Arsenal vs Manchester United: TV Channel, live streaming, team news

The fourth round of the FA Cup kicks off on Friday when the two most successful clubs in the competition, Arsenal and Manchester United, play the heart-throttle at Emirates Stadium.

Unai Emery's men enter the game after a convincing 2-0 win over Chelsea and they will be eager to bet on this performance to try to end an incoherent sequence.

However, they face a serious challenge with the returning Red Devils, who have made seven consecutive record wins, led by Acting Chief Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The parties could not be separated at their last meeting in December at Old Trafford, but since the scenarios for the two clubs have changed considerably since then, the fans have to wait for a totally different affair.

In the United States, the game can be streamed live online on ESPN +.

In the United Kingdom (UK), the game will be broadcast live on television via BBC One and may be broadcast live online using the BBC iPlayer application.

Arsenal brings three changes to the team that beat Chelsea 2-0 in the Premier League last weekend with Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Petr Cech and Alex Iwobi, all coming in. Mesut Ozil must again settle for a spot on the bench but Danny Welbeck and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are not yet fit to return.

Since Solskjaer's return to Old Trafford, Manchester United has crossed a wave and their economic upturn has shown no signs of slowing down as they seek their eighth consecutive victory.

The Norwegian has narrowed the gap with the Premier League Gunners to the point where they are now tied for points and he will be desperate to ensure that the race continues by eliminating their longtime rivals.

Historically, the matches between the two teams have been filled with incidents and, although both teams have been living up to their usual high standards in recent years, a knockout tie has a lot of potential.

"When you get the draw and you see that it's Arsenal, it's one of those" wow "moments," Solskjaer told the Manchester United official website before the match .

"It's a difficult challenge, but a fantastic challenge – we have often faced Arsenal in the FA Cup.

"In fact, I played in two semi-finals against them in 1999 and 2004 and we won both, so hopefully that will be a good sign."

Emery is looking forward to the rebounding Red Devils and believes that a home win can serve as a springboard.
