  • Man City have lost four of their last nine league games.

    Manchester City maintained their interest in four competitions by easing into the FA Cup fifth round with a commanding 5-0 win over Burnley.

    Pep Guardiola’s side won at a canter at the Etihad Stadium with Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne strikes, a Sergio Aguero penalty and a Kevin Long own goal.

    Elsewhere, Murray Wallace fired Millwall to a 3-2 FA Cup fourth-round victory over Everton.

    Richarlison’s opener was quickly cancelled out by Lee Gregory’s neat header.

    Substitute Cenk Tosun slotted his third goal of the season to push the Toffees into a second-half lead. But Jake Cooper barged his way to another rapid Millwall equaliser.

    Everton were left to rue another lacklustre performance when Wallace sent Millwall storming into the fifth round.

    Meanwhile, Andre Gray and Isaac Success fired Watford into the fifth round at the expense of Newcastle.

    Gray’s 62nd-minute strike and a late second from Success were enough to settle a forgettable tie 2-0.

    Meanwhile, Matt Doherty’s last-gasp header rescued Wolves after they hit back from 2-0 down to force an FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury.

    The defender struck in the second minute of stoppage time to earn a 2-2 draw and break the hosts’ hearts in Shropshire.

    Brighton face an unwanted FA Cup fourth-round replay after failing to break down West Brom in a goalless draw at the Amex Stadium.

    The Seagulls struck the post through Dale Stephens but were unable to capitalise on their 24 attempts at goal.

    Nahki Wells rescued QPR from elimination at the hands of Portsmouth as the Championship side came from behind to draw 1-1 at a sold-out Fratton Park.

    Pompey took the lead in the 63rd minute when Rangers defender Joel Lynch sliced a Lee Brown cross into his own net.

    But Wells ensured the tie went to a replay when he crashed home from close range 11 minutes later.

    Martyn Waghorn broke Accrington hearts as Frank Lampard saw his Derby side sneak through a tricky fourth-round assignment.

    Derby rode their luck and eventually edged through. Waghorn’s 78th-minute effort proved enough, with Kelle Roos denying a late Kee free-kick after Jayden Bogle earned a straight red card for fouling Paul Smyth.
