Mansfield Town will face Arsenal in the FA Cup sixth round on Saturday at the One Call Stadium. The League One side reached this stage after defeating Sheffield Wednesday in the previous round. Owners John and Carolyn Radford described the preparation for the televised fixture as a significant undertaking for the club, according to Sky Sports.
Arsenal currently lead the Premier League table following a recent victory against Everton, per the Premier League. Manager Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his squad for the trip to Nottinghamshire. The Stags have sold out the 9,000-capacity stadium for the encounter.
Work at the ground included installing temporary media facilities and upgrading floodlights to meet broadcast requirements. This is the first meeting between the two teams since 1993. Carolyn Radford told reporters the club had to organise logistics rapidly following the draw. Mansfield occupy a mid-table position in League One as they balance cup commitments with league fixtures.
