League One Mansfield were handed a home draw against Premier League leaders Arsenal in the FA Cup fifth round draw on Monday as Newcastle face Manchester City.
Mansfield produced the only shock of note so far in the fourth round by coming from behind to win 2-1 at top tier Burnley on Saturday.
Arsenal put third tier opposition to the sword on Sunday as four first-half goals beat Wigan 4-0 at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta's men remain on course for an unprecedented quadruple, as do City, but Pep Guardiola's men face a far tougher fifth draw draw.
City dumped Newcastle out of the League Cup earlier this month and the sides will meet for a fifth time this season in the last 16.
