Gunners looking for response after Newcastle defeat
Arsenal begin their FA Cup campaign with a heavyweight third-round clash against Manchester United.
The Gunners were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday and are looking for a response.
United, meanwhile, are looking to build on their performance in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool.
Manager Ruben Amorim was angry his team haven’t shown that kind of level during his tenure until such a big game emerges.
Sunday’s meeting should offer the same kind of inspiration, although it remains to be seen if the Red Devils can string coherent performances together.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

The Emirates Stadium in London will host.

United are without Mason Mount and Luke Shaw. Marcus Rashford missed the Liverpool game through illness but is not expected to feature here amid doubts about his future at the club.
Arsenal looked rather blunt against Newcastle but United cannot be replied upon. With that in mind, the Gunners look slight favourites at this stage.
Arsenal to win, 2-1.
Arsenal FC wins: 90
Draws: 50
Man Utd wins: 101
Arsenal to win: 8/13
