Aston Villa vs Newcastle United

Unai Emery brought Villa’s dismal recent record in the competition to an end last year, taking them past the fourth round for the first time since they were runners-up in 2015. Only five sides have ever won it more than Villa with seven, but they have not got their hands on the trophy since 1957.
It’s been an even longer wait for Newcastle, though: the last of their six FA Cup wins came all the way back in 1955. Another cup run to match last year’s League Cup win would be a welcome boost for under-pressure Eddie Howe.
Burnley vs Mansfield Town

Arsenal vs Wigan Sun 4:30pm
Arsenal will be expecting victory over League One Wigan (Image credit: Getty Images)There’s another Premier League vs League One clash on offer in North London this weekend as two sides with pretty recent FA Cup pedigree go head to head.
Arsenal needed a penalty shootout to get past then-Championship outfit and reigning FA Cup holders Wigan last time they met, which in the semi-finals of this competition back in 2014.
Mikel Arteta took the first of Arsenal’s penalties at Wembley that day – and the Gunners boss will be hoping for a more straightforward time of it on Sunday at 4:30pm.
