Chelsea 1-1 Birmingham: Andre Villas-Boas' position has become further in doubt with their latest disappointing performance. David Murphy put Birmingham ahead on 19-minutes to set up a possible shock. Juan Mata missed a first half penalty but Daniel Sturridge saved Chelsea's blushes with the equaliser just after the hour mark. Birmingham will still have a great opportunity for the upset at St. Andrew's in the replay.
Everton 2-0 Blackpool: The match was over before Blackpool knew it. Royston Drenthe opened the scoring within the first minute with Denis Stracqualursi making it 2-0 after just five minutes. Blackpool hit the crossbar but that was as close as they would come to scoring.
Millwall 0-2 Bolton: Many predicted a cup shock could have come from the New Den, but it wasn't to be. Ryo Miyaichi has started his on-loan Bolton career with a goal after three minutes. David N'Gog assured Bolton of the quarter finals 13-minutes into the second half.
Norwich 1-2 Leicester: Perhaps the biggest shock of the round sees Premiership Norwich ousted by Championship Leicester. Sean St Ledger put the visitors ahead after just four minutes. Wes Hoolahan equalised after initially missing a penalty on 22-minutes. But David Nugent sees Leicester through with the winner 20-minutes from time.
Sunderland 0-2 Arsenal: Arsenal's embarrassing week got worse following their 4-0 demolition against AC Milan. Kieran Richardson smashed Sunderland ahead six minutes before half-time before an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain own goal on 77-minutes assured Arsene Wenger's position got a little weaker.
Crawley 0-2 Stoke: Stoke's day could have been so much once Rory Delap was shown red for a studs in challenge after 17-minutes. But a penalty from Jon Walters three minutes before half-time and a second from Peter Crouch seven minutes after half-time was enough to put last year's runners-up through.
Stevenage 0-0 Tottenham: Stevenage get the money spinning replay as they get to travel White Hart Lane. It does mean that neither team has conceded a goal so far in this competition this season.
Liverpool 6-1 Brighton: Brighton committed football suicide as they scored three own goals. Martin Skrtel headed Liverpool ahead on five minutes before Kazenga LuaLua equalised from a free-kick on 38-minutes. Liam Bridcutt scored the first own goal just before half-time to give Gus Poyet a very different team-talk. Andy Carroll put the hosts 3-1 ahead 12-minutes into the second half before two goals in in three minutes virtually killed the game off. Bridcutt netted his second own goal on 71-minutes with Lewis Dunk making 5-1 three minutes later. Luis Suarez would get the final say as he made it six with five minutes remaining, four minutes after he made a hash of a penalty.
