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.

Wood hacks it clear as Giroud gets sandwiched by the two Lincoln centre backs. Looked like a nasty clash of heads there, but all three look to be OK.

Sanchez weaves in form the left flank and lays it in to the feet of Walcott, who wastes little time firing in a low shot that deflects straight at Farman.

A penny for Arsene's thought as this point?
