Line-up
Pre-match information
Arsenal and Man United are currently the two teams with the best records in the FA Cup. The Gunners have 14 titles, most recently in the 2019-2020 season.
It was also Mikel Arteta's first season in charge. But since then, Arsenal have failed to reach the fifth round in each of the next four seasons. The Gunners have also failed to win a major trophy in the past five years.
Meanwhile, Man United have a total of 13 FA Cup titles, most recently last season, when they defeated neighbours Manchester City in the final.
Man United go into the game against Arsenal on the back of a five-game winless run. However, there were signs of improvement last weekend in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool. That performance will give the Red Devils confidence for the second half of the season.
