Why Arsenal players won’t be intimidated by their surroundings at Sutton

The Premier League stars will be taken out of their comfort zones but it's unlikely to shock many players who grew up playing in similar surroundings

Much has been made of the facilities at non-league side Sutton United in the build-up to Monday night’s historic FA Cup tie against Arsenal.

The Vanarama National League outfit will use the revenue gained from their stunning cup run to improve the facilities at Gander Green Lane - but not before Wenger’s side have visited.
