They arrested their losing streak after four games last week with a 2-2 home draw with Liverpool in the Premier League. Lisandro Martínez scored in the 52nd minute before Amad Diallo equalised for United in the 80th minute.

The Gunners suffered their first home loss of the season on Tuesday, failing to score for the second time at home. Nonetheless, they are on a four-game winning streak at home against United but have failed to score in four of their last five FA Cup games.
Manager Mikel Arteta continues to be without the services of Bukayo Saka, Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri and Takehiro Tomiyasu. Riccardo Calafiori was rested against Newcastle and should start.
United, meanwhile, have won just two of their last 12 away games across competitions. New boss Ruben Amorim will be without Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw. Altay Bayindir will start between the sticks and Marcus Rashford resumed training, but his involvement is doubtful.
While United have a good record in the competition, the Gunners have been the dominant side in recent games in the fixture and should eke out a narrow win.
