If Arsene Wenger thinks he was heavily criticized after Arsenal were hammered by Bayern Munich in midweek, it'd be nothing to the anger if they lose to Sutton United. This is the magic of the FA Cup where the team from the National League host Premier League Arsenal and amazingly they are playing for a place in the quarter finals. Sutton are 17th in the National League and only six points above the relegation zone but with two games in hand. Last weekend they conceded a last minute goal and lost 2-1 at Guiseley. Since beating Championship side Leeds United in the 4th round, they have gone four games without a win and their only goal was a penalty. As well as beating Leeds, Sutton have also eliminated Cheltenham Town and AFC Wimbledon but now they take on Arsenal. The Gunners will of course play a weakened side but even so they should have far too much for the non-leaguers. Just get an early goal and it'll be plain sailing from then on. Struggle in this game though and those wanting Wenger out will have tons more ammunition, in fact a few of them may well prefer to see Arsenal struggle if it means Wenger has to go.  Arsenal can win this on a -2 handicap.
