The FA Cup continued this weekend with the fourth round of the competition. The third round saw nine Premier League teams eliminated, with Aston Villa’s home defeat to Stevenage among the big upsets.

The action began on Friday night with Premier League leaders Arsenal narrowly losing 1-0 to title rivals Manchester City in a heavyweight clash.

National League leaders Wrexham - who are owned by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney - are the only non-league side left after they drew 3-3 with Sheffield United in a thrilling match on Sunday.

Accrington Stanley couldn’t quite cause an upset when they faced Leeds United at Saturday lunchtime - as the Yorkshire side triumphed 3-1.

Here’s everything you need to know.
