Arsenal take on non-league side Lincoln City in the FA cup quarter-finals this March 12, at Emirates Stadium. It could be an interesting game from both teams.
Arsenal will enter to this game with a poor form. A 1-5 opposite at home to Bayern Munich saw Arsene Wenger’s side crash out of the Champions League with a 10-2 on aggregate. However, they prepared very well to face non-league side on this weekend. They will be hoping to win this round.
The Gunners have registered 2 wins and 3 losses in their last five games in all competitions. They have scored 8 goals and conceded 16 goals in the last six games in all competitions. They are currently at 5th place in league table standings with 50 points from 26 games played this season
Arsene Wenger has no reason not to rotate his men. David Ospina, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Mohamed Elneny, Alexis Sanchez, and Mesut Ozil are expected to start the line up on this Sunday’s battle.
On the other hand, Lincoln are the first non-league side to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals in 103 years. They will enter to this game with a heavy 0-4 away win against Braintree in their previous game. They also knocked out Premier League side Burnley in their last round, and now they prepared well to face the Gunners.
The visitors have registered 3 wins and 2 draws in their last five games in all competitions. They have scored 9 goals and conceded just 1 goal in the last six games in all competitions and they are currently on the top National League table standings with 72 points from 34 games played this season.
Danny Cowley may be in better form than the hosts, they have no problems with the players so far. They will enter to this game highly motivated an try to lead the game from the start to seek more chances to score. But it will be uneasy to do their task in the whole 90 minutes at Emirates Stadium this Sunday.
We expected Arsenal to be winners in this one. (Source:www.dailymail.co.uk)
