Lisandro Martinez warned
Big mistake from the central defender. In the duel in the air, the Argentinian knocks Gabriel Jesus over… The Brazilian is fine.
It’s postponed
The Mancunian defense still resists after this corner, once again well taken.
Tempers are heating up
This corner is difficult to play. Gabriel, glued to the goal line, clashes with Martinez…
Arsenal keep pressing
Jesus crosses towards Martinelli who easily wins against Mazraoui. The Moroccan falls to the ground… The Brazilian’s head is blocked. Corner to follow
Mainoo sounds the revolt
Things are going a little better for Manchester who manage to build a first action. Mainoo unleashes his team’s first shot, outside the area. It’s too crushed and Raya easily catches this shot.
Odegaard brings the crowd to its feet!
Another classy move from the Arsenal captain… His control in midfield eliminates two defenders and sends the Gunners on the counterattack. He continues with a dive towards Martinelli who fails to control the ball towards goal.
The emotional elevator for Martinelli!
What action from Arsenal! Fantastic one-two between Odegaard and Jesus who eliminates 4 defenders in two passes. The latter continues with a deep pass to Martinelli who concludes, all alone, with the inside of his foot. The stadium roars, but the flag rises!
Despite a counter from Maguire on the pass, the Brazilian was flagged offside. Still 0-0, Manchester is on borrowed time.
Nothing is going well in Manchester at the moment
Dalot calls for the ball on the left, but it is widely flagged offside.
Gabriel’s head!
The pressure is getting stronger and stronger! Odegaard sends the ball directly to Gabriel’s head, well placed at the penalty spot… It goes just to the right of the goals.
New fault
This time, it’s Garnacho’s turn to foul Gabriel… Another free kick in the same position.
Even the keys are dangerous!
Manchester United are clearly suffering at the start of the match. After a long touch, Havertz inherits the ball in the area. Fortunately for the Red Devils, the German cannot turn around.
Merino flagged offside
The free kick is played in two stages, with Jorginho launching Merino with a long cross… It seemed to be going well, but the Spaniard is flagged offside.
Martinelli gets the better of Mazraoui
In the duel, the winger gained the upper hand over the Moroccan who was forced to concede a free kick to the right of the goals. Be careful, Arsenal knows the drill perfectly…
Raya far outside its surface
As is often the case with Mikel Arteta’s team, the goalkeeper places himself in the position of 3rd central defender to create the surplus in attack. Little pressure from Manchester at the moment.
Premier frisson
Odegaard triggers the first real offensive with a superb ladle above the defense towards Jesus. The Brazilian, well placed on the right, takes the defense by surprise… But he misses his cross towards Havertz.
Arsenal got into place
The Gunners take control of the game. Jorginho is in charge in the Devils camp.
-Garnacho insists on Timber
The duel promises to be tough… Timber protects his ball wonderfully while Garnacho harasses the defender.
The goalkeepers exchange the ball
Raya and Bayindir each send a huge clearance. The teams are setting up.
Let’s go for the FA Cup clash!
Referee Andrew Madley begins hostilities. It’s time for the FA Cup 3rd round clash.
The atmosphere promises to be exceptional!
Time for the match!
The mood is rising! The players enter the pitch. The Emirates Stadium is filled to the brim.
Arsenal ready to attempt five pass
For the first time in its history, Arsenal could achieve a fifth consecutive victory against Manchester United. Since the arrival of Mikel Arteta on the bench, the Gunners have clearly gained the upper hand over their opponent of the day.
The results of the confrontations:
Arsenal: 69 victories
Manchester United: 80 victories
Draws: 46
Marcus Rashford, Monaco’s big move?
Picked up by AC Milan, Juventus or Borussia Dortmund, Marcus Rashford would also be in the sights of AS Monaco, looking for offensive reinforcements for the rest of the season.
No longer in the odor of holiness since the arrival of Ruben Amorim on the bench, the former “wonderkid” would like to open a new chapter in his career.
This afternoon, Rashford is not even on the scoresheet.

Symbol of the trophy race
This match – which arrives very early in this edition – could also be an opportunity to relaunch the race for FA Cup trophies. Currently, Arsenal is the team that has won the most editions (14), but with their final victory last season, Manchester United moved to within one unit of their rival of the day.
The Cup to save the season?
Currently 13th in the Premier League with only 23 points, Manchester United are experiencing another complicated season in the league. Winners of the last edition, the Red Devils will try to reassure themselves.
To do this, Ruben Amorim’s men will first have to bring down Mikel Arteta’s Gunners who must do without their star Bukayo Saka, injured in the thigh.
