FA Cup third round 2025/26 text updates

Arsenal remain in with a chance of a quadruple this season and open their FA Cup challenge at Portsmouth in the third round on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta’s side hold a six-point lead atop the Premier League, have reached the knockout phase of the Champions League and are in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup.

While they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Liverpool on Thursday, the Gunners remain poised for an exciting second half of the campaign.

Portsmouth are finding life tough in the Championship. They sit a place above the relegation zone in 21st place and were hammered 5-0 at Bristol City in their last outing on January 1.
