Preparing for a set-piece onslaught from Arsenal will be the focus for Mansfield Town as the League One side tries to add to its run of FA Cup upsets, says Stags boss Nigel Clough. Hosting Mikel Arteta's Premier League leading Gunners in the fifth round on Saturday is the Nottinghamshire club's reward for knocking top-flight side Burnley out of the competition in February. Before that, the third-tier side got past Championship club Sheffield United with a thrilling 4-3 win at Bramall Lane. But in terms of the open play and what their individuals can do, it will be bit more difficult to prepare for that. "Anybody in their squad of 25 that they do play will be at an incredible level."
