      You could decide to use your free bets on Sunday’s clash between Arsenal and Liverpool. Here’s our top tips for the contest…
      Diogo Jota first goalscorer at 7/1 with TalkSPORT BET – CLAIM HERE
      Liverpool forward Diogo Jota looks overpriced to have a big impact in this third-round FA Cup contest.
      The Portuguese international, 27, is fit again after a lengthy spell on the sidelines and has already bagged a goal and two assists in just over 30 minutes of competitive action.
      He’s struck nine goals in 19 appearances in the 2023-24 campaign, including four in five cup competitions (Europa League and Carabao Cup).
      In fact, Jota is something of a cup specialist having scored 30 goals in 79 appearances including his time at Wolves and in Portugal. He also boasts an amazing record against Arsenal, scoring eight in 13 games against the London outfit.
      Luis Diaz carded at 10/3 with TalkSPORT BET – CLAIM HERE
      Liverpool’s Luis Diaz looks a good bet to be carded this weekend. The Colombia international has picked up two cautions this season, and both arrived in his last five outings.
      No Liverpool player has committed more fouls than Diaz this season, who has been penalised 27 times in 1176 minutes of Premier League action – which equates to a foul every 43 minutes.
      Diaz has faced Arsenal three times in his career and has booked on his last visit to the Emirates Stadium.

      Why will Arsenal wear white for FA Cup clash against Liverpool and can fans buy it?

      by

      ARSENAL face Liverpool in a huge FA Cup clash – but the Gunners will be wearing white instead of red.Mikel Arteta’s men are in need of a victory after such a horrible ending to 2023.

      And the Gunners gaffer will be hoping that this change strip sends out a rightful message as well as driving his team to victory.
      But why are Arsenal ditching their famous colours for a third consecutive year?
      Why will Arsenal wear white for FA Cup clash against Liverpool?
      Arsenal will be wearing white instead of red against Liverpool to mark the third year of their No More Red campaign with Adidas.
      It was first launched in 2022 to support work done by the Gunners to keep young people safe from knife crime and youth violence.
      Read more on Arsenal
      And pictures of the kit have been released on Thursday, January 4 with the likes of Declan Rice and Eddie Nketiah wearing it.

      The Office of National Statistics reports that were 13,503 knife-enabled crimes in London from June 2022 to the same month in 2023.
      So along with the kit, Adidas and Arsenal have revealed that they will invest more in safe spaces to play football with the opening of a third refurbished community pitch at Mayville Estate.
      Declan Rice believes that the all-white kit can have a ‘massive’ impact on the community.
      Most read in Football
      Will the kit be on sale?
      The No More Red kit will not be put up for sale despite it being so popular amongst fans.
      However, a bespoke community t-shirt will be available to purchase instead for £30 on Monday, January 29.
      Funds generated from the shirt will then be donated in equal proportions to several No More Red’s charity partners including the Arsenal foundation, Box Up Crime and Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation.
      Who did Arsenal last wear the kit against?
      Arsenal first wore the No More Red kit in a 1-0 FA Cup defeat against Nottingham Forest in 2022.
      And they put on the all-white kit again for a 3-0 away win at Oxford in last season’s FA Cup third round. More

      Fancy a late Christmas present?Credit: Dream Team
      Remember, you don’t have to predict the exact outcomes of all five fixtures to land the top prize – that would be asking too much – you simply have to outscore your rivals.
      Some of our previous winners this season claimed amazing prizes having submitted their predictions in ten seconds through sheer gut instinct – it takes no time at all to play and it’s completely free.
      Check out our predictions for Matchweek 21 below…

      Sunderland 1 – 3 Newcastle
      Chelsea 2 – 0 Preston
      Manchester City 5 – 0 Huddersfield
      Arsenal 2 – 2 Liverpool
      Wigan 1 – 2 Manchester United

      The Tyne-Wear derby promises to be a spicy one and while the Magpies have struggled of late, Eddie Howe will know full well what this fixture means to the fans.
      We’re backing the Black Cats to score though, probably via the in-form Jack Clarke, who has 12 Championship goals to his name already this season.
      Keep an eye out for Jobe Bellingham too, brother of Jude.

      We’re not expecting any drama at Stamford Bridge as Preston have lost four of their last five league games and are therefore unlikely to pull off an upset, regardless of the team selections.
      Some of the best teams in the world have crumbled at the Etihad against Pep Guardiola’s treble-winning machine so the visit of a relegation-threatened second-tier outfit has to be considered a massive mismatch.
      Sure, City will probably play some of the kids but youngsters like Oscar Bobb are actually rather good.
      Who knows, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland may even be eased back into action at some point?
      Arsenal v Liverpool is the most eye-catching match-up of the third round but this could well end up as a contest between two second-string sides.
      Both teams maintain hopes of lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of the season and the two managers will have one eye on the European knockout stages looming on the horizon.

