With Bournemouth coming from behind to win at Portsmouth, Shrewsbury's victory over Championship promotion chasers Sheffield Wednesday is the stand-out shock from those matches. Three goals in the last 11 minutes saw Peterborough claim a replay against West Brom, while Manchester City thrashed Aston Villa.
It was far from straightforward, but Arsenal's pursuit of a third straight FA Cup triumph remains alive as they book their place in round five.
Here are the rest of this afternoon's results:
Bury 1-3 Hull City
Portsmouth 1-2 AFC Bournemouth
Oxford United 0-3 Blackburn Rovers
Crystal Palace 1-0 Stoke City
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Watford
Shrewsbury Town 3-2 Sheffield Wednesday
Reading 4-0 Walsall
Aston Villa 0-4 Manchester City
Bolton Wanderers 1-2 Leeds United
West Bromwich Albion 2-2 Peterborough United
With 20 minutes plus stoppage time remaining, the lively Iwobi is withdrawn and replaced by Tomas Rosicky, who receives loud cheers from the home faithful as he makes his first Arsenal appearance since recovering from a serious knee problem sustained on international duty for the Czech Republic in May 2015.
Mikel Arteta is also on for Coquelin, who will have been pleased to get 70 minutes under his belt after recovering from injury.
Burnley scamper forward once again as Gray wins the flick-on and Arfield sets off in quick pursuit. Under pressure from Gabriel, he shoots straight at Ospina from a narrow angle before colliding with the goalkeeper when trying to claim the rebound.
Wenger is not amused with that challenge as the Colombian international stays down.
The only shock on the cards at the moment is at Fratton Park, where Portsmouth lead Premier League Bournemouth 1-0 courtesy of a goal from Gary Roberts shortly before half-time.
Kelechi Iheanacho has notched a brace for Manchester City against Aston Villa, while out-of-favour striker Saido Berahino is the man who has put West Brom in front at home to Peterborough. Leeds are comfortably ahead at Bolton thanks to Souleymane Doukara and new signing Toumani Diagouraga.
Wilfried Zaha, meanwhile, has given Crystal Palace an advantage in an all top-flight affair against Stoke.
Here are the half-time scores from the rest of the 15.00 GMT FA Cup matches:
Bury 0-1 Hull City

Oxford United 0-2 Blackburn Rovers
Crystal Palace 1-0 Stoke City
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Watford
Shrewsbury Town 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Reading 2-0 Walsall
Aston Villa 0-2 Manchester City
Bolton Wanderers 0-2 Leeds United
West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Peterborough United
Patient build-up play from Arsenal in front of a wall of yellow shirts and they are rewarded for their persistence as Iwobi makes inroads and feeds Sanchez, who then flicks through Scott Arfield's legs to find Chambers.
The 21-year-old, who scored against Burnley in the Premier League last season, shows great technique by flicking a wonderful effort beyond Heaton and into the top corner.
Fine finish.
Gabriel is perhaps a touch fortunate not to let the highly-rated Gray in on goal before Arsenal go straight back down the other end and win a second corner.
This time Sanchez collects possession and cuts inside George Boyd before pulling a low left-foot shot just wide of Tom Heaton's right-hand post.
Kick-off from the Emirates Stadium is now just moments away. Here is a quick reminder of the rest of today's 15.00 GMT FA Cup fourth-round matches:
Bury v Hull City
Portsmouth v AFC Bournemouth
Oxford United v Blackburn Rovers
Crystal Palace v Stoke City
Nottingham Forest v Watford
Shrewsbury Town v Sheffield Wednesday
Reading vs Walsall
Aston Villa v Manchester City
Bolton Wanderers v Leeds United
West Bromwich Albion v Peterborough United
The full-time whistle has now blown at Colchester, where goals from Nacer Chadli, Eric Dier and Tom Carroll have secured a comfortable 4-1 victory for the Premier League side.
Arsene Wenger hands a debut to January signing Mohamed Elneny. The Egyptian international, signed from FC Basel in a £5m deal last week, is partnered in midfield by Francis Coquelin, who makes his first appearance since suffering a bad knee injury at West Brom in November. Aaron Ramsey and Mathieu Flamini make way.
David Ospina replaces Petr Cech in goal, while Gabriel deputises for the suspended Per Mertesacker. Calum Chambers and Kieran Gibbs are in for Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal at full-back and young Alex Iwobi replaces Joel Campbell. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gets the nod ahead of Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez makes a welcome return to the starting XI as Mesut Ozil is rested.
In the day's early match, League One relegation favourites Colchester currently trail Tottenham 1-0 at half-time following an excellent strike from Nacer Chadli that came after the hosts had lost both of their starting centre-backs to injury.
