Arsenal will look to continue their quest for a quadruple this season on Saturday lunchtime as they travel to Field Mill to take on League One side Mansfield Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
WATCH HERE;
It was a good midweek for Arsenal, as their 0-1 victory at Brighton & Hove Albion, coupled with Manchester City’s surprise 2-2 draw at home to relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest, extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to seven points, albeit they have played a game more than the Cityzens.
The Gunners now turn their attention to the FA Cup this weekend, where they have already eased past lower league opposition, winning 1-4 away at Championship side Portsmouth before defeating League One Wigan Athletic 4-0 – on an afternoon both of my selections landed.
However, they take on a Mansfield Town side who have knocked out Championship side Sheffield United 3-4 at Bramall Lane, before winning 1-2 at Turf Moor against Premier League strugglers Burnley in the previous round.
However, Nigel Clough’s hosts are in the midst of a nine-game winless run in League One after playing out a goalless draw away at Rotherham United at the weekend, leaving the Stags in 16th position, just five points outside of the relegation zone.
