We’ve already seen the magic of the cup strike once this past weekend, with Lincoln City taking down Burnley to become the first non-League club in 103 years to make the FA Cup quarterfinals. Sutton United have the opportunity to make it two non-League clubs this year — but only if they can achieve the phenomenal task of beating Arsenal.

Sutton will have homefield advantage to help their cause, and there’s one more thing that could give them a huge boost in this match — Arsenal’s form. The Gunners are reeling right now, having lost three of their last four, including taking an absolute pasting at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League, losing 5-1 in Germany on Wednesday. After such a humiliation, this could be the prime chance for Sutton to catch Arsenal in a moment of weakness and knock them out of the FA Cup in a legendary triumph.
Unlike fellow National League success stories Lincoln, though, Sutton’s own form isn’t helping much either. Lincoln had won four straight games going into their trip to Burnley, whereas Sutton haven’t won in the matches since their victory over Leeds that brought them to this moment. They’ve scored just one goal since beating Leeds, and they’ll have to step up in a big way if they’re even going to hope to beat Arsenal — but if there’s any match a team like Sutton would step up for, it would be this one.
