Team news: Nine changes for visit to Mansfield

Kai Havertz makes his first start since facing Sunderland early last month, as Mikel Arteta rings the changes for our FA Cup fifth round trip to League One side Mansfield Town.

Max Dowman becomes our youngest ever FA Cup player, starting at the age of 16 years and 66 days, making his comeback from injury. It’s his first appearance since playing against Slavia Prague in the Champions League in November.

There’s also a place in the starting XI for another 16 year old - Marli Salmon starts in defence with Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori.

Mosquera and Gabriel Martinelli are the two players to retain their place from our midweek win away to Brighton.
