January is, therefore, Arsenal vs Boro month.

We play them at home in the league on Jan 10th, then home again on the 20th in the League Cup semi first leg. Another home game in the FA Cup on the 24th or 25th, and finally away in the second leg of the semi on the 28th. That's 4 January matches out of 7 against the same team, including 3 in a row. Hard not to feel that the FA Cup tie is destined for replay!

There's a good chance it won't be selected for TV, seeing as both legs of the League Cup semi are on Sky.

It's one of several all-Premiership ties, the others being Tottenham's trip to Man City or Leicester, Everton vs Fulham, and the (neutral's) tie of the round: Liverpool at home to Newcastle (reckon that'll be on telly).
