Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the FA Cup sixth round clash between Premier League Arsenal and non-league, Lincoln City. It’s been a fairytale season for the Imps. Danny Cowley’s side are top of the National League by six points, have reached the FA Trophy semi final and are on the adventure of a lifetime in this competition. In contrast, Arsene Wenger is under serious pressure. The Gunners sit outside the top four and were humiliated in the Champions League last 16 against Bayern Munich. Wenger can’t afford any more bad press and will be desperate for his side to make short work of a non-league side who arrive on the crest of a wave. It’s the type of match that the FA Cup is all about and gets underway at 5.30pm GMT.

End of 2nd Half
90'
FT: Arsenal 5 Lincoln 0. The Gunners up the ante in the second half to cruise into the semi finals. The Imps can be proud of what they achieved in making it to the last eight, but they ran out of steam in the second half as the Gunners' class told. This will be a big relief for Wenger who must have been a bit worried on 44 minutes with the game still scoreless.
