The road to the Wembley Stadium FA Cup final on May 17 gets shorter with just 16 teams remaining in the competition (technically 20 given that two games from the fourth round are still outstanding) ahead of the fifth round draw.

Undoubtedly, the story of the fourth round was high flying Premier League leaders Liverpool losing out to Plymouth Argyle, the side currently propping up the Championship table.

A 53rd minute spot kick from Ryan Hardie was enough for the ‘Pilgrims’ to advance and deny Arnie Slot and his side the possibility of bagging a quadruple this season.

Chelsea, Tottenham, Everton and Southampton all fell at this fourth round stage with both Manchester clubs (United and City) having to dig deep to progress past Leicester City and Leyton Orient respectively.
