubt), Rashford (illness, doubt)
Suspended: None
