The FA Cup fourth round has largely gone to plan so far with 12 Premier League teams booking their spot in the last 16.
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.

We had another bonafide upset in the fourth round, as League One’s Mansfield Town came back to beat Premier League Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor.
And a sixth-tier side pushed hard to deliver another stunner. 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. An own goal at home to Brentford stopped them from progressing to the fifth round.
An exceptional first half against Wigan 🔥
