Recap
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was forced to watch his team fight back against Burnley at the Etihad after the visitors grabbed a shock lead in the first half.
Ashley Barnes' fine form continued as he gave the Clarets the advantage after 25 minutes, and they held on to the lead until half-time.
However, the Sky Blues turned the potential result on its head, and a quick-fire double from Sergio Aguero destroyed the Turf Moor club's dreams.
Leroy Sane made it 3-1 with 19 minutes remaining, and Bernardo Silva put the icing on the cake after 82 minutes.
Chelsea were poor as Norwich raised their game to grab a credible result, but neither team could find the back of the net.
The Canaries have been disappointing at home this season, but their defence was sure as they crossed swords with the top-flight club.
Norwich matched Chelsea's rotated selection, and Blues coach Antonio Conte will be hugely disappointed by the players who started for him.
The visitors lacked continuity, and with nine changes to their lineup, the Stamford Bridge club couldn't muster a threat.
Rudy Gestede and Martin Braithwaite were the heroes for Middlesbrough, as they knocked Sunderland out of the cup at the Riverside Stadium, winning 2-0.
Boro were always in control after breaking the deadlock after 10 minutes, and they doubled the lead shortly before half-time.
On a day of few shocks, it was left to Peterborough to claim a famous scalp, as they dumped Villa out of the competition.
Keinan Davis gave the hosts the lead in the opening minutes of the contest, and there were few nerves from the Villa Park faithful.
However, three goals in the last 15 minutes saw the League One side prevail after a brace from Jack Marriott and header from Ryan Tafazolli.
Coventry earned one of the biggest results of the afternoon, claiming a 2-1 victory against faltering Stoke.
Strikes from Jordan Willis and Jack Grimmer made it a famous day for the Sky Blues, as the supporters at the Ricoh Arena were treated to a fantastic win.
