Sparkles will be flying when Arsenal and Manchester United face each other in a highly-anticipated FA Cup game. The Gunners have slim chances of winning the Premier League trophy, meaning that they are eager to go all the way in the FA Cup. Both Jorginho and Gabriel Jesus are in line for a recall as Mikel Arteta is expected to make changes to the team that suffered a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United in the EFL Cup semis. All Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White, Bukayo Saka, and Ethan Nwaneri remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Red Devils did well to hold Liverpool to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League derby, but they are still seen as underdogs in the FA Cup clash with Arsenal. Given Man Utd’s four-game losing run at Emirates Stadium, we predict that the hosts are going to advance to the FA Cup round 4. Joshua Zirkzee is pushing for a start, while all Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Marcus Rashford remain in the treatment room.
Score Prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester United
