One of the Premier League’s big guns will be exiting the FA Cup early as Arsenal hosts Manchester United in an all-star third round tie.
The visitors are defending the trophy they won last season, although they couldn’t have been given a much more difficult start to their cup journey this year as they take on an Arsenal side still in the hunt in four competitions.
Arsenal are of course Liverpool’s closest challengers in the Premier League, although their hopes of silverware this season took a huge blow in midweek after they lost the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final 2-0 to Newcastle, with the return leg at St James’ Park still to come.
