Arsenal play host to Premier League rivals Manchester United in the Third Round of the FA Cup.
Mikel Arteta is looking to secure a trophy this season, with the Spanish boss securing the 2020 FA Cup as his sole piece of silverware as Gunners head coach, with their EPL title charge faltering at the start of 2025.
However, they face a clash with the defending champions, after Erik ten Hag sealed a shock win over Manchester City in the 2024 final.
Arteta has already beaten Ruben Amorim once this season, via a 2-0 home league victory back in December, with the latter facing his first test in the FA Cup.

Arsenal vs. Man United lineups, team news
Arsenal are still without Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri and Ben White, but Takehiro Tomiyasu has a chance of being involved.
Arteta may be tempted to make one or two changes from the Carabao Cup loss to Newcastle in midweek. Gabriel Jesus could replace Kai Havertz, while fit-again Raheem Sterling have a chance to stake a claim for a regular starting spot in place of Leandro Trossard.

Amorim has made a habit of rotating his starting lineup at United, but given the improved performance at Anfield, he could limit the changes.
Mason Mount and Luke Shaw are still recovering from injury, while Victor Lindelof is expected to be out. Marcus Rashford missed the Liverpool game with illness, but with talks ongoing over a possible exit, he is unlikely to be involved.
Leny Yoro could be given a chance from the start at the back, likely in place of Matthijs de Ligt.
