Two previous winners of the FA Cup will collide in the third round of the competition this weekend. Arsenal will have the home advantage against Liverpool, as the two sides clash just weeks after playing out a thrilling 1-1 draw in the Premier League.
Before Betting On Arsenal vs Liverpool
Arsenal and Liverpool both boast excellent history in the FA Cup, with the sides famously previously contesting the 2001 final. On that occasion, Liverpool came back from a goal down to snatch victory in Cardiff. However, since that loss, Arsenal have won each of the previous three FA Cup ties between the sides. Their most recent win was a 2-1 success at the Emirates in 2013-14.
Only Man United have eliminated Liverpool more frequently from the FA Cup than Arsenal, while United are also the only side to have eliminated the Gunners than Liverpool. Arsenal’s home record could be one of the trends to follow this weekend, as the Gunners have suffered just three losses in 49 previous home matches in the FA Cup.
However, all three of those losses in the competition have come in the last 12 years. Their most recent home defeat in the competition was suffered against United in 2018-19. Gabriel Jesus could be an Arsenal player worth following this weekend, as he has been involved in 16 goals in 20 appearances in the competition.
Liverpool also boast a very strong record in the third round of the FA Cup, having been eliminated on just one occasion in the previous 12 seasons. Their only loss at this stage over that period was suffered away from home against Wolves in 2018-19.
