The real things in the FA Cup traditionally start in January, when the teams from the Premier League start their performances from the 3rd round, and the draw "tried" to direct the spectacle even then...
The second weekend in 2025 will bring a classic between Arsenal and Manchester United, the greats who will meet in two days' time in the championship match.
Premier League leaders Liverpool will host League One side Accrington Stanley, while champions Manchester City will play Salford City.
Of course, the "citizens" are huge favorites, but this match is given special charm by the fact that the owners of Salford are legends from the city, members of the famous "92 generation" of Manchester United - David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville...
Montenegro will also have a representative in the 3rd round of the oldest club football competition on the planet, as Milutin Osmajić and his Preston will welcome Charlton, once a nice team from the Premier League, and today a member of League 1.
The next round could bring another interesting story, as Ashley Young with Everton welcomes Peterborough, whose colors are defended by his son Tyler.
