Manchester United make it through to Round 4
Arsenal are out after losing on penalties.
Time for the draw!
Zirkzee to win the game...
A goal would see Manchester United go through to Round 4 of the FA Cup.
If Partey misses, Arsenal are out.
It's 2-4 at the Emirates.
Rice scores to keep Arsenal alive
Leny Yoro slotted past Raya and it's now 2-3 to the away side.
Havertz misses...
It's 1-2 to Manchester United after goals from Bruno and Amad have were put past Raya.
And it's going to penalties!
The two most successful teams in FA Cup history will fight it out from the spot...
Don't worry, I'll keep you updated.

Ten to go in the game
We're at the stage now where a late goal almost feels unfair... we want penalties, right?
Second half underway!
And Manchester United come flying out of the blocks with David Raya making a great save from a Zirkzee shot.
It's still 1-1; 15 minutes to go.
It's all Arsenal so far in extra-time!
The Gunners have just seen a close-range effort cleared off the line by Manchester United centre-back De Ligt.
Newcastle through to next round
The Magpies also beat Arsenal 0-2 in the EFL Cup semi final first leg, meaning that a cup double could well be on the cards!
It's a one-sided affair in front of goal at the Emirates Stadium
However, Havertz has missed a bucket load of chances and the scoreline is still level.
And we're off again!
Extra time underway at the Emirates, meaning that the draw is 30 minutes away... if we don't go to penalties!
Full-time scores:
Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd (extra-time being played)
Crystal Palace 1-0 Stockport
Ipswich 3-0 Bristol Rovers
Newcastle 3-1 Bromley

There are just 7 minutes to go in the game between Arsenal and Manchester United, who are level as we enter added time.
What happens in the FA Cup if two teams are level after 90 minutes?
Over the past few years we've had winks, hints and nudges at the scrapping of replays, extra-time, penalties and everything else, so what happens in the FA Cup?
After 90 minutes, if the two teams are level, we go to extra-time and then penalties. There are no replays anymore.

Liverpool favourites to win FA Cup
Despite their struggles, Manchester City were, until recently, the favourites to win the FA Cup. However, they have since been joined by Liverpool, who are 4/1 along with Guardiola's side (via OddsChecker) to take the trophy home come the Wembley final.
After that come Chelsea, who sit as a 7/1 bet ahead of the fourth round draw.
Ødegaard misses from the spot!
The Norwegian sent his penalty low to his right but Atlay Bayindir dived well to stop the effort.
Only in the FA Cup...
There are not many tournaments in top-level football that see such disparities between the two opponents. And fair play to Tamworth, who held off Spurs until the 110th minute, deep into extra-time.
And even then, it was an own goal that broke the deadlock for the team that spent over $100 million last summer.

Arsenal are the FA Cup's most successful participants.
You'd never believe it given how loud their fans can be, but Arsenal are in fact the team who have won the most FA Cups in English football history. They have a total of 14 trophies in their cabinet, ahead of Man United with 13 and Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs all tied in third place with 8 each.
Goal update:
Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd (Gabriel, 63')
Newcastle 3-1 Bromley (Osula, 61')
Hosts readying the stage for the draw
The trio of Kelly Somers, Martin Keown, and Mark Schwarzer will present today's draw.
Somers is a seasoned pro when it comes to television presenting in the UK; Martin Keown won three Premier League titles with Arsenal and Schwarzer played for teams such as Boro, Fulham and Chelsea.

GOAL! Manchester United are ahead
The away side are 0-1 up against Arsenal thanks to a goal from Bruno Fernandes.
Newcastle are also 2-1 up against Bromley.
How does the draw work?
Well, it's certainly not as complicated as the Champions League draw and whatever happened during Gianni Infantino's Club World Cup song and dance.
Open draw
The FA Cup is your bread and butter, plain and simple open draw with no seeding and no home advantage for any side.
The first ball to be pulled out of the pot will be the home team and the send ball the away team. The only 'complication' is that some of the games won't have been played at the time, meaning some teams are 'either X or Y'.
Tamworth, Harrogate Town, Bromley FC...
We've seen some stellar performances from clubs at the bottom of the Football League - and lower - during the Third Round, with just Bromley still in contention to go through at this stage.
Tamworth, as mentioned, lost to Spurs while Harrogate were narrowly beaten by Championship leaders Leeds United at Elland Road.
Other minnows include Dagenham & Redbridge, who play against Millwall tomorrow, and Arsenal's opponents today, Manchester United, who haven't won since December 15.
Arsenal fans, do not fear!
There were rumours that Martin Ødegaard was not going to come out of the tunnel for the second half - which have just started around the country - but I can confirm that he is on the pitch.
This year’s FA Cup has already delivered some memorable moments, and the fourth-round draw promises to add to the excitement with the stakes even higher.
Here's how you can get the action on your TV or streaming device.

Arsenal change home colours in FA Cup
For the fourth year in a row, Arsenal will wear an-all white kit as part of a campaign aimed at reducing knife crime on the streets of London.
The ‘No More Red’ campaign will see The Gunners wear a special version of the current Adidas home kit, one that, as the name suggests, has had the red removed from the design. The men’s players will wear the whiteout strip against Manchester United in the fourth round of the FA Cup while the women’s team will do so in their FA Cup match against Bristol City.

The biggest shock so far...
The biggest shock of the tournament so far was almost Tamworth taking Tottenham Hotspur all the way to penalties.
However, a couple of late goals saw the Premier League side progress in the tournament and as such, I'll have to go with Brentford losing to Plymouth at home.
A fantastic, long-range strike from Morgan Whittaker saw the Championship team knock out the Bees and move into the pot for Round 4.
