Also in the Fourth Round Results there were good wins for Derby and Cardiff of the Championship and League One Southampton earned a Fifth Round match with Pompey after beating Ipswich Town. The FA Cup Odds are now being whittled down with 16 teams now left in the tournament as we approach Wembley.

The competition is the oldest football competition in the world, it started in 1871 and it involves all the clubs in the football league. This allows the smaller teams from lower division to become "Giant Killers" by beating some of the world's biggest football teams.  The current holders of the FA cup are 2009 Cup final winners Chelsea, who are now hoping to defend their crown in 2010.
