FA Cup fifth-round draw: League One Mansfield host Arsenal as Man City head to Newcastle


League One side Mansfield Town will host 14-time winners Arsenal in the FA Cup fifth round.

The Stags defeated Premier League stragglers Burnley 2-1 on Saturday afternoon, producing a remarkable second-half comeback at Turf Moor.

Elsewhere, Manchester City will visit Newcastle in one of two all-Premier League ties, in a repeat of one of this season’s League Cup semi-finals.

Sunderland face a second successive away trip in the competition as they were drawn against Port Vale or Bristol City – that fourth-round tie was postponed until Tuesday, 3 March (19:45 GMT) because of a waterlogged pitch.

Meanwhile Championship promotion chasers Wrexham welcome eight-time winners Chelsea.

The matches will be played across the weekend of 7-8 March.
