For now, the FA Cup action goes on and West Brom were victims of an upset at Bloomfield Road as third-tier Blackpool won 3-2 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

Sam Allardyce's side, second-bottom of the Premier League, featured seven changes and they needed goals from Semi Ajayi and Matheus Pereira to send the tie to penalties. In the shoot-out, Kyle Edwards, Darnell Furlong and Pereira all missed to hand the 1953 FA Cup winners a memorable victory.

After 21 winless games, Sheffield United finally earned a victory as Jayden Bogle's strike clinched a 3-2 success against third-tier Bristol Rovers. Chris Wilder's 100th win as Blades boss was the first for the Premier League's bottom club since defeating Chelsea in July.

Leicester rested Jamie Vardy and James Maddison at second-tier Stoke but still won 4-0 as James Justin, Marc Albrighton, Ayoze Perez and Harvey Barnes all netted.

Top-flight strugglers Fulham prevailed 2-0 after extra-time in their west London derby at QPR. Burnley edged past third-tier Milton Keynes Dons 4-3 on penalties after Matej Vydra's stoppage-time equaliser for the Clarets rescued a 1-1 draw.

League 1 Doncaster Rovers got revenge over Blackburn Rovers for their defeat in the Carabao Cup earlier in the season as they won 0-1 at Ewood Park thanks to a 42nd minute goal by Taylor Richards.

Among Saturday's other third-round ties, Manchester United host Championship club Watford and holders Arsenal face Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium.
