Premier League Clubs Enter Emirates FA Cup Third Round Live on Optus Sport – The Emirates FA Cup gets into full swing this week as Australian football fans will get a first look at teams from the Premier League and the Championship in this year’s competition, live and exclusively on Optus Sport.
There are 64 teams remaining, with anticipation building for the third-round clash between the competition’s two most successful clubs, Arsenal and title holders Manchester United.
Elsewhere, there are some huge David and Goliath battles involving Premier League sides as Liverpool take on nearby Accrington Stanley, who are in League Two, at Anfield and Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham travel to non-league Tamworth, who are the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition.
Leeds United will also be back on Optus Sport screens when they take on local rivals Harrogate Town of League Two, with Chelsea facing Morecambe and Newcastle United drawing Bromley.
Another intriguing local derby to keep an eye out for is Premier League champions Manchester City welcoming League Two’s Salford City to the Etihad Stadium. This game has some extra spice given that Salford are owned by Manchester United legends David Beckham, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt.
Head of Optus Sport, Howard Rees said:
“We’ve already had some fantastic stories from the first two rounds of the Emirates FA Cup, with underdogs like non-league Tamworth getting all the way through to the third round.
“The beauty of the Emirates FA Cup is that there are amazing stories and narratives in every single tie and Optus Sport will be there to cover each and every one of them from these third-round ties.”
