Nigel Clough’s side are attempting to pull off a huge upset today. <\/p>\n

Mansfield are struggling in League One and their last win in the league came against Port Vale in January.<\/p>\n

They are on of nine without a win and are just five points clear of the relegation zone but their FA Cup run has given their supporters some great moments. <\/p>\n

Mansfield Town XI: <\/b>Roberts, Knoyle, Oshilaja, Blake-Tracy, Akins, Abbott, Reed, McLaughlin, Russell, T.Roberts, Oates<\/p>\n

Subs: <\/i>H.Lewis, Hewitt, Bowery, A.Lewis, Hendry, Moriah-Welsh, Irow, Evans, Adeboyejo<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta has made nine changes to the side that beat Brighton in the Premier League in midweek. <\/p>\n

There are starts for 16-year-old’s Marli Salmon, who is making his first start, and Max Dowman who is returning from injury. <\/p>\n

It’s not clear how the Gunners are going to line-up with just three recognised defenders in the starting line-up. <\/p>\n

Arsenal XI: <\/b>Kepa, Salmon, Mosquera, Calafiori, Trossard, Norgaard, Madueke, Havertz, Martinelli, Dowman, Jesus. <\/p>\n

Subs:<\/i> Setford, Hincapie, Saka, Eze, Timber, Gyokeres, Dixon, Harriman-Annous, Ibrahim.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
