Eight Premier League sides in the last 16 of the FA Cup and they all avoided each other. Although, there were also two non league teams.
One of those - Sutton United - got an absolute dream draw. When you reach this stage, you don't really fancy an away game (like other non-league team Lincoln City got against Burnley). You want a major name at home to get the revenue.
Sutton got that. Arsene Wenger will bring Arsenal to Gander Green Lane over the weekend of the 17th-20th of February. An astro turf pitch as already seen the likes of Leeds and Cheltenham fall. Now Mesut Ozil and co have to deal with the rabid 5,013 fans packed in.
A good chunk of that capacity were in the ground earlier while the draw was being made. Hoping, praying for a 'bigger' name than Cambridge or Leeds United, like the last round.
So naturally, when Robbie Savage pulled the Gunners out of the bowl, pandemonium ensued

Now imagine if they get past the Premier League side. It's not like that's ever happened before...
1989 - The last non-league team to win an FA Cup home game against top-flight opposition were Sutton United vs Coventry in 1989. Gunning.
