Arsenal were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool in the standout tie of the FA Cup third-round draw.
As 14-time winners, the Gunners are the most successful team in the knockout competition's history, while Liverpool won the last of their eight titles when they beat Chelsea on penalties in the 2022 final.
Arsenal missed several chances before a Jakub Kiwior own goal and a late strike from Luiz Diaz sealed Liverpool's progression to the fourth round.
