Today's feast of FA Cup fourth-round football included the all-Premiership clash between Bolton Wanderers and holders Arsenal, and Cheltenham Town's giant-killing attempt against Graeme Souness' mighty Newcastle United.
This FA Cup fourth-round tie pits Harry Redknapp's Portsmouth against European champions Liverpool at Fratton Park. This could be close: two years ago Portsmouth beat Liverpool in a fifth-round replay - and, in 1992's semis, Liverpool required penalties to break Pompey hearts.
Highlights of tonight's games, including Chelsea's trip to Aston Villa, where the Blues haven't won in the Premiership for almost seven years. Meanwhile Manchester United and Blackburn meet for the third time in a month following their Carling Cup semi-final, and relegation-threatened Birmingham face a tough task against Liverpool at Anfield.
With Chelsea and Liverpool meeting tomorrow, today's focus was the bottom of the Premiership. Sunderland and Portsmouth faced West Ham and Newcastle respectively, Birmingham hosted Arsenal, and ex-Red Devils Bryan Robson and Mark Hughes locked horns as West Brom played Blackburn.
Coverage of one of tonight's replays to decide who makes it through to the fifth round - even if it means the dreaded penalty shoot-out.
Chelsea take the defence of their Premiership title to Middlesbrough, Portsmouth play Manchester United, who have yet to score a Premiership goal at Fratton Park, and Bolton descend on Arsenal hoping for a repeat of December's 2-0 league win. Plus Liverpool v Wigan, Aston Villa v Newcastle, Everton v Blackburn and Fulham v West Brom.
Passions will be running high at Anfield in an all-Premiership FA Cup fifth-round tie between two fierce rivals. As well as deciding a spot in the last eight, the match will also go some way to deciding bragging rights as the premier team in the North West. On past results in this competition, United hold the upper hand with eight wins to two in their favour. But Rafa Benftez's men will be pumped up following the 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford last month.
Two sides in a state of flux meet for an intriguing FA Cup fifth-round tie at St James' Park. Both teams have experienced recent managerial upheaval: George Burley took over at the Saints following the departure of Harry Redknapp , while Graeme Souness left the Geordie giants after a huge financial outlay failed to bring returns on the pitch.
