League One Mansfield Town will look to pull off an FA Cup shock when they take on English Premier League leaders Arsenal this weekend. 

The third-tier side overcame Premier League opposition in the last round, as they came from 1-0 down to defeat Burnley away from home.

That result would have been a huge shock to begin with, given that manager Nigel Clough’s side hadn’t won any of their previous five matches in the build-up to that tie.

In fact, the Stags haven’t won any of their nine League One matches, form that has seen them dip to 16th in the table.

They now take on an Arsenal side who remain in contention for all four competitions, in which they contest.

The Gunners extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to seven points after Wednesday’s victory away to Brighton.

Manager Mikel Arteta’s side defeated Portsmouth and Wigan to reach this stage of the FA Cup, whilst they also prepare to face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final later this month.

What are the best bets for Mansfield vs Arsenal?

I cannot see anything but a convincing Arsenal victory in this game, given the form of both sides and the gulf in quality between the three divisions.

Arsenal scored four goals against both Portsmouth and Wigan, so I expect to see more of the same in this match.

The Gunners to win and over 3.5 away goals will be my bet, with Mansfield unable to lay a glove on the Premier League leaders.

Arsenal are expected to rotate their squad ahead of an important UEFA Champions League tie against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday, so picking a goalscorer is difficult.

Gabriel Martinelli has scored four FA Cup goals this season, so he will be my pick should he start the game.
