There will be electricity in the air this Sunday at the Emirates Stadium for this poster between Arsenal and Manchester United counting for the third round of the FA Cup (kick-off at 4 p.m.). This shock will have a particular flavor for multiple reasons. The FA Cup already has a particular prestige on the other side of the Channel. An Arsenal-MU is an awakening to some sweet memories of the 1990s and 2000s, when these two institutions collected Premier League titles, too.
And then if Arsenal approaches this match with the status of legitimate favorite, Manchester United, who have collected disappointments, have also demonstrated their ability to surpass themselves when they have to face a big name. Ruben Amorim’s team is more comfortable thwarting an opponent’s plans than imposing its own. His draw in the England derby against Liverpool attested to this (2-2).
The expected compositions
Arsenal : Neto; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Calafiori; Rice, Merino, Odegaard; Sterling, Jesus, Martinelli.
Manchester United : Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Amad, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot; Fernandes, Garnacho; Zirkzee.
