FA Cup record winner Arsenal will visit League One club Mansfield Town, while Chelsea have a tough away trip at Championship promotion hopefuls Wrexham after the fifth-round draw was made.
Clubs are now just two wins away from Wembley, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Nigel Clough’s Mansfield booked their date with Arsenal by overturning top-flight Burnley in the last round, and a visit to Field Mill promises to be an interesting fixture.
Elsewhere, Liverpool will welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers in an attempt to continue their momentum into a competition they have rarely featured prominently in in the last few years. Manchester City have another tough game against Newcastle United, who they beat in the Carabao Cup semi-finals earlier this season.
Chelsea, who safely progressed with a 4-0 win against Hull City, face Wrexham in one of the ties of the round; Fulham take on Southampton at home, and Leeds United host Norwich City.
Round five will be held on the weekend of March 7, with clubs having to balance cup ambitions and European pursuits. Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea are all dealing with fixture congestion as the battle for silverware begins to heat up towards the business end of the season.
