Sutton vs Arsenal: Will Paul Doswell be 'vaping' next to Arsene Wenger?

The prospect of Paul Doswell "vaping" beside Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is one that still hasn't sunk in for the Sutton United manager's son.

Doswell has developed a reputation of late for vaping on the touchline, being caught on camera inhaling the vapour from a device during Sutton's 0-0 FA Cup draw against AFC Wimbledon earlier in the competition.

Sutton went on to win the replay 3-1 and then beat Leeds at Gander Green Lane to set up a fairytale fifth-round tie against Wenger's Premier League heavyweights - and it all seems a bit surreal for Doswell's son Connor.

Doswell Jr. wrote on Twitter in the build-up to the game: "I still don't think it's sunk in that my old man will be vapeing on the side line next to Arsene Wenger tonight."

Sutton boss Doswell, who will present Wenger with a £300 bottle of red wine on Monday, believes a draw against Arsenal will rank among the greatest shocks in the world's oldest club competition.

"The best result for the players would be a 0-0," added Doswell. "If we were to get a draw and we could get back to the Emirates Stadium it would be one of the biggest results in the cup's history and for the players.

"I think half of my team support Arsenal, so the chance for them to go to the Emirates and just have a great day out would be their preferred result."
