A couple of exciting clashes are about to unfold in the FA Cup Round 3 as Liverpool are set to face Arsenal while Newcastle United will go up against their arch-rival Sunderland. Arsenal, the most successful team in the oldest cup competition in the world with a record 14 titles will face a tough challenge against Liverpool to proceed into the next round. On the other hand, Newcastle United will go up against neighbours from the Championship, Sunderland which promises to be a fierce competition. Both teams will face each other for the first time in competition since 2016.
Manchester United who ended up losing against Newcastle in the Premier League have earned a draw away in a domestic cup tie for the first time since 2021. They will go up against the League One side and 2013 FA Cup winners Wigan.
United’s only domestic cup matches to be played away from home in the last three years were in a two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest and last season’s FA Cup semi-final as well as the final in both competitions at Wembley.
Title defenders Manchester City will square off against Championship side Huddersfield in their home stadium, while Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea will also play at their home against Preston.
