Arsenal vs Man United: Can Defending Champs, Red Devils, Get Revenge Against Gunners in FA Cup?

Two of the FA Cup’s most successful clubs, Arsenal and Manchester United, square off in a blockbuster third-round encounter at the Emirates on Sunday. 

The Gunners, with 14 titles, host the defending champions, who boast 13 triumphs, in a match rich in history and stakes.

Arsenal comes into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the EFL Cup in a game that saw the Gunners lose for the first since their defeat to Inter Milan in the UCL, 15 games ago.

That slip aside, the Gunners remain a force at the Emirates, where they were unbeaten in their last 20 games there in all competitions, a run going back to last season.

Mikel Arteta’s side will look to put that Newcastle result behind them quickly and try to rediscover the form that made them so formidable at home where they beat Manchester United themselves in the EPL 2-0.

Manchester United Players Celebrating Goal

Manchester United come into this contest following a morale-boosting 2-2 draw at Anfield, in a game everyone all but ruled them out, and with their morale so high, one can expect them to try and ride on that wave to try and avenge their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the league.

Although United’s recent form is concerning, with no wins in their last five games. The Red Devils’ FA Cup credentials remain strong, however, having won their last six matches in the competition, including their 2023 triumph.

Ruben Amorim’s men have struggled defensively, conceding at least two goals in each of their last five outings, but they’ll hope they can out-score an Arsenal side struggling to score at the moment.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Arsenal are without Bukayo Saka, Ben White, and Takehiro Tomiyasu due to injuries, while Gabriel Jesus is expected to lead the line. Mikel Arteta may also rotate with Calafiori and Jesus likely to feature.

Real Madrid and Barcelona lock horns at King Abdullah Sports City on Sunday in the Spanish Super Cup Final. This storied El Clasico will determine whether Real Madrid will match Barcelona's record of 14 titles or if the Blaugrana extend their tally to 15.

Barcelona Players Celebrating Goal

Barcelona entered the Supercopa in unconvincing form but showed flashes of brilliance in their 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao. Gavi and Lamine Yamal provided the goals in a controlled display that secured their place in the final.

The Blaugrana are La Liga’s top scorers with 51 goals, but their recent slump of two losses and a draw before the Supercopa raises concerns, ones they would love to put to bed in style and what better way to do it than beating Real Madrid for the second time this season.

However, it is precisely because of that, and the fact that a trophy will be at stake, is why it won’t be easy for Hansi Flick’s side, as Real Madrid would want revenge for the first defeat.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Real Madrid will assess injuries to Luka Modrić, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Federico Valverde. Jude Bellingham is expected to shake off minor issues to start. Long-term absentees include Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, while David Alaba is still recovering.

Hansi Flick - Barca Manager

Barcelona will miss Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Andreas Christensen, but Dani Olmo and Pau Victor return. Yamal is fit to start, and Wojciech Szczesny is likely to continue in goal, with Lewandowski spearheading the attack.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 4.04💵

Real Madrid have beaten Barca in 4 of their last 5 meetings in competitive games including last season's Spanish Super Cup final (4-1). | Specials Market: Home/Draw & Over 2.5 = 2.28

If friendly games are counted, Barcelona have beaten Real Madrid in all their last two meetings. 2-1 in the preseason and 4-0 in the only meeting this season in the league. | Specials Market: Draw/Away & Over 2.5 = 2.44

🔚Conclusion🔚:

This Spanish Super Cup Final promises high stakes, tactical intrigue, and El Clasico drama. Both teams are capable of brilliance, but Real Madrid’s current form and depth give them a slight edge over a Barcelona side seeking to recapture their swagger.
