This victory did come in their last away game, where they beat Northampton 2-0 in a convincing display.
The Us do play an entertaining style of football, as seen last week in their 4-3 thriller against Port Vale in which they came out on top in.
After being 2-0 and 3-2 down, Sutton showed a lot of character to come back and score goals in the 87th and 91st minute.

But if Crawley can nullify the threat of the attack the way they did at Rochdale last weekend, they’ll be looking good for all three points again.
It was a very good display from back-to-front at Rochdale last week, as the Reds picked up their second away win of the season.

With the home form as good as it is, Crawley will see these back-to-back home games as a really good opportunity to pick up a good number of points.
Wins for both these sides last time out means it’s a clash of two of the in-form teams in the division, which always tees up for an entertaining affair.
