Arsenal<\/a> will be looking to avoid an upset when they take on Mansfield Town in the 5th round of the FA Cup<\/a> at the One Call Stadium this afternoon.<\/p>\n The Gunners are leading the way in the Premier League<\/a>, have a Carabao Cup final coming up and a Champions League<\/a> last-16 tie with Bayer Leverkusen to navigate.\u00a0 Therefore, it\u2019s no surprise that Mikel Arteta<\/a> has taken the opportunity to rotate his squad today and it appears he\u2019s also switched-up formation to play a back three.<\/p>\n David Raya is given a rest with Kepa Arrizabalaga recalled to start between the sticks. William Saliba<\/a> and Gabriel Magalhaes aren\u2019t involved in the squad while Jurrien Timber is on the bench along with Piero Hincapie.<\/p>\n Cristhian Mosquera is recalled to start along with Riccardo Calafiori while 16-year-old Marli Salmon gets a chance to impress in a new-look back three.<\/p>\n Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice<\/a> are given the day off so Christian Norgaard starts in the holding role with Kai Havertz<\/a> back in the starting eleven as he continues to build-up his fitness.\u00a0Max Dowman is also given a chance to impress and it will be exciting to see what the highly-rated 16-year-old can do against Mansfield today.<\/p>\n Bukayo Saka<\/a> is given a breather as he\u2019s named on the bench so Noni Madueke is recalled to start in the Arsenal attack. Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard both start while Gabriel Jesus<\/a> replaces Viktor Gyokeres in a very attacking Arsenal line-up.<\/p>\n Eberechi Eze, Saka and Gyokeres are attacking options from the bench while youngsters Andre Harriman-Annous, Jaden Dixon and Ide Ibrahim all make the squad.<\/p>\n Here are the confirmed line-ups for the game:<\/p>\n Roberts; <\/span>Knoyle<\/span>, Oshilaja, Blake-Tracy; Akins, Abbot, Reed, McLaughlin; Evans, Roberts; Oates.<\/span><\/p>\n Subs: H.Lewis, Hewitt, Bowery, A.Lewis, Hendry, Moriah-Welsh, Irow, Evans, Adeboyejo<\/p>\n Arrizabalaga, Salmon, Mosquera, Calafiori, Norgaard, Havertz, Trossard, Madueke, Dowman, Martinelli, Jesus.<\/p>\n Subs: Setford, Hincapie, Saka, Eze, Timber, Gyokeres, Dixon, Harriman-Annous, Ibrahim.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
