Sutton United drawn at home to Arsenal in FA Cup

Non-league Sutton United will play twelve-time FA Cup winners Arsenal in the fifth-round of the FA Cup.

Sutton United have been handed the chance to knock Arsenal out of the FA Cup in what will surely be one of the biggest FA Cup upsets ever.

Fans of the south-London side were dreaming of an away trip to the likes of Old Trafford and The Emirates but a home tie to Arsene Wenger's side has to be the next best thing.

Sutton produced a fourth-round shock when they knocked out Leeds to reach the last-16 on Sunday but now face a huge test. Wenger has a great record in the FA Cup with Arsenal who celebrated back-to-back triumphs in 2014 and 2015.

Lincoln City were the other non-league side in the draw and they will make the trip to Turf Moor to take on Burnley. It wasn't perhaps the ideal draw for Lincoln fans but the chance of knocking a Premier League side out of the cup is something management duo Danny and Nicky Cowley, as well as all involved with Lincoln, will be looking forward to.

Elsewhere Oxford United were drawn away to Middlesbrough while League One Millwall may well fancy their chances at home to either Derby or Leicester City.

There are away trips to Championship sides for rest of the Premier League's top teams which could provide at least one cup upset. Tottenham will travel to west-London to take on Fulham while Manchester United face the short trip to Blackburn.

Huddersfield host Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, who have breezed past fellow Premier League opposition so far in the competition. Chelsea will need to be wary of a Wolves side that knocked out Liverpool in the last round.
