omidbasir- Mansfield Town will compete in the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 1975, hosting 14-time champions Arsenal.

The League One side secured their advancement by defeating Premier League underperformers Burnley 2-1 in a remarkable second-half comeback at Turf Moor.

In another highly anticipated matchup, Manchester City will visit Newcastle in one of two all-Premier League encounters, reprising a recent League Cup semi-final.

Non-league team Macclesfield could potentially face their third consecutive top-flight opponent, as either they or Brentford will travel to West Ham in the fifth round after their match on Monday night.

Sunderland has drawn a second consecutive away fixture in the competition, facing Port Vale or Bristol City. Their fourth-round match has been postponed to Tuesday, March 3 due to a waterlogged pitch.

Additionally, Championship promotion contenders Wrexham will welcome eight-time winners Chelsea.

The matches are set to take place over the weekend of March 7-8, and they include:

– Fulham vs. Southampton
– Port Vale or Bristol City vs. Sunderland
