Burnley, Everton, QPR, Hull City and Newcastle crashed out in round three, but 15 Premier League clubs remain in the FA Cup.
Ahead of round four, which kicks off tonight, we have predicted the results of all 32 matches.
Cambridge United 0-3 Manchester United
League Two Cambridge have won their last three games in all competitions. However, Louis van Gaal is expected to field his strongest XI, which should see the away side win comfortably.
Birmingham City 0-1 West Bromwich Albion
West Brom have not conceded a goal in their three matches since Tony Pulis became manager. Another clean sheet should see them into found five.
Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Swansea City
Rovers have failed to score in their last two home games, while Swansea, who smashed six past Tranmere in round three, have found the net in their last six matches on the road.
Cardiff City 2-1 Reading
Cardiff have beaten Reading in all of their past three meetings.
Chelsea 5-0 Bradford City
This should be a cruise for Jose Mourinho’s Blues.
Derby County 3-1 Chesterfield
The FA Cup is not high on Derby’s list of priorities, but, after losing to Nottingham Forest last weekend, Rams boss Steve McClaren will be determined to avoid another home defeat to local opposition.
Manchester City 2-0 Middlesbrough
Boro have conceded just one goal in their last six games, so it may not be easy for City to break them down. However, the Premier League champions should have enough quality to get the job done inside 90 minutes.
Preston North End 0-2 Sheffield United
The Blades have an incredible cup record under Nigel Clough and the Yorkshire side are unbeaten in their last three games against Preston.
Southampton 3-1 Crystal Palace
The Saints will be well up for this one, as Ronald Koeman’s side will want to make up for their shock League Cup defeat to Sheffield United.
Sunderland 3-1 Fulham
There have been 14 goals in Fulham’s last three games, so this could be entertaining. Jermain Defoe will fancy his chances of opening his account for Sunderland, who will start the game as strong favourites.
Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Leicester City
Spurs have won their last four games at White Hart Lane. Wednesday’s 1-0 victory over Sheffield United was a struggle, but Leicester should be more adventurous than the Blades, allowing Tottenham to punish them on the break.
Liverpool 2-0 Bolton Wanderers
Bolton’s form has improved significantly since former Liverpool star Emile Heskey came into the team. However, Heskey’s Anfield return is unlikely to be a happy one.
Bristol City 2-1 West Ham United
League One promotion favourites Bristol City have won 10 of the last 12 games, so they are high on confidence. Ashton Gate could well be the scene of this weekend’s biggest upset.
Aston Villa 0-2 Bournemouth
Premier League strugglers Villa have only scored one goal in their last six matches, while Championship leaders Bournemouth have netted an impressive 57 times in 27 league games this season. It would hardly be a surprise if there was another away win at Villa Park on Sunday.
Brighton & Hove Albion 1-3 Arsenal
Defending champions Arsenal should have very little trouble seeing off Brighton, who are firmly in the bottom half of the Championship.
Rochdale 0-2 Stoke City
A common worry for Premier League teams ahead of a cup tie at a lower side is that they might struggle to match their opponents in terms of physicality. However, that will not be a concern for Stoke, who should progress on Monday.
