Arsenal are in desperate need of a morale boost following their 10-2 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.The north London club are at a very low ebb with Arsenal sitting outside the Premier League's top four, manager Arsene Wenger under intense pressure and rumours of a potential player exodus in the summer, perMatt Law, Jason Burt and Jeremy Wilsonin theTelegraph.A victory over non-league Lincoln City in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday is an absolute must in order to prevent a full-blown crisis.Read on for all the latest team news and a preview of the Emirates Stadium clash, as well as scheduling and viewing information.Date:Saturday, March 11Time:5:30 p.m. GMT, 12:30 p.m. ETTV Info:BT Sport 2 (UK), Fox Sports 2 (U.S.)Live Stream:BT Sport Player,Fox Sports GoTeam NewsPer theEvening Standard's Alex Young, Wenger is likely to give some of his squad players a run-out against the Imps with goalkeeper David Ospina set to keep his place from midweek and the likes ofRob Holding, Jeff Reine-Adelaide andAinsley Maitland-Niles in line for a start.Meanwhile, Danny Welbeck, Alex Iwobi and Mesut Ozil are all doubts due to illness, per theStandard's James Olley:Lincoln loaneeLee Angol, who netted a hat-trick in their last match againstBraintree Town, is ineligible to face Arsenal having already played in the FA Cup this season forparent club Peterbrough United, per Young.Possible Arsenal XI:Ospina;Gabriel, Mustafi, Holding, Gibbs; Xhaka, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Reine-Adelaide; Walcott, Giroud, PerezPossible Lincoln City XI:Farman; Wood, Waterfall, Raggett, Habergham; Arnold, Woodyard, Power, Hawkridge; Muldoon, RheadPreviewThe FA Cup is Arsenal's final chance of winning any major silverware this season, and despite the Gunners' recent woes, they should advance to the semi-finals with a victory in Saturday's clash.Anything other than a convincing win for the Gunners is likely to draw more criticism for Wenger and his side.But the Frenchman will likely be delighted with any result that takes him one step closer to winning a record seventh FA Cup as manager.Lincoln will be the first non-league side in 103 years to take part in an FA Cup quarter-final when they take on Arsenal, and they have enjoyed a brilliant run this season.Their 1-0 away win against Burnley in the fifth round was one of the great shocks in the tournament's history, and they will likely use similar tactics against Arsenal in a bid to reach the semi-finals.Against the Clarets at Turf Moor Lincoln produced an exemplary defensive performance to keep the hosts out beforeSean Raggett netted an 89th-minute winner from a set piece.The same approach could pay dividends against Arsenal, especially if Lincoln can use their physicality and organisation to disrupt the Gunners defence when they do get opportunities.However, in all likelihood, Arsenal will have too much quality for Lincoln to handle.They may have endured a torrid few weeks, but Arsenal remain one of the best teams in the Premier League, and they are 88 places above Lincoln in the English football pyramid.Were Saturday's quarter-final clash at Sincil Bank the chances of Lincoln causing another upset would be better.But there seems little chance of Arsenal falling to a defeat against the Imps at the Emirates.They have much more effective firepower than Burnley and will look to break Lincoln's resistance early to create a more open match, which should play into the hands of the likes of Theo Walcott, Lucas Perez and Olivier Giroud.
