THE FA Cup fourth round is underway with some huge ties taking place.
And Football's oldest competition is taking a slightly different look this season.
Last term, Manchester United stunned neighbours Manchester City to win the trophy with a 2-1 victory at Wembley in May.
Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scored the goals as the red half of Manchester went wild in the capital.
The win kept Erik ten Hag in a job for a few more months before he was sacked in October.
However, in this season's FA Cup, there is a major change which was already kicked off from the first round proper.
From this season, there will not be replays in the FA Cup fourth round.
Instead, the games that are level after 90 minutes will straight head into extra-time and then potentially penalties.
This has been the case from the first round proper this season.
FA chiefs agreed extra payments to compensate clubs for the abolition of all replays.
All 32 teams eliminated at the last 64 stage will be paid £25,000 from Wembley funds, with the winners each receiving £115,000.
