Today saw four more tie played with the final tie between Crawley and Derby being played tomorrow. The one o'clock kick-off the highly anticipated tie at Old Trafford where Manchester United played Liverpool. Kenny Dalglish was temporarily in charge after Roy Hodgson's dismissal yesterday. In truth, the game was over after half an hour. Manchester United were awarded a penalty after just thirty seconds when Aurelio brought Berbatov down, although the Bulgarian did go down rather easily, Ryan Giggs converted the goal. Liverpool were then down to ten men after half an hour when Gerrard went in two footed against Carrick and was rightly dismissed. United came close to a second just before half-time when Johnny Evans hit the post and should have scored early in the second half when a mad scramble saw Reina and co save themselves about five times in quick succession. Liverpool's only real chance was a free-kick from Aurelio that was neatly saved but United went onto a comfortable 1-0 win.
Tottenham eased past Charlton at White Hart Lane. All three goals were scored in the second half with Andros Townsend giving Spurs the lead just four minutes into it. Defoe made it 2-0 after 58 minutes before netting his second goal just two minutes later.
Chelsea's poor run of form may have been well and truly kicked into touch by thrashing manager less Ipswich. Paul Jewell is expected to take over after Roy Keane was given his marching orders and will be glad he didn't take charge of this one. Danny Sturridge opened the scoring after 33 minutes before Kalou made it 2-0 a minute later. Carlos Edwards then netted into his own goal four minutes before half-time to make it 3-0. The second half got worse for Ipswich with Anelka making it 4-0 four minutes after the restart, Danny Sturridge then scored his second two minutes later. There was still enough time for Lampard to score twice in a minute after the 79th minute to finish the game 7-0.
Leicester managed to force a replay against Manchester City with a 2-2 draw at the Walkers Stadium. Leicester took the lead inside a minute when Sol Bamba scored his first goal in English football. James Milner equalised for City after 23 minutes before Tevez scored a crucial goal just before half-time. Leicester weren't to be denied and scored their equaliser after 64 minutes through Andy King.
