We review the date of the match between Arsenal and its guest Manchester United in the third round of the third FA Cup and the channels broadcasting the confrontation.

Today, Sunday, the Etihad Stadium will host one of the classic matches in English football, refereed by referee Andrew Madley.

The match starts at six in the evening Mecca time (18:00) and three in the evening GMT (15:00).

Channels broadcasting the Arsenal and Manchester United match

The live broadcast of the match will be on the following channels:

• No Arab channel has obtained the rights to broadcast the current season of the FA Cup.
• BBC One.
• Sports TV2 Portugal.

The British news agency (PA Media) reported that Manchester United occupies 13th place, 7 points ahead of the relegation-threatened positions, but Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim, coach of the “Manu”, will resist the temptation to field a weak squad when his team begins defending the FA Cup title in north London.

Amorim said, “At this time, I live day by day. What I’m thinking about is that after spending a week without playing any match, we had a day off (after the Liverpool match), and we could have worked on the team a little.”

Arsenal inflicted on United their first defeat under Amorim’s leadership when they beat them by two unanswered goals in the English Premier League last month.

However, Mikel Arteta said that United have changed since the last confrontation between the two teams more than 5 weeks ago.

But United showed good potential in the 2-1 win over Manchester City and the 2-2 draw with Liverpool last Sunday.

“The Mano” suffered 4 consecutive defeats and failed to keep a clean sheet in the last 9 matches, while Arsenal scored 13 goals in 5 matches before losing 2-0 to Newcastle United in the League Cup last Tuesday.

It is noteworthy that Manchester United won its 13th title in the FA Cup last May, after its surprising victory over Manchester City 2-1 in the final match, and is only surpassed by Arsenal, which has won the title 14 times.
