League One Mansfield Town will try to summon some more FA Cup magic when they host Premier League leaders Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Mansfield stunned Premier League strugglers Burnley with a 2-1 comeback win at Turf Moor in round four, a victory that followed a similarly impressive win on the road against Championship Sheffield United in round three.
Nigel Clough's side have been rewarded with a home tie at Field Mill against the leading team in England this season. Mikel Arteta's side lead Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, who they will also face in the final of the Carabao Cup on March 22.
Like Arsenal, City remain in contention for all four major competitions, although they faced a tougher route to the FA Cup quarterfinals on paper, having been drawn away to Newcastle. Pep Guardiola's men beat the Magpies 5-1 on aggregate in their Carabao Cup semifinal.
Wrexham's Hollywood story has had its own chapter in this season's FA Cup and they will be treated to a clash with one of English football's modern heavyweights when eight-time winners Chelsea visit the Racecourse Ground.
