This Sunday the FA Cup reserves games for three of the teams of the so-called “Big Six”. Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal will have opponents from lower divisions for the third round of the competition that has single games with matches only in case of a tie.
Liverpool, who play at home, enters the field at 11:00 (GMT) against Shrewsbury Town, a team that occupies the 14th place of EFL League One, the third division of the English Championship. You Reds arrive as strong favourites, despite not winning a game since December 16, when they beat Newcastle in the Premier League, where they are in 3rd position. Despite not having his coach and several athletes due to covid-19 and call-ups, he still has a better squad than his opponent.
At the same time, Tottenham and Morecambe face each other and the scenario is much better for the Spurs. Playing at home, the sixth-placed Premier League player is having a very good campaign after coach Antonio Conte took over, however, he comes from a defeat against Chelsea in the League Cup. Morecambe are 19th in the English third division and have also lost their last game. The London team’s strategy must be to spare players, as the coach has already said that the squad is lean.
Playing at 14:10 (Brasília time) away from home, Arsenal takes on the most complicated confrontation of the three, the two-time champions of the Champions League. Nottingham Forrest. You Gunners are fourth with a recovery campaign as good as that of north London rivals Tottenham. Their opponent is ninth in the second division, the EFL Championship, and brings one of the worst home performances in the league, as well as facing a run of two straight defeats while Arsenal lost their last game after five straight wins.
