Lincoln defensive linchpin Bradley Wood has a plan to stop Alexis Sanchez: 'If he tries to run me in the channels then I'm smashing him'

Lincoln City defender Bradley Wood has warned Arsenal he will do whatever it takes to keep Alexis Sanchez quiet when the teams meet in the FA Cup this evening.

Wood has a reputation in the National League for his tough-tackling, no-nonsense approach.

When Arsene Wenger's side beat Sutton to set up the quarter-final tie against the Imps at the Emirates, the 25-year-old received a message from his brother Robert, an Arsenal fan, asking him to go easy on their multi-million pound stars.
