Football / FA Cup Fourth-Round Replays: Survival of the seven

ONLY seven Premiership teams have survived to reach the final 16 of the FA Cup, following the extraordinary conclusion of the fourth round last night.

Manchester United are now 6-4 favourites to win the FA Cup and are quoted at 4-1 for the treble - the shortest price ever for that feat. Aston Villa, who travel to Bolton, the conquerors of Arsenal, are 5-1 second favourites for the Cup.

Barnsley, of the First Division, advanced to the final 16 with Brendan O'Connell's goal in the 65th minute enough to clinch their 1-0 home victory over Plymouth Argyle.

In the evening's only non-replay meeting, Wayne Allison scored a second-half hat-trick in Bristol City's 4-0 win at Stockport County. Mark Shail also had a first-half goal for the First Division side, who earlier in the competition had accounted for Liverpool.
