Arsenal face Mansfield test as Man City draw Newcastle in FA Cup

Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester City face tricky FA Cup fifth-round trips to Mansfield and Newcastle respectively.

PREMIER League leaders Arsenal will travel to third-tier Mansfield Town in the FA Cup fifth round.

The draw, conducted on Monday, also paired Newcastle United with holders Manchester City in a heavyweight tie.

Mansfield produced the standout shock of the fourth round by winning 2-1 at Premier League side Burnley. Arsenal eased past another League One side, Wigan Athletic, with a 4-0 victory on Sunday.

Both Arsenal and Manchester City remain in contention for an unprecedented quadruple this season. City eliminated Newcastle from the League Cup earlier this month, with this being the fifth meeting between the sides this campaign.

Chelsea face a trip to Hollywood-backed Wrexham, who knocked out Nottingham Forest in a previous round. Liverpool will travel to face Wolverhampton Wanderers, who currently sit bottom of the Premier League.

National League side Macclesfield, who stunned Crystal Palace, host Brentford on Monday. The winner of that tie will earn a trip to West Ham United in the next round.
