This FA Cup weekend, non-league teams Lincoln and Sutton take on Premier League oppositions, Burnley and Arsenal with a big dream: to be the first non-league teams to reach the sixth round ever, but Sutton need to keep a clean sheet against the menacing Arsenal attack, and Lincoln need to keep Burnley’s strikers, Gray and Vokes at bay.
On Saturday at 5.30 the league leaders Chelsea play Wolves, who hope to replicate their perfect performance from the last round in this game, but Chelsea will be hard to beat as top players such as Hazard, Costa and Kante could be playing in the affair.
Also on Saturday Huddersfield take on Manchester City, with Huddersfield improving massively in the league since last time and their current position in the league now (3rd) is sixteen places better than their Championship place last year (19th), so Huddersfield will be harder to beat than City will expect.
One of the last FA Cup fixtures of the weekend is Blackburn Rovers against Manchester United with United just recovering from their game against Saint Etienne where they won 3-0 and Ibrahimovic scored a hat rick. But United surely have to beat Blackburn because of the quality of their players and Blackburn’s awful league run.
I think Burnley could receive a big upset by Lincoln City. Firstly, Lincoln City will be playing their hardest game this season and teams always play their hardest against the hardest against the hardest teams for example Sutton UTD vs Arsenal.
