That's all from the Emirates
Liverpool got the better of Arsenal during the festive period and are top of the league - and today Liverpool got the better of Arsenal to take their place in the hat for the fourth round draw.
Jurgen Klopp's team once again proved they are competitive without Mo Salah while the Gunners were wasteful without a striker. Any striker.
Such a promising season is in danger of rapidly unravelling for Mikel Arteta unless he can coach or purchase a goalscorer, but the Reds' relentless march goes on.
They'll discover who awaits them in the next round this time tomorrow when the draw is made ahead of Wigan's match against Manchester United, and we'll be here to talk you through it.
Until then, thanks for joining us and goodnight.
Liverpool loving life at the Emirates
Liverpool return to Arsenal at the start of February for what is shaping up to be a huge fixture in the Premier League title race.
However, despite Arsenal's dominant first half performance this afternoon, the eventual scoreline and recent history between the clubs show that the current table toppers will have nothing to fear - with or without Mo Salah.

Match stats from the Emirates
Three shots on target, two goals, the magic of the FA Cup.
Full time - Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool
It's all over, and Liverpool have prevailed in a classic cup tie!
After two disappointing Premier League performances, Arsenal started at blistering pace and created chance after chance after chance.
The only problem? They couldn't score any of them.
Naturally, the visitors grew into the tie, and as the game headed for a conclusion - and replay - Liverpool made their hosts pay.
A Jakub Kiwior own goal and Luis Diaz rasper means that it is the Anfield club that take their place in the draw for the fourth round.
The teams will meet back here in four weeks with potentially an even greater prize on the line. The Gunners will do well to have found either their shooting boots or a new striker by then.
At the final whistle, Jurgen Klopp rushed to the away supporters in the corner of the Emirates Stadium to execute his trademark triple fist pump. He knows just how crucial this performance and win could be.
Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool
90+5. What a finish! Both to this move and the cup tie!
With Arsenal throwing men forward while time and hope desperately ticked away, Liverpool broke upfield with force and adrenalin.
Darwin Nunez found Diogo Jota, Diogo Jota slipped in Luis Diaz, and the Luis Diaz smashed a superb shot past Aaron Ramsdale and into the roof of the net.
A wonderful FA Cup smash and grab!
Sealed in style!
Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool
90+2. Liverpool players are putting their bodies on the line, throwing themselves in front of the ball to block and committing the cynical fouls when they need to.
Bobby Clark and Trent Alexander-Arnold have gone into the book for such acts, but they won't care if they see this game out.
Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool
90. Odegaard dinks a delicate set-piece into the penalty area, where it's almost headed into the top corner by...
...Darwin Nunez?!
The striker is so close to levelling up with another own goal, but instead looks as cool as they come as his team prepare to defend the Arsenal corner.
There will four minutes of additional time to play.
Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool - Gravenberch yellow card
89. A free-kick to Arsenal 30 yards out and a yellow card to Ryan Gravenberch for wiping out Saka.
This will be the final chance before the clock strikes 90.
Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool - Arsenal double substitution
87. Perhaps his last throw of the dice, Mikel Arteta is rolling with Leandro Trossard and Emile Smith Rowe.
Kai Havertz and Jakub Kiwior depart as Arsenal go all out.
Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool
85. On the touchline, Mikel Arteta appears lost in thought.
He couldn't have asked much more from his team today other than their incredible inability not to put the ball in the net.
Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool
83. There is some noise coming from the away end of the Emirates now.
Top of the Premier League. The first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to come on Wednesday. Into the knockout stages of the Europa League. And heading for the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Why wouldn't they be singing?
Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool - Arsenal substitution
81. Mikel Arteta responds to the goal immediately by throwing on striker Eddie Nketiah.
He takes over from Jorginho, and how he would love just once of the chances that his teammates have passed up this afternoon.
Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool
80. Would you believe it?! Liverpool lead in London!!
After all of Arsenal's attacking dominance and chances missed, the visitors have grabbed the lead and look set to make their rivals pay.
Perhaps it was always going to take a mistake to break this deadlock, and Jakub Kiwior is the unluckiest man inside the Emirates Stadium.
The Polish defender was up high to meet Trent Alexander-Arnold's wicked free-kick from the left, but only succeeded in flicking it past his own goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
The away end erupts and Liverpool are off in their pursuit of silverware once again.
Breakthrough!
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
77. Now it's Liverpool's turn to let glorious chances go begging!
From a left wing corner, Diogo Jota thumps a header against the crossbar from close range.
Following up, Nunez tries to scoop into the far corner but - you guessed it - is off target.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool - Liverpool double substitution
75. You don't win anything with kids, a Liverpool legend once said.
Well, Jurgen Klopp is out to prove Alan Hansen wrong here.
The German introduces youngster Bobby Clark - son of Lee - and Conor Bradley for the final 15 minutes.
Off go Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
73. One goal will win it now and we're approaching the period of games when Liverpool are at their most threatening.
The Anfield club love a late goal. They'd love one even more today.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
71. Inside the final 20 minutes, and we're still no closer to finding out which of these giants will be joining the minnows of Maidstone, Eastleigh, Newport and Chelsea in the fourth round draw.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool - Elliott yellow card
69. Harvey Elliott is cautioned for saying too much.
Fulham fans can tell you that has been a long time coming.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
67. The introduction of Martinelli has somehow taken Arsenal to another level - a sixth gear, perhaps?
The Brazilian shows his skill by skipping beyond Alexander-Arnold twice in a matter of seconds to enter the box, but is unable to then pick out a teammate on both occasions.
And his corner lets him down too, failing to beat Gomez as the first man.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool - Saliba yellow card
65. The first yellow card of the match is shown to William Saliba.
The French defender was slightly more guilty of holding on to Diogo Jota's shirt than Diogo Jota was of holding on to his.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
64. Both teams are really going for it.
Neither want the replay, but that joint-aversion to another game is somehow cancelling each other out.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool - Arsenal substitution
62. As Odegaard unleashes a verbal volley at the linesman for not awarding the hosts a corner, Mikel Arteta decides to make his first change.
Gabriel Martinelli is thrown into the attack, replacing Reiss Nelson on the left.
