Standings, Key Details

Arsenal and Man United are the two most successful teams in FA Cup history, with 14 and 13 wins apiece, respectively. But that doesn’t mean they’re evenly matched during this game. Arsenal stands at second place while Man United is 13th, and Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-0 at the team’s last meeting. That means that though they’re the reigning FA Cup champs, Manchester United are the underdogs in this matchup. The FA Cup scrapped replays this season, meaning draws will result in extra time and penalty shootouts.
