Chelsea and Manchester City took care to close the 4th round of Fa Cup, a round where Liverpool was left out by West Brom.
The first match of the day was played by Chelsea against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge, the Blues closed the match by a goal-scoring with 2 goals from Batshuayi (31 ', 44') and a spectacular free-kick from Marcos Alonso and thus put the 3rd both in the footwell in the 72' minute.
For its part, the City visited the home of Cardiff de Championship and came out victorious 2-0 thus securing the set of Guardiola in the competition, the goals came from the hand of kevin de Bruyne (8 ') and Sterling (37') and as it is habitual the citizens had a greater possession of balloon with 78%.
The City will face the Premier West Brom next Wednesday 31/1, while the Chelsea will be receiving the same day Bournemouth.

Teams that will replay:
- Newport v Tottenham
- Huddersfield v Birmingham

wow thats very interesting,good work
I think last season has really re-aligned Guardiola's brain.
After playing with two of the best clubs in the world, with barely any teams in the league, he has just joined a team in a league that has a handful of teams who could be the best. Not only that, he faced the harsh reality of the English media.
I also was part of the crowd: "ha! look at him now. What great manager is he. Comes to a proper league and gets battered. He is nothing".
He has completely switched it around and you can see his determination for winning everything. MORE determination than any of the other top teams. Arsenal put kids out against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup third round and lost.
Guardiola played a near full strength first team against a second division team.
The guy is here to win every trophy and he wants it a lot more than any other manager in the country. I think City will win all three domestic trophies.
It remains to be seen how they compete with Europe's elite though...
