The FA Cup third round over the weekend delivered drama and excitement, with sides in the top-flight largely prevailing but not without challenges. Manchester United edged past Arsenal in a thrilling tie at the Emirates prevailing 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, despite playing much of the match with ten men due to Diogo Dalot's red card. Newcastle United overcame an early scare against Bromley, recovering from a League Two side's lead to win 3-1 with contributions from Lewis Miley and Anthony Gordon. Tottenham Hotspur faced a resilient Tamworth, only breaking the deadlock in extra time to win 3-0, thanks to an own goal and strikes from Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town cruised past Bristol Rovers 3-0, with Kalvin Phillips scoring his first open-play goal in over three years, and Crystal Palace narrowly defeated Stockport County 1-0 through an early Eberechi Eze goal. All that plus Premier League previews, on this episode of Just For Kicks.

It was an action-packed weekend in the Premier League, with plenty of drama and storylines to unpack. Liverpool held on to their six-point lead over Arsenal after a pulsating 2-2 draw against a determined Manchester United. Despite sitting in the bottom half of the table, United delivered a gutsy performance at Anfield to secure a valuable away point. Meanwhile, Arsenal missed a golden chance to close the gap, settling for a frustrating 1-1 draw at Brighton. The Gunners struggled to create clear opportunities, managing only nine shots, with just three on target—a concerning statistic for a side chasing the title. Over at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s woes deepened under manager Enzo Maresca as their winless streak stretched to four games, leaving fans desperate for answers, while on the brighter side, Manchester City looked like their unstoppable selves again cruising to a commanding 4-1 victory over West Ham, with Erling Haaland once again proving his worth by bagging a brace. Catch all this and more in this week’s episode of Just For Kicks!

Tottenham Hotspur survived a scare in the Carabao Cup to book a place in the semi-final. Their next opponent in the tournament will be the same opponent that they will be facing this weekend in Matchweek 17: Liverpool. After claiming that being a football manager is even a harder job than being a Prime Minister, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou will be looking to his players to hopefully make his job easier with a good performance, or even a win, against Liverpool. Can they do that and find some consistency in their performances? Our pundits look ahead to this match, and many more, as well as review the midweek Carabao Cup action, only on another busy exciting episode of Just For Kicks, as we welcome the festive season!
