Premier League looking dominant

Arsenal and Burnley were the first casualties from the top flight in the FA Cup, both bowing out to fellow Premier League opposition.

More are guaranteed to follow with two all-Prem ties going to a replay, while Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Luton will also have to go again after drawing with lower-league opposition.

However, there is every chance that no more top-tier sides will suffer a shock at this stage, indicating a gulf in class with the rest of the English football pyramid.

Even Sheffield United, who have struggled tremendously in the league this season, avoided a potential upset with a thumping 4-0 victory over League Two Gillingham, so it may be a tall order for giant-killing to arrive in this year’s edition.

Magic of the cup alive for minnows

Non-league football are potentially down to two representatives in the fourth round of the tournament in the form of National League South side Maidstone United and fifth tier Eastleigh.

Eastleigh still have work to do after drawing 1-1 at League Two Newport County, but they will no doubt be buoyed by the magical fourth-round draw, with a home tie against Premier League giants Manchester United in store for the victors.

Maidstone have been drawn against Championship highflyers Ipswich Town, but they will have no fear in facing higher-level opposition after seeing off Barrow and most recently Stevenage in the previous two rounds.

The astronomically high odds show the low likelihood of further progression, but neither side will be bothered too much after such a memorable campaign.

Fancied teams set to exit next round

The fourth-round draw has not been kind to the Premier League clubs, with four all top-tier ties drawn as well as the potential for a fifth if West Ham and Forest win their replays.

Two of those involve four of the ten favourites for the competition, with Chelsea hosting Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, as well as reigning champions Manchester City travelling to north London to face Tottenham.

Any of the big guns falling so early will be a real boost for the remaining teams, but particularly if Spurs can knock out the champions, then all the sides left in the competition will feel like this could be their year.
