Mansfield v Arsenal Tips

Arsenal look set to win through to the next FA Cup round with the simple task of beating Mansfield Town. Even the Arsenal youth team would probably still win.

Arsenal played a very boring game in their 1-0 win over Brighton, with a 40% possession and only 2 shots on target in the whole 90 minutes. I understand Mansfield is one of the most disciplined sides defensively and is even coming off a 0-0 draw with Rotherham. If Arsenal try to play the same game they played against Brighton, it won't be a surprise here if they get an upset from a League One side.

The difference between the two teams will be very big. I expect some goals from the visitors, so I believe an over score is possible in this match.

Arsenal have shown they can keep the best out with a strong defence all season, including in Europe. Hard to see the hosts getting much from this in what looks a mismatch.

Arsenal's second string ought to find this easy going, but they will be pushing to keep a clean sheet. Their record has been good in cup competitions too. Price looks generous.
