Our prediction for this FA Cup match:
Sparkles will be flying when Arsenal and Manchester United face each other in a highly-anticipated FA Cup game. The Gunners have slim chances of winning the Premier League trophy, meaning that they are eager to go all the way in the FA Cup. Both Jorginho and Gabriel Jesus are in line for a recall as Mikel Arteta is expected to make changes to the team that suffered a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United in the EFL Cup semis. All Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White, Bukayo Saka, and Ethan Nwaneri remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Red Devils did well to hold Liverpool to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League derby, but they are still seen as underdogs in the FA Cup clash with Arsenal. Given Man Utd’s four-game losing run at Emirates Stadium, we predict that the hosts are going to advance to the FA Cup round 4. Joshua Zirkzee is pushing for a start, while all Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Marcus Rashford remain in the treatment room.

Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.

Highlighted Team (Arsenal):
Arsenal are regarded as one of the best English teams. The Gunners have won 12 FA Cup trophies, 13 league titles and two League Cups, but they have yet to lift the Champions League trophy. Arsene Wenger’s team were on the verge of beating Barcelona in the Champions League final back in 2006, but they eventually failed to win the prestigious title.
Arsenal used to play their homes at Highbury, but in 2006 they moved to the Emirates Stadium. The capacity of the stadium is 60,260. The Gunners won their last Premier League trophy back in 2004, with the capital club going through the season without a single loss. The likes of Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp and Robert Pires were part of the team back then, but Arsenal have not won the league trophy ever since.
Arsenal was founded by Woolwich munitions workers as Dial Square back in 1886. It is well known that Tottenham Hotspur are Arsenal’s fiercest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals meet in the North London derby.
