The lowest-ranked team in the fifth round of the Emirates FA Cup will host the highest-ranked side in the competition on Saturday, as Mansfield Town welcome Arsenal to Field Mill, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.
Mansfield are one of two League One sides to have reached the fifth round, alongside Port Vale, and will now be dreaming of a giant-killing with the Premier League leaders in town.
Nigel Clough’s side have already beaten one top-flight outfit this season, knocking out Burnley in the previous round with a 2-1 win at Turf Moor, following victories over Harrogate Town, Accrington Stanley and Sheffield United.
They are now just one win away from a first FA Cup quarter-final in over 50 years, but standing in their way are the competition’s record winners.
The Gunners are targeting their 15th FA Cup, while continuing to compete on all four fronts this season and are arguably the favourites for each trophy they are gunning for.Â
Despite their historic success in the competition and their overall improvements under Mikel Arteta, the north London side have not reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in any of the last five seasons.

The last time they did was in 2019/20, when they went on to lift the trophy as Arteta claimed his first and what remains his only major trophy with the club - a record the Spaniard will be confident of changing in the coming months.Â
Arsenal have breezed through their opening two games in the competition, beating Portsmouth 4-1 at Fratton Park before claiming a 4-0 win at home over Wigan Athletic, with all four goals coming in the first half.
