Manchester City, who crushed Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford at the weekend, fell behind to a goal from Nenad Milijas on 18 minutes.
The Premier League leaders hit back though with goals from Adam Johnson, Samir Nasri, Edin Dzeko (2) and an own goal from Dorus De Vries in a 27-minute spell either side of halftime.
Wolves grabbed a second goal through substitute Jamie O’Hara.
Chelsea’s fourth-round tie at Everton and Newcastle United’s game at Blackburn Rovers went into extra time.
