Blackpool vs Arsenal
FA Cup 2018-19
Venue: Bloomfield Road, Blackpool
Kick-off: 5:30pm GMT today
Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of tonight’s FA Cup third round tie between Arsenal and Blackpool.
Unai Emery will get his first taste of the FA Cup with a trademark old fashioned tie when he takes his Arsenal side to Blackpool this weekend.
The Gunners, the most successful club in the competition's history with 13 titles, have won the competition in three of the past five seasons but saw their final campaign under Arsene Wenger end at this stage last season, losing to Championship side Nottingham Forest.
