Manchester United will be looking to continue their strong form when they take on Arsenal in the FA Cup third round. Having drawn with Liverpool in their previous match, United are hoping to make it two positive results in a row.
Manchester United have set themselves a standard to try and maintain ahead of Sunday's FA Cup third round tie against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Sunday's 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield marked United's best performance of the Ruben Amorim era thus far and they will be determined to build on it when they kick-off their defence of their FA Cup crown.

United, who had lost a fourth game on the bounce ahead of the trip to Merseyside, being beaten 2-0 by Newcastle United, produced the kind of characteristics that had been missing in previous games. To a man, United were excellent.

Over the course of his first 12 games in charge, Amorim has made a total of 51 changes to his starting XI. The bulk of those changes were inspired by his rotation policy, but some have been as a direct result of injuries, illness or suspensio
