Mansfield Town boss Nigel Clough says he will not let the upcoming FA Cup tie with Arsenal distract him from the club's league campaign.
The Stags lost 1-0 at Blackpool on Tuesday and are six points above the League One relegation zone.
"I won't even think about the Arsenal game, or whenever it is," Clough told BBC Radio Nottinghamshire.
"We need to get some points as soon as we can."
Mansfield's defeat at Bloomfield Road came a little over 24 hours after the FA Cup fifth-round draw that paired them with Mikel Arteta's Premier League leaders.
The tie with the Gunners was their reward for winning 2-1 at top-flight Burnley in round four.
But Clough says he is only concentrating on securing the extra two points his side needs to go beyond the 40-point mark that he believes will edge them closer to guaranteed safety.
"It's of absolutely zero interest to me at the moment," Clough said about the Arsenal game.
"It's just [about] winning points. We need to get back to clean sheets.
"I was very disappointed with the goal we conceded [at Blackpool]. We maybe need to go back to those boring 0-0s to get us a couple of points on the board.
"We can't get to this 40-point mark at the moment."
