After tasting defeat for the first time in more than two years Arsenal skipper Faye White says it's a feeling she and her teammates don't want anytime soon.

Having swept all before them last season winning an unprecedented quadruple, Arsenal lost their grip on a domestic Cup last month when Everton suprised them at Leyton Orient in The FA Tesco Women's Premier League Cup Final.

But White is adamant that Arsenal are not about to lose their grip on The FA Women's Cup.

"No one wants to lose in Finals, but when you taste that defeat as we did for the first time in two years and 61 games, you don't want it again," White explained.

"It was a long unbeaten run that we were proud of, but we weren't proud of how we played against Everton and we want to put that behind us.

"The FA Women's Cup is the big one for us now, last year with more than 24,000 fans at Nottingham Forest it was an incredible day."

Of Arsenal's opponents White says that having defeated Blackburn in the previous round, Lincoln are a side that deserve respect.

She said: "They beat Blackburn which is a significant result for any team, so we're taking the game very seriously.

"I don't think they've got this far before, Kay Hawke plays for them and she's been involved with England, and she says that a lot of money and effort has been put into the club to develop them.

"Being holders, and also having lost the Premier League Cup Final, we want to make sure that we don't lose our grasp on the FA Women's Cup."
