United beat Reading and the Gunners toppled Blackpool at the weekend to put their names in the hat for last night's fourth round draw.
Much to fans' shock, the pair were drawn together to leave Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Co facing a trip to the Emirates in an early clash of the titans.
But now both teams have reason to be wary of the match-up as they share a remarkable record.
Man United have eliminated Arsenal from the FA Cup on seven occasions – more than any other side.
However, Arsenal have knocked United out of the same tournament more than any other team in the competition – also doing so seven times.

Better yet, Arsenal and United lead the way in total FA Cup wins – with 13 and 12 trophies apiece respectively.
But this year, only one can progress, with the Gunners winning the trophy in three of the last last five seasons.
Most recently, Arsenal won the crown in 2016-17, 2014-15 and 2013-14, while Man United last won in 2015-16.
Elsewhere in the draw, holders Chelsea were drawn at home to the winner of Sheffield Wednesday and Luton.
