The Gunners currently sit top of the Premier League standings and also lead their group in the UEFA Champions League after recording a flawless group-stage run, winning all their matches.
Their dominance extends across domestic competitions, with Mikel Arteta’s men already booking a place in the final of the EFL Cup while also progressing to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
The official FA Cup fifth-round draw has now paired Arsenal with Mansfield Town, setting up an intriguing clash as the Gunners continue their push for silverware on multiple fronts.
Other notable ties from the draw include Newcastle United hosting Manchester City, while Wolverhampton Wanderers face Liverpool.
