Mansfield v Arsenal betting offer: Bet £10 and get £50 in free bet builders with Sky Bet

Mansfield host Arsenal in the FA Cup fifth round at the Once Call Stadium on Saturday.

The Stags have reached this stage of the competition for the first time in 51 years, but could they really pull off one of the greatest upsets in FA Cup history?

Sky Bet are offering new customers £50 in bet builders to those who place a £10 bet builder on any of this season’s football, an offer which can be claimed by following this link*.

Nigel Clough is in no doubt of the enormity of the challenge of beating the current Premier League leaders, but will also draw on Macclesfield’s victory over holders Crystal Palace for inspiration to produce yet another giant killing.

“I think Macclesfield’s exploits this season have really re-awoken everybody to the possibilities of the FA Cup,” Clough said.

“You just had a team from National League North go and knock out the holders. These sorts of shocks can happen.”

Arsenal are the record holders of this competition, sweeping up 14 FA Cup victories and are the bookies favourites to regain their title for first time since 2020.

Clough, said he doesn’t want his team to take the eye off the ball of ensuring League One status for next season. But did admit “they could easily demolish us”, so enjoying the game and the possibilities it presents will be driving them on.

Arsenal have played three League 1 clubs in domestic competition this season, two away from home.

They beat Port Vale 2-0 in the League Cup, before comfortable victories Portsmouth 4-1 and Wigan 4-0 in the FA Cup.

Pompey scored early before Arsenal took control and finished the job in style. Both teams to score could see some value, particularly if Mikel Arteta rotates his squad heavily, with their Champions League last 16 tie on the horizon.

Arteta may rotate his goalkeeper with Kepa Arrizabalaga in the sticks, youngsters Myles Lewis-Skelly and Marli Salmon should get plenty of gametime. While the likes of Christian Norgaard, and Cristhian Mosquera should start.

Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard are working their way back from injury and could link-up to great effect in attack.
