Arteta: 'Tricky' ball a factor in Arsenal's loss to Newcastle (0:48)

Mikel Arteta reacts to Arsenal's 2-0 loss to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semifinal first leg. (0:48)

The two most successful sides in FA Cup history go head-to-head in a mouthwatering third-round clash this Sunday, with both Arsenal and Manchester United looking to start a welcome run in English football's most prestigious competition.

United are the holders after claiming their 13th FA Cup trophy last year with a surprise victory over rivals Manchester City, and come into this weekend's game as slight underdogs against 14-time winners Arsenal.

Arsenal are second in the Premier League while United are only 13th, and they have failed to beat the north London side at the Emirates Stadium since their last cup encounter five years ago.

Arsenal also eased past United in their league encounter in December -- but will the magic of the cup strike again?
