The English Football Association (FA) announced the third round match of the English FA Cup on the 9th (Korea time).

Since it is a showdown between EPL teams, which of the two teams will continue the possibility of the trophy this season is also a factor for fans to watch. In addition, Everton and Sunderland, Newcastle and Bournemouth, Manchester United and Bruton are expected to play a fierce battle from the third round.

Yang Min-hyuk's team Portsmouth also advanced to the third round of the FA Cup. The opponent is Arsenal. Arsenal is one of the strongest teams in the EPL this season. Starting with the defense led by William Saliba and Gabriel Magalyangis, it is a team with top league resources in all positions, including Declan Rice in the midfield and Bukayo Saka in the front. It is not easy for Portsmouth to expect a victory.
Yang Min-hyuk is expected to face an EPL team for the first time since entering the English stage if he plays against Arsenal. Yang Min-hyuk did not have a chance to face an EPL team while playing for Queens Park Rangers and Portsmouth while he has yet to make his first-team debut at Tottenham.

It is expected to be an ordeal and a good opportunity for Yang Min-hyuk. The FA Cup can be a good opportunity to play in a situation where he has not been able to consistently start this season. Moreover, if the opponent is an EPL team, it can be used as a good stage for a skill check. However, it is worrisome that difficulties can be repeated if they remain sluggish against Arsenal. Yang Min-hyuk recently started for the first time in six games against Charlton Athletic in the league, but the game was canceled when a Charlton fan collapsed during the game.
Meanwhile, Swansea, where Um Ji-sung is active, faces West Bromwich Albion, and Stoke City, where Bae Joon-ho plays, faces Coventry City. Baek Seung-ho's Birmingham City will face Cambridge United, while Hwang Hee-chan's Wolverhampton is seeking to advance to the fourth round against Shursbury Town.
