This Sunday, January 12th, Arsenal will host Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium in a crucial match for both teams in the third round of the 2025 FA Cup. The Gunners come into the match with good form in the Premier League but face a challenging season, marked by ups and downs such as a 1-1 draw against Brighton and a 2-0 loss to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. Despite the absence of Bukayo Saka due to injury, the team led by Mikel Arteta continues to fight for titles and Champions League qualification. Arsenal will aim to advance to the next round of the FA Cup, taking advantage of their opponent’s poor form.
Manchester United, on the other hand, is going through a period of transition. Rúben Amorim took over as head coach in 2024 after Erik ten Hag’s departure, and despite some market signings, such as Amad Diallo’s renewal and interest in Viktor Gyökeres, the team has struggled to find its best form. The Red Devils are on a concerning run, with four losses in their last five matches, putting immense pressure on the players. Despite this, key figures like Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes remain essential in reversing the situation, and Manchester United will seek to overcome their crisis in this critical match.
With Arsenal in a more stable moment and a well-organized squad, the Gunners are the favorites for this matchup. Arteta has managed to keep the team competitive, with Martin Ødegaard as the creative leader and a solid defense led by William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes. Meanwhile, Manchester United, under Amorim’s direction, continues to search for answers and will face a motivated and confident Arsenal. The pressure is on the visitors, who urgently need a positive result to turn their season around, while Arsenal will look to capitalize on their good form and try to progress in the FA Cup.
