"Mansfield Town's reward for their victory over Burnley is a home tie against Premier League leaders Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup. The League One side came from behind to win 2-1 at Turf Moor on Saturday, with Louis Reed's stunning 80th-minute free-kick sending Mansfield through. Indeed, Mansfield's Nigel Clough will now face Arsenal as a manager for the first time."
"Elsewhere, the standout tie will see Manchester City renew their rivalry with Newcastle United at St. James' Park in a repeat of their recent two-legged EFL Cup semi-final. Chelsea have been handed a difficult test with a trip to Hollywood-owned Wrexham, while Liverpool travel to Molineux to face Premier League strugglers Wolves. Leeds United will face Philippe Clement's Norwich City at Elland Road, while Port Vale or Bristol City, whose fourth-round tie was postponed, will host Sunderland."
