FA Cup 5th Round: Man City To Tackle Newcastle As Arsenal Travel To Mansfield

League One Mansfield Town will host Premier League leaders Arsenal, while Manchester City face a tricky-looking trip to Newcastle United in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Mansfield’s reward for knocking out Premier League outfit Burnley on Saturday, to seal a place in the fifth round for the first time in 50 years, was a glamour tie with Arsenal at the One Call Stadium.

Man City, who have won the famous old trophy on seven occasions – the last of which was three years ago – will need to repeat their Carabao Cup semi-final success over Newcastle if Pep Guardiola’s side are to stay on track for a possible eighth triumph and make up for their shock loss to Crystal Palace in last season’s final at Wembley.

After Brentford beat giant-killers Macclesfield in their fourth-round meeting on Monday night, they will face a fellow top-flight side from London in the form of West Ham United, at the London Stadium.

Other FA Cup fifth-round ties include Wrexham’s home clash with Chelsea, while Wolves host Liverpool; elsewhere, Fulham entertain Southampton, Port Vale or Bristol City face Sunderland and Leeds take on Norwich; ties to be played March 6-9.
