00:16My name is Ayomidi Shusbo and this is The Nutmeg.

00:19Between Arsenal and Manchester United, there are 27 FA Cup titles with Arsenal winning

00:25the most with 14.

00:27Now both sides will slug it out in the third round of the FA Cup this weekend at the Emirates.

00:31Here's our preview of the game.

00:33My name is Ayomidi Shusbo and this is The Nutmeg.

00:42So The Nutmeg returns in 2025 with FA Cup action.

00:45Of course, Arsenal will entertain Manchester United at the Emirates and I've got Organ

00:50here on the show as always.

00:52Great to have you, Organ.

00:53Thank you very much.

00:54And on the strength of the performance at Anfield, Armourin's Manchester United.

00:59Of course, you're looking forward to them going to Emirates, isn't it?

01:03Yes, beautiful game, beautiful style of play, just do what the coach asks you to do and

01:08then you get results.

01:09Three points is the most important thing for a football game.

01:14Three points is important.

01:15They didn't get three points against Liverpool and in the post-presser, you saw Armourin

01:22was really devastated to not get three points.

01:25Now it's a cup tie against Arsenal, who have already defeated them this season.

01:32What exactly are you looking forward to in that game?

01:36Well, let's say for Armourin, it's enough for him to be devastated because the actions,

01:46the anger they put into the last game against the Liverpool slot, if they can have that

01:52for every game they play, I believe that by now the team will not have lost them four

01:59games in a row or lose some kind of game, some kind of matches, you feel that before

02:04the game, Manchester United should have won.

02:08So it is what it is and they weren't able to get the three points, but it should build

02:15their momentum, it should build the zeal to be able to say, OK, if we can achieve getting

02:22two points out of three of the best teams in the Premier League at this time, then we

02:28can actually do that for a game like the FA Cup against Arsenal.

02:34Wherever they want to play it, it's a cup tie, whichever person wins gets to the next

02:39round.

02:40And do not forget Manchester United is the defending champion for this competition.

02:43Absolutely.

02:44So they should be able to defend their title, that is what we are hoping.

02:48You know, that's what makes it interesting now because Arsenal have 14, Manchester United

02:53have 13.

02:56Anybody that beats the other in this one is a potential favourite to win and that makes

03:04it really interesting.

03:05But for Arsenal, at this point in time, in a moment where they've not won a trophy, how

03:11important is this for Mikel Ateta's side?

03:14Yes, for a while now, we've always said what exactly does Ateta has to defend is stay in

03:22Arsenal.

03:23And it is about winning trophies, not about the style of play or how much of set-piece

03:30goals you have.

03:33But it's going to be a very difficult game for both sides.

03:38They want to win trophies, they want to actually rectify some errors that they've been experiencing

03:44in the course of the league games this season.

03:48Of course, Ateta wants to put something to his run for seasons now in Arsenal.

03:54And the players too, looking at what has happened to them last season, they also want to do

03:58better this season and at least be able to win the trophy.

04:03Now they'll have to do without Bukayo Saka, of course he's out for a protracted period.

04:09And we saw the game against Brighton, how they struggled without him.

04:14With Man United now, they have confidence, they have momentum going their way.

04:19Without Bukayo Saka, how do Arsenal find their way around Manchester United?

04:24Well, I believe that Waneri has been, of course he's not there yet to what Saka can do.

04:33He cannot give what Saka can give, but at least to an extent, he can provide maybe a

04:3850%.

04:39But I feel that he's not also fully fit yet for a game like that.

04:44But let's see how it goes.

04:46I believe that Manchester United has a long break, more training, we have more trainees

04:52than the Arsenal team because of the other games that they have within the week.

04:58Let's see how it goes.

04:59It's a football game, 90-minute, judges speaking.

05:01As you would always say, yes.

05:03They want to see you and go.

05:05Absolutely.

05:07It's 2025.

05:09Your predictions.

05:10Anyways, who do you see taking this one home this time?

05:15Alright, so because...

05:17It's a knockout game, remember?

05:18Yes, it's a knockout game.

05:19A win is a win, a loss is a loss.

05:23Maybe there's room for a replay, but you have to treat it based on that context.

05:27It's not a league game, it's not three points.

05:29It is win or loss.

05:31Yes, I will definitely go with Manchester United because I believe that everything will

05:38favour them because Manchester United has a long break before the game and Arsenal has

05:48a difficult game also within the week before facing Manchester United.

05:53So I believe that Manchester United has every reason to be able to win the competition.

05:58You'll always back my United, I'm not surprised.

06:00But you tell us who you think will win in the comments section across social media after
