Fresh from their mauling at the hands of Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, Arsenal will face an altogether different challenge in the FA Cup fifth round on Monday, as they visit non-league Sutton United.
The Gunners were obliterated at the Allianz Arena, eventually losing 5-1 to the German champions. Manager Arsene Wenger has come in for severe criticism as a result, and while his team will be big favourites to beat the fifth-tier side, it’s not a contest he, nor many of his players, will be relishing.
Sutton’s slender hopes of springing a surprise at Gander Green Lane would have been fuelled as they watched Bayern run amok in the Champions League.
