Fourteen Premier League teams remain alive for the 2025-26 FA Cup after two upsets and four intra-PL ties helped slim the field for the fourth round draw.
The Premier League’s 20 teams entered the fold for the third round in early January, with Wrexham AFC registering a mild shock of Nottingham Forest and sixth-tier Macclesfield FC stunning the world with a win over reigning FA Cup champions Crystal Palace.

Everton, Bournemouth, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur all exited the competition through more understandable means, done-in by tough opening draws against fellow Premier League sides.
Macclesfield FC — the reincarnation of Macclesfield Town — are now a National League North side managed by John Rooney, the younger brother of Everton and Manchester United hero Wayne Rooney.
They’ve already scored what is being hailed as the biggest shock in FA Cup history by holding on to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the third round. Their reward? They now face another Premier League side, Brentford, for a spot in the last 16. They couldn’t cause another shock, could they?
