WHAT WAS SAID?

Dean Brennan: “It's great for the football club to be on live TV and we're looking forward to a good game. Sutton are in fine form, they had a great game last weekend (5-1 vs King's Lynn) that we went down and watched, they've got a lot of pace, a lot of experience and are a good team."

WHO TO WATCH FOR

Dean Bouzanis: Sutton have the joint-best defensive record in the league and Dean Bouzanis in the sticks has played a big part in keeping that record so far this season. The Australian shot stopper joined the U's from A-League side Melbourne City and at aged 30, is well in his prime.
