The FA Cup returned this weekend as fans were treated to 16 fourth-round fixtures, with plenty of potential for a giant-killing as Premier League sides face lower-tier opposition.

The weekend began early as Manchester United defeated Leicester City on Friday night, before plenty of action on Saturday as Manchester City survived a scare against Leyton Orient, Birmingham were denied a big win by Newcastle and Brighton dumped out Chelsea in one of three all-Premier League ties.

Top-flight leaders Liverpool suffered a stunning defeat against Plymouth on Sunday, with their quadruple hopes dashed in unexpected fashion. Aston Villa take on Tottenham on Sunday evening, with the fourth round wrapping up on Tuesday night (11 February) as League One side Exeter City face high flying Nottingham Forest

The FA Cup draw for the next round will be made ahead of then, however, with all fifth round ties to be played across the weekend of 1 March.
