    Remember how we said about that non-exchange between the skippers before kick-off? Watch this...

    It's not at all one-sided. If anything, Arsenal are flustered. Rob Holding gives the ball away and is lucky to see Roarie Deacon's cross drift long of everyone. Sutton might even be the better side.

    I think there was a little bit of contact but Eastmond could have kept going. If he got the cross in someone could have got on the end of it.

    Penalty?! No! Craig Eastmond goes down in a tangle with Nacho Monreal. The whole ground asks the question. The replay shows that Eastmond went down like a wet paper bag.

    That was the first occasion an Arsenal player got free down that left hand side but Sutton had plenty of bodies in the way.

    Every Sutton challenge is roared on. Kevin Amankwaah and Craig Eastmond are mixing it. Ball out of the ground! Mohamed Elneny has skied one down Collingwood Road. Wahey!

    Sutton have played the game very well. Arsenal have been well contained but a bit quiet so far. They're still trying to find their way on the pitch and they'll have to be fully concentrated.

    Sutton have to forget who they're playing and show them no more respect.

    Roarie Deacon is a busy player. Sharp, quick feet and you can see he is really up for this game - as he was against Leeds.

    You know what? Sutton are matching Arsenal here. Roarie Deacon pinches the ball on halfway and is then tripped. Another free-kick pumped in, red centre-halves again having to deal with a dropping bomb. They need helmets on.

    Arsenal cannot all fit into the dugout. Some of the grey tracksuited subs and staff have had to spill out on to seats by the side. Then there's a pitch invader! Not that we condone such behaviour...

    You can tell Arsenal aren't used to the pitch. Sutton are very comfortable and know how the ball runs and where it bounces.

    Arsenal are still trying to find their way.

    Kevin Amankwaah is one of a few Football Manager legends in this Sutton squad. Dean Beckwith too. A free-kick from the Sutton half is pumped long, with a scramble of bodies eventually seeing Sutton win an attacking throw that Arsenal clear.

    There's a cheer every time Sutton put in a tackle, get in a block or win a decision. Simon Downer is there again to stop a red shirt, with the free-kick then going Sutton's way. This is a good watch, end to end.

    Sutton show willing for the first time. Simon Downer looks to feed the ball down the channel, winning a throw. After some head tennis, David Ospina gathers. Sutton have the benefit of the wind at their backs.

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was almost lost amid the swarm of photographers around his dug-out here at Gander Green Lane - never a great sign unless it's your first match in charge.

    In Wenger's case, it is a sign of the scrutiny he is currently under, especially after that 5-1 defeat by Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie.

    It's a bit of a blustery evening so it'll be a test for Arsenal, especially for Ospina in goal.

    If I were Sutton I'd get the pressure on early, let him know he's at a non-league ground.

    Sutton are going to keep asking those questions and give everyone a reminder of where they are.

    It's a wonderful sight, it really is. Imagine a bunch of superstars rocking up to play on the astro at your local leisure centre, watched by the population of the entire town. That's what we've got. You can't help but feel that the evening kick-off has added the extra ingredient.

    Songs all around Sutton, but the home side can't get a kick early on. Theo Walcott tries to wriggle through, but the flag goes up. Big cheer.

    For Sutton it is a case of playing their game, getting through the first 20 minutes and putting the game into blocks. As we saw with Lincoln, anything can happen in the final few minutes.

    Under way. Arsenal in red, Sutton in all gold. Gunners left to right as we look on.
