Arsenal F.C. vs Manchester United F.C. Stats Ahead Of Sunday’s 3pm FA Cup Clash
One of the biggest teams in England will crash out of the FA Cup on Sunday as Arsenal host rivals Manchester United.
It headlines a blockbuster round of ties, with the potential for upsets in several fixtures where Premier League sides face lower league opposition.
Manchester United’s form this season means that a win over Arsenal would be considered a slight upset.
The Red Devils though will look to take the positives from an improved performance in their 2-2 draw at Liverpool.
Arsenal gave themselves a huge up-hill task in the Carabao Cup by losing the first-leg of their semi-final with Newcastle 2-0 at home. Their week could get worse if they crash out of this tournament.
Mikel Arteta’s Side Expected To Advance
Manchester United are expected to crash out of the FA Cup according to the best football betting sites in the UK.
At the time of writing with odds subject to change, Arsenal are 8/11 favourites to win, with a Manchester United victory at 4/1 and a draw at 5/2 which would see the game go to extra time and penalties if required.

Arsenal Handed Ruben Amorim His First Defeat
These two sides met in the Premier League a little more than a month ago. That contest saw Arsenal hand Manchester United their first defeat under Ruben Amorim.
The Gunners showed their prowess from set-piece situations with Jurrien Timber and William Saliba scoring from corners in a 2-0 triumph.
Manchester United would then go on to suffer defeat in four of their five remaining Premier League games in December.
The draw against Liverpool on Sunday though is something Amorim will hope his side can build from.

Legendary Arsenal vs Manchester United FA Cup Clash
Whenever these two sides meet in the FA Cup memories instantly hark back to the famous semi-final replay at Villa Park in 1999.
The game is often described as one of Manchester United’s greatest ever. It would lead to the club completing their famous Treble which also included the Premier League and Champions League.
After a goalless draw in the original game, the replay produced a classic.
David Beckham scored an early goal for Manchester United before Dennis Bergkamp equalised in the second-half.
Things went from bad to worse for United as Roy Keane got a second yellow card before Phil Neville gave away a penalty.
Bergkamp’s penalty was saved by Peter Schmeichel taking the game to extra-time where Ryan Giggs scored the best goal of his career.
The Welshman dribbled past five Arsenal players before scoring to send United into the final.
