<\/div>

It is FA Cup weekend once again, and we are approaching the business end of the 2025-26 competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fifth round is always a fantastic occasion on the sporting calendar, with eight matches scheduled to take place from Friday to Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

So get ready for more footballing fun by checking out our sports betting<\/strong><\/a> tips, all of them based on the latest available FA Cup odds<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

*All odds are subject to change<\/b><\/p>\n

Mansfield vs Arsenal: Anytime goalscorer – Gabriel Jesus @ 1.53<\/b><\/h2>\n

Mikel Arteta will make wholesale changes to his starting XI here, with Arsenal travelling to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League next midweek. So Jesus should get the nod, having started against Portsmouth and Wigan in the previous rounds. The Brazilian is still a high-quality operator, and can certainly inflict misery upon the defence of Mansfield – who sit 16th in the League One table. Jesus scored Arsenal\u2019s fourth goal in the 4-0 over Wigan in the fourth round.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrexham vs Chelsea: Total goals – Over 3.5 @ 2.20<\/b><\/h2>\n

This Saturday clash at the Racecourse Ground has all the ingredients of an FA Cup classic. Wrexham are flying high in the Championship, while Chelsea are one of the Premier League big boys looking to avoid a giant killing. The last time Wrexham played a top-flight side in this competition was in the third round, a 3-3 draw vs Nottingham Forest which was decided by a penalty shootout. So we expect goals here, particularly as Chelsea\u2019s last two matches against Championship opposition – both of them away from home – saw over 3.5 scored in each. A 5-1 win at Charlton was followed by a 4-0 victory at Hull.<\/span><\/p>\n

Newcastle vs Manchester City: Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.47<\/b><\/h2>\n

One of three all-Premier League ties in the fifth round. Saturday\u2019s late game will be the fifth meeting between Newcastle and Man City this season, with three of the previous four seeing both teams score. So you can see why we are opting for this selection, particularly as recent matches at St James\u2019 Park have been goal-filled affairs. Wednesday night\u2019s 2-1 win over Manchester United means 18 goals have been scored in the Magpies\u2019 last four home games across all competitions. Of course, both teams found the back of the net in each, making this bet look close to a banker.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeds to beat Norwich @ 1.44<\/b><\/h2>\n

Leeds have been drawn into the Premier League relegation battle, so this FA Cup tie represents a good opportunity to build confidence levels ahead of the run-in. However, the match is perhaps not as simple as it would have looked earlier in the season. Norwich have lifted themselves out of the Championship drop zone, winning five of the last six matches across all competitions – keeping clean sheets in four of them. So this may very well be a stern test of Leeds\u2019 credentials, though Daniel Farke\u2019s men should still have more than enough to get the win, particularly with an Elland Road crowd in full voice.<\/span><\/p>\n
