Is Mansfield vs Arsenal on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch FA Cup tie | OneFootball

Premier League leaders Arsenal face League One side Mansfield Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup this afternoon, with both sides looking to book a place in the quarter-finals of the competition.

The Gunners travel north looking to continue their hunt for a potential quadruple and they face the lowest-ranked side left in the competition as they take on Nigel Clough’s Mansfield.

The Stags got past another Premier League side in the last round though, beating struggling Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor to earn a chance to face the best team in the country.

And while Mikel Arteta’s side will be confident of booking a place in the last eight at Field Mill, a much-changed starting XI will need a professional performance to book their place in the quarter-finals.

When is Mansfield Town vs Arsenal?

The match is scheduled to kick off at 12.15pm on Saturday, 7 March at Field Mill in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

How can I watch it?

Viewers can watch the match live in the UK on TNT Sports 1, with coverage starting at 11am. Subscribers can also stream the action on discovery+.

Team news

William Saliba could make a return for Arsenal but will likely not be risked in this type of tie, with the same going for Martin Odegaard. Ben White will likely miss out on the squad, while Mikel Merino remains the only long-term absentee.

Kai Havertz, Max Dowman and Gabriel Martinelli will be among those looking to start in a starting XI that will likely see wholesale changes, but Myles Lewis-Skelly misses out through suspension.

Mansfield XI: Roberts; Akins, Oshilaja, Blake-Tracy; Reed; Bolton, Russell. Abbott, Irow; Oates.
