Arsenal welcome Manchester United to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, seeking to advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup. However, Ruben Amorim’s rejuvenated United side pose a significant threat, having recently secured an impressive result at Anfield.

The Gunners enter this contest with a few concerns. Unlike their opponents, they have had limited rest and are still reeling from a 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle. In contrast, Manchester United appear revitalized, having come from behind to earn a draw at Liverpool’s fortress.

 

From a visual standpoint, Sunday’s match will feature a unique twist. Arsenal will don their ‘No More Red’ white shirts, while Manchester United will wear their away kit.

Mikel Arteta’s pre-match press conference offered few updates on team news. However, several players have since recovered from illness and injury, providing the manager with a broader range of options.

Defenders: Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Oleksandr Zinchenko

 

Midfielders: Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka
