Mansfield Town and Arsenal will square off in an FA Cup fifth-round tie on Saturday (March 7th). The game will be played at the One Call Stadium.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a goalless draw away to Rotherham United in League One.
Arsenal, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a narrow 1-0 away win over Brighton in the Premier League. Bukayo Saka broke the deadlock in the ninth minute and his goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The Gunners will shift their focus to the FA Cup, having booked their spot at this stage with a 4-0 home victory against Wigan Athletic in the last round last month. Mansfield completed a shock result as they came from behind to eliminate Burnley with a 2-1 away win.

Mansfield Town vs Arsenal Prediction
Mansfield Town completed a huge shock in the last round as they eliminated Premier League opposition. There is no rest for The Stags as they come up against not just another Premier League opponent but arguably the standout team on the continent at this moment.
Arsenal took a big step towards a maiden Premier League title in 22 years with their win over Brighton. The victory saw Mikel Arteta's side open up a seven-point advantage at the summit, albeit with one more game played than second-placed Manchester City. This has kept their hunt for the quadruple on track.
Barring an unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. We expect the visitors to advance with a multi-goal victory and clean sheet.
