United 2 - 1 Portsmouth

United at times seemed out of sorts and it wasn't until Rooney come on at the 60th minute that United started to hit it's straps. The first goal was a good cross by Giggs to Rooney right in front and not long after what some could call a cheeky chip by Rooney saw him get his second. A defection saw Portsmouth steal one back late in the game but United still looked in control.

The Gunners were lucky with a late goal to come away with a draw against a team that is fast becoming their a worry for them (Bolton) the draw also kept there not lose a game at their new ground in tacked. (Makes it 17 games in my book, someone may correct me here).

For those interested the team numbers have been released for the 5 round draw. If your not sure how it works, each team is given a number from it's matched played i.e. Match 1 in the 4th round was played by Arsenal & Bolton so one of those teams will get number 1...and so on. This system continues all the way through.

The 'lottery draw' takes place Monday 1.30pm UK time to decide who plays who with the first number drawn will be the home team.

They are

Middlesbrough move to round five after defeating Bristol City over night
AUSTRALIA internationals Mark Viduka and Mark Schwarzer each played a key role in steering Middlesbrough into the fifth round of the English FA Cup today.

The English Premier League outfit defeated League One side Bristol City 5-4 on sudden-death penalties at the Riverside, with Schwarzer replicating his shootout heroics against Uruguay that sent Australia into the 2006 World Cup finals.

Schwarzer made two fine saves in the shootout, each time diving to his left, after the fourth-round replay was locked at 2-2 after extra time.

Viduka, who missed a penalty in the Socceroos' shootout against Uruguay, equalised in the 69th minute and then slotted Middlesbrough's second penalty into the top left of the net.
