Earlier in the afternoon, there has already been plenty of drama and upsets, with League One side Cambridge stunning Newcastle 1-0 to advance to the fourth round. National League side Boreham Wood overcame AFC Wimbledon and Kidderminster while Kidderminster came from behind to defeat Reading.
Huddersfield took a Premier League scalp in the shape of Burnley, who struggled without Sean Dyche on the touchline, while Michael Olise ensured Crystal Palace avoided that same fate with a fine second-half display after the Eagles had fallen behind against local rivals Millwall.

GOAL! 5-0 now at Stamford Bridge! Christian Pulisic is brought down in the box for one of the clearest penalties in a while. Hakim Ziyech is the man to take the set piece and he hits it low into the back of the net. As expected Chelsea are several classes ahead of opponents Chestefield.

Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech spins with the ball, drives into the box and unleashes a powerful shot at goal that Chesterfield goalkeeper Scott Loach keeps out.
At Swansea, Southampton should be two up. The home side give the ball away to Armando Broja who gets through on goal and crosses a pass across the box. Nathan Tella is the target but the pace of the cross is too much for him to get to and the attack breaks down.
