When you take the old plugs out look for one that is a different colour to the rest. If it is plug related that one is your problem.
The above may not strictly be true that it is that plug but the problem is definitely related to that cylinder. It could be the plug (probably is) or it could be a burnt valve, worn rings or injector for that cylinder.
There are lots of plug colour charts on the web. Compare your plugs with the colour chart and you will have a good indication of how well your engine is running.
