Arsenal vs Manchester United Will Clash In The FA Cup Third Round
There are two all-Premier League FA Cup third round clashes – with Aston Villa hosting West Ham, but the standout match is surely holders Manchester United travelling to the Emirates to face Arsenal.
It’s also the winning-most FA Cup team – Arsenal (14) – taking on the second winning-most team – Man Utd (13) – in what was a repeat of the 2005 final, that the Gunners won 5-4 on penalties.
Who Won The FA Cup Last Season?
The 2024 FA Cup Final was an all- Manchester affair as Manchester City took on bitter rivals Manchester United.
Despite City being the big favourites with the best football betting sites in the UK, it was United that won the game 2-1.

This FA Cup win for Manchester United was 13th in total and are now just one away from the record FA Cup winners Arsenal, who have won the cup 14 times.
