The English FA Cup is now into the fourth round after a full weekend of play on Saturday and Sunday and some of the results were surprising, as Manchester United was knocked out of the tournament and while there are a number of matches left to fill in, the standings and draw are set for the next round and those games will come later in January after Man U fell to Swansea and Chelsea won over Derby.
The matches on Sunday saw some tight games and despite losing, Manchester United feels that they played well enough to win and now they must wait until next year, while Sunderland and Nottingham won in convincing fashion, sending Carlisle and West Ham home and in other matches, Liverpool won over Oldham at the Anfield, while Chelsea won against Derby County on the road for their match. On Saturday, Manchester City pulled a draw with Blackburn in the early match, while Everton won big over Queens Park, Cardiff City won over Newcastle in a Premier League matchup, while Fulham and Norwich did the same in a 1-1- draw, while Leeds won their match as well.
Southampton won their match while Crystal Palace won over West Brom and Stoke City came out on top as well, while in the late match Arsenal pulled things out at the Emirates against Tottenham and the two will meet soon enough in the EPL after this match and the Gunners dominated. Stevenage comes into the next round and will play against Everton after previously beating Newscatle and they will get the match at home and now Birmingham City, Bristol Rovers or Crawley Town will be out of a tie at home after Manchester United lost to Swansea and those teams still have the draw to figure out.
Liverpool won against Oldham and they now will face off against Bournemouth and Burton Albion, while Chelsea gets the only Premier League matchup on the draw with a match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and Manchester City now has a looming matchup against Bristol City or Watford if they can get past Blackburn and Nottingham Forest now will face against Ipswich or Preston after winning over West Ham.
