ENGLAND’S top clubs have been battling it out all weekend for a place in the FA Cup fourth round.
The much-loved competition offers lower-league clubs the opportunity to topple some of the giants of the top flight – with many doing just that, or at least getting a replay in the case of Plymouth.
The 32 teams who progress from the third round will receive a £67,500 reward, while the 16 winners in the fourth round will win £90,000 for their troubles.
