Sunderland v Newcastle & Arsenal v Liverpool headline the FA Cup 3rd round

It’s FA Cup 3rd round weekend and Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Adrian Clarke are in the studio to dissect the most delicious ties.

Newcastle take on Sunderland for the first time in nearly 8 years. Hear why the Black Cats are perfectly placed to add insult to the Magpies’ significant injuries.

Arsenal host Liverpool on Sunday in a game that maybe means more to the Gunners as they try to prove that they have a Plan B while the panel plead the case for Gabriel Jesus.

Elsewhere in the 3rd round, Man City contest a fixture they once won 10-1, Bristol City aim to upset the Hammers and Shaun Maloney looks to beat Man United again.

Plus why Tottenham should take the cup seriously and why Middlesbrough shouldn’t.
