FA Cup Draw LIVE: Man City Discover Fifth-Round Opponent as Ties Decided
The fifth-round FA Cup draw features eight ties including Premier League leaders Arsenal against League One Mansfield and Manchester City facing Newcastle, with matches set for the weekend of March 7.
- The FA Cup fifth-round draw produced Arsenal v Mansfield and Manchester City v Newcastle, with all ties scheduled around the weekend commencing Saturday, March 7.
- Sixth-Tier Macclesfield's shock win eliminated holders Crystal Palace, while the replays rule change scrapped last season means ties go to extra time and penalty shootout if needed.
- The draw in full lists Fulham v Southampton, Mansfield v Arsenal, Newcastle v Manchester City, with bookmakers listing Mansfield 300/1 and Macclesfield 1000/1 among long shots.
- The immediate effect is clearer home-or-away scenarios for Macclesfield, who will travel to West Ham if they beat Brentford, as Arsenal and Chelsea secured their places with 4-0 wins over Wigan and Hull City.
- Manchester City and Newcastle are set for another repeat meeting, with their FA Cup tie marking a fifth encounter this season before a Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.
