With the World Cup the centre of attention for most footballing supporters, they can be forgiven for forgetting it's also FA Cup weekend.
Of course, Arsenal and the other 19 Premier League teams don't enter the competition until January. However, they'll be keeping an eye on how things unfold on Saturday and Sunday as their third-round opponents will be revealed when the draw is made at Anfield - home of holders Liverpool - on Monday.
Ahead of the draw, ball numbers for the teams involved have been confirmed with the Gunners at No.2 behind AFC Bournemouth. Now, the other numbers of interest to the north London outfit are 4, 6, 18, 33, 35, 36, 49, 50 and 61 as they all involve this season's loan army.
