Lineup
Pre-match information
Arsenal and Man United are currently the two teams with the best record in the FA Cup. The Gunners have won 14 titles, most recently in the 2019-2020 season.
That was also coach Mikel Arteta's first season. But since then, Arsenal have failed to reach the round of 5 for all 4 following seasons. Over the past 5 years, the Gunners have not won any more major titles.
Meanwhile, Man United have a total of 13 FA Cup titles, most recently last season, when they beat neighbouring Manchester City in the final.
Man United entered the match against Arsenal after 5 consecutive matches without a win. However, there were signs of improvement significantly last weekend in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool. That performance will give the Red Devils more confidence in the second half of the season.