      Mikel Arteta could do with a win but the league remains his priorityCredit: Alamy
      We don’t expect either gaffer to forfeit the FA Cup but this feels like a good opportunity to rest some key players – Bukayo Saka looks in need of a reset, for example.
      To be honest, a draw would be a nuisance to both clubs but we’re inclined to sit on the fence on this occasion.
      Finally, we’re backing Erik ten Hag’s men to get past the team currently 17th in League One – although it should be noted Wigan would be comfortably in the top half were it not for their points deduction.
      However, the Red Devils can’t seem to do anything with much conviction at present so we’re envisaging nervy, narrow win on the road.

      Which teams have the best fixtures this January? Dream Team managers to target cup competitions

      by

      THIS month is an intriguing one in the Dream Team calendar.With several players unavailable due to Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup commitments, plus a mini break for all 20 Premier League clubs, it might be wise for gaffers to target the cup competitions.
      The FA Cup third round is set to take place in Gameweek 19 with the fourth round fixtures scheduled for the end of month, in Gameweek 21.
      Then there’s the small matter of the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

      Smart option for January?Credit: Dream Team
      Let’s take a look at the current January fixtures for every club currently in the top half of the table.
      LIVERPOOL

      Arsenal (a)
      Fulham (h)
      Bournemouth (a)
      Fulham (a)
      Chelsea (h)

      The Reds’ participation in the FA Cup fourth round is far from certain as their trip to the Emirates represents one of most-competitive third round match-ups.
      However, a two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against the Cottagers ensures Jurgen Klopp’s troops will be one of the busier teams this month.
      Most read in Football
      Mohamed Salah (£6.5m) isn’t around to cash in but the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m), Darwin Nunez (£4.1m) and Virgil van Dijk (£4.3m) will be popular selections.
      ASTON VILLA

      Middlesbrough (a)
      Everton (a)
      Newcastle (h)

      The Villains’ home record is their great strength and so it may be a quieter month for Ollie Watkins (£4.4m) and company if they end up with just one game at Villa Park.
      Eddie Howe’s side battered Villa at St James’ Park earlier in the campaign but it’s a good time to play Newcastle with them having lost three games in a row amid their sustained injury crisis.

      MANCHESTER CITY

      Huddersfield (h)
      Newcastle (a)
      Burnley (h)

      The treble-winners against a side battling relegation in the Championship is a huge mismatch on paper and one that could yield massive returns but predicting Pep Guardiola’s line-up is far from easy.
      Again, Howe’s side are vulnerable at present so City’s league fixtures look friendly enough and it would be a huge surprise if they weren’t in the hat for the FA Cup fourth round draw.
      There’s also a chance the postponed meeting with Brentford will be rearranged for this month.
      When will Erling Haaland (£7.9m) return to action? That’s the big question.
      ARSENAL

      Liverpool (h)
      Crystal Palace (h)
      Nottingham Forest (a)

      The Gunners will fancy their chances of stopping the rot in their league form although Forest are showing signs of Nuno Espirito Santo’s New Manager Bounce.
      It will be interesting to see how Mikel Arteta views the FA Cup with the Champions League knockout stages on the horizon.
      TOTTENHAM

      Burnley (h)
      Manchester United (a)
      Brentford (h)

      Ange Postecoglou will have to contend with the absences of Son Heung-min (£4.7m), Yves Bissouma (£2.5m) and Pape Matar Sarr (£2m) on top of those currently injured.
      That being said, Spurs have won four of their last five and their next three opponents have all been out of form lately.

      WEST HAM

      Bristol City (h)
      Sheffield United (a)

      At this point, the Hammers have just two fixtures scheduled for the rest of January but don’t be fooled, they host Bournemouth on February 1st which falls under Gameweek 21.
      Plus, they’re favourites to get past the Robins this weekend although their squad looks stretched thin suddenly.
      BRIGHTON

      Stoke (a)
      Wolves (h)
      Luton (a)

      A relatively favourable run of games for the Seagulls as it stands although Gary O’Neil’s outfit are no pushovers by any means.
      Joao Pedro (£3.6m) and Pascal Gross (£4.3m) are best placed to take advantage this month with Karou Mitoma (£3.4m) and Simon Adingra (£3.2m) away on international duty.
      MANCHESTER UNITED

      Wigan (a)
      Tottenham (h)

      Like West Ham, the Red Devils have a game on February 1st (a trip to Wolves) and should progress in the FA Cup.
      However, most Dream Team bosses will be understandably hesitant to back any Old Trafford resident right now.

      NEWCASTLE

      Sunderland (a)
      Manchester City (h)
      Aston Villa (a)

      A fierce derby followed by two of the most difficult Premier League fixtures – a tough ask on current form.
      CHELSEA

      Preston (h)
      Middlesbrough (a)
      Fulham (h)
      Middlesbrough (h)
      Liverpool (a)

      Despite their inconsistent form, now is a great time to back the Blues as their two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against Boro means they’re busier than the vast majority of teams this month.
      Cole Palmer (£3.4m) appears to be the most likely player to capitalise – he’s Chelsea’s best asset this season having reached 124 points with a 17-point return against Luton in Gameweek 18.

      A trip to Anfield is a tough ask but it should be a productive few weeks nonetheless.
      It’s worth repeating that this weekend’s FA Cup results will shape the remainder of the January schedule so pay attention – there’s points to be had this month despite the disruption!
