This weekend there will be no matches in the English Premier League, but the "Viasat Sport Baltic" channel will not let football fans get bored. This channel will show four matches of the English Football Association Cup.
In the third round of the competition, two giants of this country's football - "Arsenal" and "Tottenham Hotspur" will cross paths. In the North London derby, there is almost always a fierce battle.
This season in the Premier League clash, "Arsenal" defeated "Spurs" 1-0 at home. The "Gunners" lead the country's championship, while "Tottenham Hotspur" holds the sixth place, but recently this team has been playing impressively. In the last round, "Spurs" defeated reigning champions "Manchester United" 2-1 away.
By the way, the "Red Devils" hold the record for the FA Cup. They have won this trophy 11 times. However, the last time was a long time ago - in 2004. Manchester's team will test their strength at home against "Swansea City" in the FA Cup third round.
On Saturday, the team "Leeds United", represented by Lithuanian national team player Marius Žaliūkas, will play away against "Rochdale".
