Is Arsenal vs Manchester United on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch FA Cup fixture | OneFootball

Arsenal host Manchester United at the Emirates today in the pick of the ties from the third round of the FA Cup.

Mikel Arteta’s side are looking to bounce back from the disappointment of a 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final in midweek, and they are offered the perfect chance to do so at home to an old rival in their first FA Cup match of the season.

United are in buoyant mood after an impressive display in their draw away at Liverpool last weekend, but it remains to be seen if they can carry that bit of momentum and avoid going out of the competition at the first hurdle.

United famously beat both Liverpool and Manchester City on the way to lifting the trophy last season, but they could become one of the first holders this century to go out in the third round if they lose in the capital.

Team news

Arsenal have no new injury concerns after the defeat to Newcastle, though Ethan Nwaneri remains sidelined alongside long-term absentees Ben White and Bukayo Saka. Takehiro Tomiyasu is nearing a return, but this match will likely come too soon for the Japan international.

It remains to be seen whether Arteta will change much to the starting eleven, with the Spaniard likely to retain a similar side to the one that lost to Newcastle as he tries to balance a title chase with some cup success.

Riccardo Calafiori could make a return left-back, while Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko will also be hopeful of making a start.

Either of Jorginho or Mikel Merino could come in for Thomas Partey in midfield, while both Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus could start upfront or on the wings.

Ruben Amorim insisted he will not prioritise the Premier League over the FA Cup and plans to field his strongest Manchester United side for their third-round clash at Arsenal.

While Amorim confirmed Altay Bayindir would replace Andre Onana in goal for Sunday’s blockbuster clash at the Emirates Stadium, the Portuguese wants to build on last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Victor Lindelof remain sidelined, and Marcus Rashford will likely be out of the squad as he reportedly looks for a move away.

Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Trossard, Havertz, Martinelli.

Man Utd XI: Bayindir; de Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Diallo, Fernandes; Hojlund.
