Exciting Matchup: Arsenal vs Liverpool and Sunderland vs Newcastle Clash

FA Cup Third Round: Manchester City vs Huddersfield Town

Manchester City will face Huddersfield in the third round of the FA Cup. This is an exciting matchup for City as they previously triumphed over Huddersfield with a 10-1 victory back in 1987 when both teams were in the second tier of English football.

This historic third-round draw has also seen the first Tyne-Wear derby in six years, where Sunderland will go head to head with Newcastle. This is a highly anticipated match as the last time Sunderland took on Newcastle in the FA Cup was way back in 1956, when Sunderland came out victorious.

Additionally, Arsenal, with an impressive record of 14 cup wins, will be playing against Liverpool at Emirates Stadium. This matchup is sure to bring back memories from 1971 and 2001, making it a highly anticipated event within the FA Cup. On the other hand, holders Manchester United are set to take on Wigan Athletic – a team that previously secured a quarterfinal win over United in 2012.

In summary, the 2023-24 FA Cup third-round promises a lot of excitement and surprises, with fantastic matches that fans and football enthusiasts alike will be looking forward to. From sensational records to intense rivalries, round three is certainly one to watch.
