It’s the most magical weekend in the English football calendar – FA Cup 3rd Round time. There’s always thrills and spills and this weekend there’s plenty of action on the telly box from Thursday right through to Monday night.

Saturday’s early game on the box (12.45pm) is the massive Sunderland v Newcastle smash up which sees the first running of the Wear-Tyne derby since 2016 and looks set to be a proper thigh rubber.

We should be in for a treat on Saturday evening too as Aston Villa head to Middlesbrough (5.30pm) and Sunday’s late game (4.30pm) between Arsenal and Liverpool is the highest-class affair on offer.

With so much going on here at PP News we thought we’d take a look at some of the big games and rustle up a tasty treble which might see a couple of upsets this weekend. Let’s get stuck in.

Sunderland v Newcastle – Sunderland Win/Draw

Sunderland will fancy their chances of taking something from this huge derby against an understrength and out of form Newcastle. Don’t be surprised if they do so.

Middlesbrough v Aston Villa – Over 3.5 Goals

Boro and Villa have both seen plenty of goals in their games of late and, without the pressure of points on the line, we can expect that trend to continue here.

Arsenal v Liverpool – Liverpool to Win

The clash of the third round looks likely to go in favour of the away side. Arsenal have won just one of their last six in all competitions while Liverpool are flying again.
