Game Preview
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal remain in the hunt for all four major honors this season, and a favorable draw in the fifth round of the FA Cup ensures that they will have their sights set on a trip to Wembley in May.
The Gunners have been reliable against lower league opposition already this term, beating both Wigan Athletic and Portsmouth with ease. Arsenal’s confidence should be high following a 1-0 win over Brighton, which extended their advantage at the top of the EPL standings to seven points.
However, the Gunners have failed to progress further than the fifth round since winning the competition in 2019-20.
A huge date for Mansfield Town is set for this Saturday, but they will be huge outsiders to cause one of the greatest cup upsets in the history of the FA Cup. They currently sit 16th in the League One standings, having won just ten of their last 33.
Meanwhile, their recent form is exceptionally poor, having failed to win in their previous four since beating Premier League Burnley in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Offensive issues could hinder their chances, as Mansfield have failed to score in three of their last four.
Mansfield vs. Arsenal Picks
Arsenal’s defensive-minded style of play limits the chances of an upset this weekend, and they are expected to cruise through to the next round of the FA Cup with a 3-0 win. Therefore, the spread offers the only real avenue of value.
