FA CUP MONDAY: We preview Monday’s David and Goliath match as Arsenal travel to non-league Sutton United with the winners seeking a place in the final eight.
SUTTON UNITED V ARSENAL
7.55pm Arsenal are having a horror time at the moment, but they can hardly lose to Sutton United, can they? After a week of more calls for Arsene Wenger to go, he will be hoping for an early goal here to settle the nerves! The reality of things is that Arsenal should hammer Sutton United, and they’re currently trading at 1.18 in the match odds market – the lowest price of any team in this round of the FA Cup. However, after losing 5-1 to Bayern Munich midweek in the Champions League, Sutton United will think this is the best time to play Arsenal.
What puts us off supporting Sutton in the markets is their current form. Since beating Leeds in the last round to get here, they have lost their three games. They’ve also conceded ten goals in those three games too, they now sit only 17th in the National League table, and they lost to sides placed 19th and 14th in the last ten days – while before that they shipped five goals to Boreham Wood in the FA Trophy, who are 13th in the National League at the moment. So their current form is just not there, and if Arsenal lose here, surely Wenger is gone.
It’s really difficult to get away from the gulf in class here between the sides; it really is massive. And even if Arsenal play a second XI, they should still be scoring a few goals and winning with ease. With this in mind, we’re happy to back a big win for Arsenal and if there is a shock then so be it. Any Other Away Win (Arsenal to score 4 or more and win) is trading 2.66 at the moment and that looks on the big side with the way Sutton have been shipping goals lately. Arsenal need a confidence boost, and this game should be ideal for them.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
