Leo (March 7, 2026), ni siku ya Fifth Round Proper (Raundi ya 5) ya Emirates FA Cup 2025/26. Hii ni hatua ambapo timu za Premier League zinapambana na timu za chini (kama League One, League Two au non-league) kwa uwezekano wa “giant-killing” au maajabu ya kombe hili la kihistoria.
Matokeo ya mechi iliyopita (jana, March 6): Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-3 Liverpool (Liverpool wameingia quarter-finals).
Leo (Saturday, March 7, 2026) mechi tatu kuu zinatarajiwa:

- Stadium: One Call Stadium (au Field Mill), Mansfield
- Saa: 12:15 PM GMT (3:15 PM EAT)
- TV/Streaming: TNT Sports 1, discovery+, ESPN+ (international), BBC iPlayer (UK)
- Maelezo: Arsenal (Premier League leaders na wanaotafuta taji) wanakwenda kucheza na Mansfield Town (timu ya League One). Hii ni mechi ya classic “David vs Goliath” — Mansfield wanaweza kutoa surprise ikiwa watacheza vizuri nyumbani na atmosphere kali. Arsenal wana wachezaji kama Saka, Ødegaard na Havertz, hivyo wao ndio favorites kali. Hii ni mara ya kwanza kukutana tangu 1929 (Arsenal walishinda 2-0).
- Wrexham vs Chelsea
- Stadium: STōK Cae Ras, Wrexham (Wales)
- Saa: 17:45 PM GMT (8:45 PM EAT)
- TV/Streaming: TNT Sports 2, discovery+, BBC One, BBC iPlayer, ESPN+
- Maelezo: Wrexham (timu inayomilikiwa na Ryan Reynolds na Rob McElhenney, sasa Championship au higher baada ya kupanda haraka) inakaribisha Chelsea (Premier League giants). Hii ndiyo mechi ya kuvutia zaidi kwa mashabiki — Wrexham wana hadithi ya Hollywood na mashabiki wengi duniani. Chelsea wana wachezaji kama Palmer, Fernandez na Nkunku, hivyo wanaweza kushinda kwa urahisi, lakini atmosphere ya nyumbani inaweza kutoa fight na uwezekano wa upset. Hii ni mechi ya kihistoria kwa Wrexham.
- Newcastle United vs Manchester City
- Stadium: St. James’ Park, Newcastle
- Saa: 20:00 PM GMT (11:00 PM EAT)

- Maelezo: Mechi ya kilele ya siku! Newcastle (timu inayotafuta nafasi ya juu) inakaribisha Manchester City (defending champions au contenders). Hii ni mechi ya kiwango cha Premier League katika FA Cup — tarajia intensity ya juu, magoli mengi na wachezaji kama Haaland (City) au Isak aliyekuwa Newcastle hapo awali (sasa Liverpool). Newcastle ina faida ya nyumbani na mashabiki wao wazimu, hivyo inaweza kuwa ngumu sana kwa City.
