The stats show only two clubs in the history of the FA Cup have won it at least 13 times and the two teams meet in this third round tie.

The match between Arsenal and Manchester United will be played on the 12th of January at the Emirates Stadium.

The hosts have won the FA Cup 14 times in their history, while the visitors have lifted the trophy 13 times.

Arsenal come into the game on the back of a disappointing 2-0 home loss against Newcastle United in the semi-final of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.

Arsenal conceded the opening goal in the 31st minute to trail 1-0 at halftime and conceded a second goal just 6 minutes into the second half.

The defeat to Newcastle United was the first loss for Arsenal in 14 fixtures in all competitions. There have been wins over Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, and Ipswich Town at home plus West Ham United, Crystal Palace, and Brentford away in the Premier League.

Arsenal also beat Sporting Lisbon away and Monaco at home in the Champions League plus Crystal Palace at home in the EFL Cup.

Trends show Arsenal have won only 1 of their last 5 matches in the FA Cup. However, they are undefeated in 3 of their 4 most recent home FA Cup games and have kept a clean sheet in each of those 3 victories.

Manchester United make the trip to London having picked up a point in the Premier League thanks to a 2-2 draw at Liverpool.

With the score 0-0 at halftime, Manchester United took the lead in the 52nd minute but conceded the equaliser 7 minutes later. The Red Devils were 2-1 down in the 70th minute but came back well to equalise in the 80th minute.

The draw at Liverpool means Manchester United have failed to win any of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions.

There have been defeats against Bournemouth and Newcastle United at home plus Wolverhampton Wanderers away. Manchester United also lost 4-3 at Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup.

Statistics show Manchester United have won each of their last 6 FA Cup matches and they are defending the FA Cup having won it last season. Manchester United have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 5 FA Cup games.

Team news and Arsenal are without Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri, Reiss Nelson, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Ben White due to injury. Jurrien Timber is suspended.

Manchester United travel with doubts over the fitness of Marcus Rashford, Victor Lindelof, Mason Mount, and Luke Shaw.

Manchester United will come into this match with more confidence following the draw at Liverpool but teams form show Arsenal have won 5 of their last 6 meetings with Manchester United in all competitions.

We predict another difficult trip to the Emirates Stadium for Manchester United and Arsenal could come out on top, keeping a clean sheet in the process.
