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.
The matches will be held from March 6 to 9, 2026.
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.
