Arsenal host defending champions Manchester United in the marquee clash of the 2024/25 FA Cup third round.

Twenty Premier League clubs and 24 Premiership clubs have now joined the fray after lower-league sides battled it out in the first two rounds.

The lowest-ranked team left in the competition is Tamworth FC, who compete in the National League — the fifth tier of the English football structure. They will take on Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, in a classic David vs. Goliath contest that sets this tournament apart.
