Nigel Clough's side beat Burnley at Turf Moor last weekend to reach the fifth round.

Mansfield's only previous competitive meeting with Arsenal also came in the FA Cup.

The two sides met in the fourth round during the 1928/29 edition of the competition.

On that occasion, Arsenal ran out 2-0 winners at Highbury on their way to reaching the quarter-finals.

Elsewhere, Wrexham have been handed another home tie as they welcome Chelsea to the Racecourse Ground.

The Red Dragons have already knocked out Premier League opposition after seeing off Nottingham Forest on penalties in the third round.

They followed up that victory with a 1-0 win over Ipswich town on Friday night.

Wrexham have not reached the sixth round for 29 years, last doing so in 1997.

The Championship side played out a 2-2 draw with Chelsea during their pre-season tour of the USA in 2024.

However, the two sides have not met in a competitive fixture since 1982, with Wrexham running out 1-0 winners.
