With the FA Cup quarter-final draw announced, the match between Arsenal and Leyton Orient has suddenly taken on whole new meaning - the winner will be rewarded with a trip to Old Trafford to take on Premier League leaders Manchester United. If Orient pull off an upset and go through, this could represent a major payday for the club and the chance for their supporters to make a trip to one of the most famous stadiums in the world with that 'giant-killer- narrative going on in the background, and if Arsenal win here they set up a neutral's dream tie. Either way, it'll be extremely interesting and will probably give events on the pitch today that extra buzz.
