Current holders City thrashed Huddersfield as Kevin De Bruyne made his long-awaited return from injury. West Ham, meanwhile, were held to a draw by Bristol City on a frustrating day for David Moyes.

Despite labouring for much of the contest, Spurs had Pedro Porro to thank after the full-back scored a fantastic goal late on to beat Burnley on Friday night.

Chelsea made a slow start against Championship side Preston, but improved after the break to ease to a 4-0 win.

Earlier in the FA Cup week, Fulham edged past Rotherham to make it into the next round, while Brentford were held to a replay by Wolves.

A five-day affair was planned for round three and kicked off on Thursday night between Crystal Palace and Everton, with the two set for a replay after contesting a goalless draw.

To finish off, Wigan of League One host Manchester United on Monday night in a game which will take place only moments after the fourth round is drawn.
