FA Cup Third Round: Five things to watch out for

Manchester City v Wigan Athletic - FA Cup Final
A tasty clash in the offing at the Emirates

Arsenal Training Session

A North London derby is a fascinating clash irrespective of when and where it happens. But, the timing of this current clash, in the third round of the FA Cup, at a time when both squads are going through an injury crisis of sorts, is far from ideal. But Arsenal take on Tottenham knowing fully well that should they win, that might just provide them with the impetus that they need in the League.

Tottenham, on the other hand, have been revitalized under Tim Sherwood, and although his tactics have worked so far, it remains to be seen whether he persists with the 4-4-2 that has served him so well hitherto. And irrespective of what happens, we are in store for an exciting game between two fierce rivals, looking to claim bragging rights until they meet again.
