Match corresponding to the last 16 of the English FA Cup where they will play the Sutton and Arsenal.

To talk a little about these two teams I will mention his career so far in the league and the FA Cup.

Sutton

– The Sutton is the smallest team of the 16 remaining alive in this competition. They belong to the Vanarama League (Corresponding to a Preferente in Spain) and occupy the 17th position of 24 teams. Currently they have 36 points and have obtained them after 10 victories, 6 draws and 14 defeats where they have scored 32 goals and have conceded 41. They are 6 points above the decline and have the ascent to 17 so the latter is discarded for A possible goal.

– In their last 5 league games they have won 1 victory, 1 draw and 3 defeats and lead a 4-game losing streak. This weekend they fell to the Guiseley (20th today and 22nd before playing against Sutton) 2-1 proving that they do not reach this match at the best possible moment.

– In their stadium they have obtained practically all their points. Of the 36 that they have, 30 of them have obtained them at home. In their 15 matches played in their feud they have won 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats where they have scored 21 goals and have conceded 15. After a hard defeat 0-6 to the Dover (6th), they tie 3 consecutive matches without knowing the defeat.

– In the FA Cup they have already overcome up to 4 rounds to reach this match and all their effort has its reward. They began the competition in the 1/128 finals where they thrashed modest Dartford (Vanarama League) 3-6. In the 1/64 finals they won 2-1 at Cheltenham (League Two). In the 1/32 lest played to play against Wimbledon (League One) where they tied 0-0 and replay were imposed by 1-3. In the 1/16 finals they won 1-0 at the Leeds Utd (Championship) and now they got one of the fat of the draw, the almighty Arsenal of Wenger, Alexis and company.

I emphasize that in each round that they surpassed, they left a team of a greater category to the previous one and giving a more epic touch to the gesta that they have obtained.

Arsenal

– Wenger’s Arsenal ranked fourth in the Premier League with 50 points out of 75 possible. His current balance is 15 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses where they have scored 54 goals and have conceded 28, being the team’s most scorer in the competition. Currently they occupy access posts to the previous phase of the UCL and share the same points as Tottenham, a team that would play the UCL directly.

– They reach this meeting with 3 wins and 2 losses in their last 5 league games. On Wednesday they fell to Bayern Munich 5-1 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds, leaving them with a 99% chance of being knocked out at the first opponents.

– Far from the Emirates have good numbers. In their 12 league outings they have won 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses where they have scored 28 goals and conceded 15. In their last outing they fell 3-1 to Chelsea by Conte.

– In the FA Cup Arsenal has only had to play 1 match. This won it by 1-2 before the modest Preston (Championship) where they had to overcome the encounter and scored the goal of the classification in the 91 minute. In this match did not play with the entire reserve team and Arsenal pulled in 11 Holders such as Giroud, Mustafi, Ramsey or Xhaka.

This encounter should be much easier than against Preston and they will get rested despite having Champions encounter on Wednesday. I hope, and should be, a thrashing by the gunner set.
