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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

After Brentford beat giant-killers Macclesfield in their fourth-round meeting on Monday night, they will face a fellow top-flight side from London in the form of West Ham United, at the London Stadium.<\/p>\n

Having booked their place in the fifth round for the first time in 29 years by beating Ipswich Town on Saturday, Wrexham have been handed a dream clash with eight-time winners Chelsea at the Racecourse Ground, while 2022 winners Liverpool – into the fifth round for just the fourth time in the last 11 seasons, visit relegation-threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers.<\/p>\n
