Here are some of the highlights ahead of this weekends FA Cup fourth-round ties.

Manchester City and Arsenal take a break from an intense Premier League title race this weekend -- only to face each other in a heavyweight FA Cup clash at the Etihad. Holders Liverpool will look to avenge their chastening recent defeat at Brighton, whileHarry Kanecould become Tottenhams all-time top scorer. Here are some of the highlights ahead of this weekends FA Cup fourth-round ties.

Man City aim to halt Arsenals momentum

Unexpectedly trailing in Arsenals wake in the Premier League, Manchester City have the chance to slow the leaders momentum in their first meeting this season.

City are five points behind Arsenal, who have a game in hand, but the champions still have to play the Gunners twice in the league, making their FA Cup showdown a tantalising appetiser ahead of the main course.

Arsenal are riding high after victories over Tottenham and Manchester United in the league, while City stayed in touch after responding to a blast from Pep Guardiola by beating Tottenham and Wolves.

At half-time the other day, Pep told us what he wanted, what he wasnt happy with. As players we were not at our best and we had to correct that, City defenderJohn Stonessaid of his sides fightback from two goals down to defeat Tottenham 4-2.

It would be a major statement of intent from Arsenal if they are able to put Guardiola in another grumpy mood with a victory at the Etihad Stadium.

Fatigued Liverpool on revenge mission

Jurgen Klopp said he couldnt remember a worse game than Liverpools woeful 3-0 defeat at Brighton, a performance so wretched thatJordan Hendersonlabelled it a really low point in an already traumatic season for the Reds.

It is safe to say Liverpools trip to the Amex Stadium on January 14 left some painful scars on Klopp and company.

But the FA Cup offers them an unexpected chance to erase those bitter memories and get their campaign back on track.

Liverpool return to Brighton languishing ninth in the Premier League, 10 points adrift of the top four.

It is a remarkable fall from grace after they came within a whisker of winning an unprecedented quadruple last season.

Admitting Liverpool are still mentally fatigued from their bid for sporting immortality, Spain midfielderThiagoAlcantara said: It is not just about physical stuff, it is something psychological because we were so close to winning everything and we just touched it but sadly it went away.

Harry Kane would love the chance to become Tottenhams record goalscorer at Preston on Saturday.

Kane drew level with Jimmy Greaves on 266 Spurs goals when he netted with a superb strike in the teams Premier League win at Fulham on Monday.

Greaves tally had stood untouched since 1970, but the England captain is now on the verge of sole possession of the record.

With fifth-placed Tottenham in the midst of a fight to climb back into the Premier Leagues top four, Antonio Conte could rest his stars against second-tier Preston.

But, mindful of Tottenhams surprise defeat at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup fifth round last season, Kane is keen to play.

The FA Cup is important for us. It was disappointing to lose to Middlesbrough. We will see what the manager says but I will be ready, said Kane, who is still looking to win the first major trophy of his career.
