Full-time
Mansfield 1-2 Arsenal
Mikel Arteta's side are into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. They were made to work for it, though. Attack was wasteful at times and Mansfield put up a real fight, too. Thought Dowman was bright, and unlucky not to have a goal or assist.
Wow. What a hit that is.
Eze smashes it home from the edge of the box.
Arsenal 2-1 Mansfield
GOAL. Arsenal. Eze.
Eze and Timber coming on.
Arsenal give the ball away and Evans goes through to score.
Game on!
Mansfield 1-1 Arsenal
GOAL. Mansfield. Evans.
Half-time
Mansfield 0-1 Arsenal
Fair play to the hosts, who gave this a good go in the early stages. Arsenal, understandably, a bit shaky with the back-three and a mixed XI. Dowman decent, and should have scored, but Madueke got the opener. Arsenal better in a back-four now.
Martinelli finds Madueke on the edge of the box, and he curls an effort home.
Mansfield 0-1 Arsenal
GOAL. Arsenal. Madueke.
Change has seen Arsenal go to a back-four. Hincapie alongside Mosquera in the heart of it. Calafiori at left-back.
Trossard having to come off.
Hincapie coming on.
Even on this pitch, Dowman had some lovely touches on the ball. Footwork is so good.
Looks a bit like this?
Kepa
Salmon Mosquera Calafioir
Norgaard
Madueke Dowman Trossard Martinelli
Havertz Jesus
Arsenal out to warm up.
Mansfield fans: “Second again, ole, ole!”
Have to respect it.
Funky team and hard to work out formation.
Maybe:
Kepa
Salmon Mosquera Norgaard Calafiori
Dowman Havertz Trossard Madueke
Jesus Martinelli
Arsenal team is out.
Salmon and Dowman start.
Think I spotted Dixon, Harriman-Annous and Ibrahim - but youngsters all came through in a pack 😅
Arsenal have arrived.
No sign of Rice or Zubimendi.
A fair few youngsters - including Dowman and Salmon.
Arrived at Mansfield - new ground ticked off ✅
Arteta confirmed Saliba is a doubt for the trip to Mansfield.
Good news is that the ankle issue isn’t the one that he did a Liverpool at start of the season. It’s the other ankle.
Mikel Arteta explains why the pitch at Mansfield may impact what team he picks.

Myles Lewis-Skelly being suspended for Arsenal's trip to Mansfield tomorrow is a blow.
Mikel Arteta may have just five first-team defenders available.
Chance for Marli Salmon to get minutes - and maybe Jaden Dixon.

As Fabian Hurzeler raged by the touchline, Piero Hincapie simply put his finger to his lips.
Arsenal are pantomime villains in this title race - and they’re happy to lean into that.
