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 Macclesfield stunning the country with a win over 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 — not Macclesfield Town — are 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.
Weston-super-Mare come from the National League South and have never finished higher than seventh place in their sixth-tier division. They put up a good challenge but ultimately fell 3-2 to Grimsby Town on Saturday.
