Sergio Aguero fired Manchester City to a 4-1 win over Burnley in the FA Cup, while Mark Hughes is fighting to remain Stoke boss after a 2-1 loss at minnows Coventry on Saturday.
While City strolled into the fourth round, Chelsea face an unwanted replay after being held to a 0-0 draw at Championship side Norwich.
City boss Pep Guardiola named a strong team including Aguero, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling at Eastlands, but the runaway Premier League leaders fell behind in the 25th minute.
Ashley Barnes blasted into the top corner after City defender John Stones sliced his attempted clearance.
However, Burnley hadn't won at City since 1973 and Argentina striker Aguero ensured that run continued.
City, who last tasted defeat in domestic competition in their FA Cup semifinal against Arsenal in April, were level in the 56th minute when Aguero fired home from Ilkay Gundogan's pass.
Aguero then finished off a superb backheeled pass from Gundogan in the 58th minute.
