The second match sees Arsenal take on Lincoln City at the Emirates.
For Arsenal the nightmare continues, the wins have been few and far between and a 10-2 aggregate defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich has shown Arsenal to be a team rapidly in decline.
For Lincoln it's the opposite, they are on a fairytale cup run that has seen them defeat both Burnley and Brighton. They are also top of the National League by a six point margin, could they produce one of the biggest shocks of all time and beat Arsenal?
Arsenal vs Lincoln City – Saturday 11th March 2017 – 17:30 - BT Sport 2
