Stoke City produced a solid 3-1 victory over League Two side Stevenage to find their way into the 5th Round of the cup. Brighton’s path to meet Stoke at this stage was arguably much tougher, having drawn Liverpool in their 4th Round.

The Seagulls, however, prevailed over Jurgen Klopp’s men after coming back from a goal down. Kaoru Mitoma’s stoppage time goal tipped the scales at the last breath and Brighton made it through to meet Stoke City.

Man City had Premier League table toppers Arsenal to deal with in their 4th Round of the cup. Deal with the Gunners they did, and the Citizens came away with a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to a Nathan Aké finish at the 64 minute mark.

Bristol City had a familiar opponent in West Brom for their 4th Round, with the two EFL Championship teams battling it out at Ashton Gate on the 28th of January. West Brom sat a full 7 positions higher than Bristol in their league table going into the FA Cup clash. Despite this, the Robins pulled off a convincing 3-0 victory that included a brace for 20 year old Sam Bell.

Erik ten Hag’s men gave Championship side Reading a miserable 4th Round on the 28th, earning a 3-1 victory at Old Trafford. A brace from Casemiro was complimented by a contribution from Fred, with a single consolation goal coming for Reading via Amadou Salif Mbengue late in the game. The Royals also saw Andy Carroll sent off for a clumsy and damaging tackle on Cristian Eriksen shortly before United added their 3rd goal of the night to the scoreboard.
