"Arsenal survived a scare as they visited Mansfield Town in the fifth round, where the match was level at 1-1 with 50 minutes played, but an Eberechi Eze rocket ensured their progression. They will visit Southampton in the next stage of the competition."
"Chelsea also subjected their supporters to a nervous watch at the weekend as they allowed Wrexham to take them to extra-time at the Racecourse Ground. They denied the Welsh outfit and their Hollywood owners the dream finish they were in the market for, though, as George Dobson was sent off in second-half injury time, allowing the Blues to put the tie to bed with goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Joao Pedro."
"Liam Rosenior will hope for a more routine outing as he hosts League One strugglers Port Vale, the lowest-ranked side still in the competition. There will be another all Premier League tie completing the order as Leeds, who got the better of Norwich last time out, visit either West Ham or Brentford."
