The FA Cup third round kicked off with several high-profile matches, including Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa and Manchester City vs Exeter. The Spurs were struggling under new manager Thomas Frank, who has seen his team win just two of their last 12 Premier League games, whereas Aston Villa are on a roll, sitting third in the league table after 13 wins from their last 16 matches.
In the other half of the draw, Charlton Athletic face off against Chelsea, with the Blues struggling under new manager Liam Rosenior. The Addicks have lost their last four games, while Chelsea have beaten West Ham 4-0 in their most recent league game at home.
On Sunday, Derby County will host Leeds United in a Championship match that will be played by the teams' B squads, as Daniel Farke's Premier League side prioritizes staying in the division. The game will take place alongside Women's Super League fixtures, including West Ham vs Chelsea, which promises to be an interesting clash for Rita Guarino's new team.
Meanwhile, American football fans will be watching the NFL playoffs unfold, with two wildcard teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, set to face off in a crucial match. The Eagles, led by Jalen Hurts, are looking to bounce back from their recent setbacks and secure their place in the next round.
The Women's Super League has also returned after its winter hiatus, with Arsenal set to host Manchester United in an all-Premier League tie. However, the Gunners have struggled under new manager Marc Skinner, who recently bolstered his squad with signings Hanna Lundkvist and Lea Schuller.
As for the FA Cup third round, Macclesfield Town will face Crystal Palace, with the Silkmen looking to cause an upset against one of England's top-flight teams. However, they have been affected by tragedy after losing a player in a car accident just 25 days prior to the game.
In contrast, Algeria and Nigeria are set to clash in the Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinals, with the two African giants facing off at the Grand Stade de Marrakech.

! I mean, Tottenham struggling under new manager Frank? And Aston Villa on fire 
? Meanwhile, Chelsea's woes under Liam Rosenior are making Charlton's struggles look like a walk in the park 
. But you know what's even more intriguing? The women's games, especially West Ham vs Chelsea - Rita Guarino's got her work cut out for her 
.
! I'm loving the underdog vibes with Macclesfield Town against Crystal Palace tho. The FA Cup is always full of surprises, especially when you factor in the recent car accident that took out one of their players 
.
. It's gonna be a wild ride in all these competitions 
!
so what's up with Tottenham right now? they're really struggling under Thomas Frank and I'm not sure if he's the right guy to turn them around... 2 wins in 12 games is just not good enough for a team with Spurs' history and fanbase 
. i think Aston Villa is a good test for them, will it be a wake-up call? 
meanwhile, Chelsea vs Charlton Athletic could be a fun match - Charlton's on a losing streak so far but they're always good underdogs in cup ties 
I mean, Aston Villa are on fire right now though, sitting third in the league table after 16 wins in a row! 
. Can't wait to see if they can pull off an upset tho!
I mean, Aston Villa is on fire rn and 3rd in the league table after 13 wins from their last 16 matches is crazy 
but the Blues are also struggling under Liam Rosenior, so maybe this game could be a surprise 
Tottenham vs Aston Villa is gonna be SO intense!!! Thomas Frank's Spurs need a win ASAP or else they'll be in big trouble 
. And omg, Women's Super League is back and better than ever 
Can't forget about the NFL playoffs either, Philly Eagles vs San Francisco 49ers is gonna be a real nail-biter 
️. And on a different note, Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinals are gonna be lit 
and I'm curious to see if Macclesfield Town can pull off an upset against Crystal Palace 
. Wishing them strength and support throughout this tough time 
fun! 
or their season might be 
. The Women's Super League is also looking 
tragic... I wish them all the best for this match and hope they get some help from the FA 
️
Women's Super League is back n Arsenal vs Manchester United cant wait 2 see wat happen
