After a huge amount of shocks in this season's competition, The FA Cup reaches the sixth round with just five top flight sides with the Championship and League One both represented.
In the first of two top flight clashes, Aston Villa hosted neighbours West Brom hoping to complete a derby double after triumphing earlier in the week in the league meeting between the two.
Fabian Delph put the hosts in front on 51 minutes before Claudio Yacob was controversially sent off for a second booking on 80 minutes.
Scott Sinclair sealed the win with Villa's second goal four minutes from the end but Villa also ended with ten men after Jack Grealish received a second booking in the final seconds which led to a pitch invasion around the final whistle.
Liverpool and Championship side Blackburn face a replay next month after a hard fought 0-0 draw at Anfield.
League One side Bradford were unable to add to their giant-killing collection as they drew 0-0 at home to Championship side Reading which means both remain in the draw for the last four.
The final tie of the round saw the second top flight clash as Manchester United hosted holders Arsenal and the Gunners are just two wins away from retaining the trophy after a 2-1 win.
Nacho Monreal put the visitors ahead on 25 minutes only for Wayne Rooney to level four minutes later. Danny Welbeck scored against his former side to put Arsenal in front and United's hopes suffered when Angel Di Maria was dismissed in the 77th minute as Arsenal held on
for the victory.
Just one Premier League game took place at the weekend with QPR hosting Tottenham in a re-arrange game due to last week's Capital One Cup Final.
The wait proved to be a good one for the visitors who secured a 2-1 win with a brace from Harry Kane in the 34th and 68th minutes with former Spurs midfielder Sandro sealing a consolation for the hosts in the 75th minute.
