More than 150 years later, 732 teams will take part in this season’s version of English soccer’s top club competition, with the final slated for May 25 at Wembley Stadium.
Between the two clubs, they have won the FA Cup on 22 occasions, with Liverpool last hoisting the Cup in 2022. Although Arsenal closed out 2023 with a three-game losing skid (two losses), Liverpool is unbeaten in 13 league matches since suffering its only loss of the season on Sept. 30 away to Tottenham.
Both teams will be missing key players for Sunday’s clash. Mohamed Salah is the Premier League’s joint top scorer this season with 14 goals, but he’ll be away on international duty with Egypt at the African Cup of Nations. Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny will also be with Egypt, while Ukrainian left fullback Oleksandr Zinchenko is questionable with a calf injury.
