Arsenal's quadruple bid will be on the line when they travel to face League One outfit Mansfield Town in the Emirates FA Cup fifth round, one of eight ties to be shown live on TNT Sports and discovery+ next month.
The current Premier League leaders will face a stern test when they arrive at Field Mill, with Mansfield already knocking out top-tier opposition in the form of Burnley in the previous round.
With the title race heating up, progression in the FA Cup could help calm the nerves in north London, and that's what Mikel Arteta will be hoping for on Saturday, March 7 with kick-off at 12:15 (UK time).
Later that day, there is an all-Premier League clash as Newcastle United host Manchester City in front of the TNT Sports cameras at 20:00.
City are also on for a quadruple - they face Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final - so a victory would continue those aspirations.
Also on Saturday, Liam Rosenior looks to continue his excellent start to life as Chelsea manager as his team travel to Wales to face Wrexham, with kick-off at 17:45.
Backed by their Hollywood owners, Wrexham have high hopes of achieving promotion to the Premier League this season and a test against Chelsea could be a good benchmark for the rest of their campaign.

There is a triple header of games on Sunday, March 8, starting with Fulham hosting Southampton.
Port Vale or Bristol City - who will play their fourth round game on Tuesday, March 3 after their initial tie was postponed due to the pitch being deemed unplayable - take on Sunderland. Leeds United v Norwich City concludes the day's action.
The fifth round will close with another all-Premier League tie as West Ham United host Brentford at 19:30 on Monday, March 9.
West Ham's relegation escape efforts appear to be heating up and Brentford are one of the surprise packages in the Premier League this season, so it could make for an exciting encounter.
The FA Cup fifth round weekend begins with Wolverhampton Wanderers hosting Liverpool on Friday, March 6 at 20:00.
