The last round of the competition saw Bolton overcome a potentially difficult away tie with Championship high fliers Ipswich Town. Goals from Henrik Pedersen (2) and Stelios Giannakopoulos gave the Trotters a 3-1 win and booked them a place in the next round.
Giantkillers Oldham on the other hand managed to defy the odds and knock out Manchester City thanks to a goal coming from young striker Scott Vernon.
