Arsenal will face Liverpool in the FA Cup third round at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday January 7.
Despite their ongoing battle in the Premier League title race, today marks a pivotal moment for both teams to keep alive their hopes of securing silverware this season.
No team has won the FA Cup more than Arsenal, as they are the only team to have won it 14 times. However, Liverpool have also enjoyed success in this competition in the past, winning eight titles during their storied history.
The two rivals battled to a 1-1 draw at Anfield just over two weeks ago, but the two teams' form since has been rather mixed. Mikel Arteta's men suffered back-to-back defeats to West Ham and Fulham, while Jurgen Klopp's Reds took maximum points against Burnley and Newcastle United.
The Sporting News follows the match live and provides live score updates and commentary.
