Fourth Round: Derby County v Leicester City The FA Cup

An East Midlands Derby. 23 miles, as the keeper flies from goal post to

goal post. Golden times for one side, saved in

the past. Just look at his face! Golden times for the ther right now.

Behind Vardy. He's done it. He has done it. He's done it. Leicester

City are the champions of England a shot tonight at glory. Derby County

verses Leicester City. You have got to be good to have played for both

of these teams. He wasn't a bad keeper, was he. More

from him later tonight. Two of his former clubs Derby County at and

Leicester City meet in the Emirates FA Cup for the first time in more

than century. With us here to enjoy Alan Shearer, a man who played for

both clubs in fact. It is nice when you pick up the Player of the Year

trophy. You see great names underneath it. This is an intense

drama in the East Midlands. It is. It has changed a bit now. When I

played for Leicester, it could go either way. If Derby beat Leicester,

it is a huge thing for Derby County. Is it possible? Leicester are just

above the relegation zone. Derby are kind of fighting for a play-off spot

in the championship. What would be the surprise? Derby will have a hell

of a chance tonight. They would have been rejuvenated un. Un. They will

fancy their chances tonight. Leicester need a moral boost in

victory of some sort to stop the rot. They do. They have not been

anywhere near what they were like last season. I know they are missing

one of their main players, but they have been poor for large parts of

this season. I think it will be a welcome distraction for them to get

away from league football and play in the FA Cup and away from the

pressure, which hopefully for them and their fans, they can put in a

better performance than what we have seen for large parts of the season.

A big opportunity in front of a big crowd here for Derby to play against

the Premier League side. They played Man United in the FA Cup last season

and didn't really perform. They got beaten 3-1. They never had a go at

Manchester United. We can see Steve McClaren. An unusual camera inside

the dressing room, which we have got in there this evening. This was

obviously a short while ago. Steve giving his team talk to his players

and pepping them up. We thought we'd take the opportunity to do it rather

than when they got changed. You never know - it is quite early in

the evening. Around 30,000 fans are here for tonight's match, including

5,000 Leicester fans, who have made their way the 20-odd miles up the

M1. It is a big night for the man we have just seen, former England

manager, Steve McClaren. Three months into his second spell here in

charge at Derby. He has spoken to Dan Walker.

Derby are unbeaten at home. Thanks for talking to us before the game.

Travelling on the train there are a few people suggesting that you are

favourites for this match. Do you dismiss that out of hand? I told you

not to ask me that! It is the Premier League champions. And it was

always going to be difficult, the second year after winning it. They

have proved in Cup competitions, especially in Europe, that they are

still strong. Put a strong side out, hard to beat. Showed us respect.

Obviously on that left-hand side against Tom Ince. We need patience

there. But, no, we are kind of looking at a lot of confidence and

belief, what we had against West Brom, what we have at home, to keep

that, because if we don't have that we'll lose the game. We need

confidence and belief tonight to win. You have spoken about the

importance of the home crowd. You, like Leicester, have picked a strong

side. It seems neither side wants a replay? We don't. We will go for

that in 95 minutes. It is what it is. We want a performance. We want

to start well. We want to be front-foot aggressive and make sure

we get a performance and gradually build strong and finish strong. We

want a performance like we got against West Brom away. Let's see

what happens. Thank you for talking to us. Cheers!

There is plenty of experience in the Derby team, starting with Scott

Carson in goal. The Northern Ireland defender Chris

Baird played in the Cup final in 2003 for Southampton. Richard Keogh

has not missed a Cup game in two years. In mid-field they have the

highly-rated Will Hughes and Bradley Johnson returned after a one-match

ban and we will talk about Tom Ince in a moment. Darren Bent is still a

real threat at 32. We will hear from him a little bit later. I want to

start with a bright young prospect, Will Hughes, played many times for

England under-21s. What do you make of him? Highly thought of here at

Derby. Made his Debbie at 16. 21 years of age. Played over 170 games.

He is experienced for being someone so young.

He was out for a lot of the last season, for eight months with a

ruptured ligament. I know about that a lot. It is chilly out there! I

know how difficult it is to come back from an injury like that. You

need half a season to get back, to feel you belong at that level.

Before he did that, there was talk about him moving on to bigger and

better things. That set him back. He's back to normal ways. It took

you half a season to get back, did it? Six or seven months. A bad

injury. It is good to see he's back and fit. Another young man we seem

to have talked about him for a long time is Tom Ince, of course. What do

you think of his progress? He's been in goal-scoring form of late. I

think the 4-3-3 system suits him. He had a go for Crystal Palace. He

scored 25 goals in 30 games under Steve McClaren. He's confident for a

goal. He can take a kick. He's a very confident player. Double

figures again this season. You know, so he likes playing here at Derby in

a 4-3-3 system. They are quite an attacking cider bi, and Leicester,

most of their success last season was on the counterattack, so do you

think it could be a game that Derby have more possession and more

attacks? Well, listening to Steve there and in his interview with Dan,

when said said, do you think you are favourites? I don't see any harm in

him saying, why aren't we favourites? The way Leicester have

played this season, the way that Derby have been... If he loses it

doesn't look so bad. Why can't he be confident? His team are doing very

well since he came back here into the football club and I don't think

it would have done any harm to be full of confidence and say, we can

win this game. Let's turn to the champions, where last year's triumph

has been followed by a season of struggle.

Oh, what a screamer! Riyad Mahrez... Fantastic strike!

Leicester City are the Premier League champions. Anything is

possible... Leicester City have sold Cante to

Chelsea. Ladies and gentlemen, the coach of the year, Claudio

Ranieri... You cannot be saying, sack Ranieri!

I am not doing -- they are not doing the dirty works. They are not doing

the basics. The Player of the Year, Mahrez. Mahrez is dropped to the

bench. Jamie Vardy is nominated for the...

Red card and Leicester City are just imploding. It has been some form for

the champions. How far will they drop? Leicester City's search for an

away-day win continues. It was good, it is my fault... Southampton...

This moment it everything is wrong. It appears that everything is wrong

at the moment for Leicester. They are conceding more than two goals a

game away from home and the attack has dried up as well. Let's find out

what Claudio Ranieri will do this evening. He's with Dan.

Good evening. Diamonds are not forever, can you tell us what you

have gone for tonight from a Leicester perspective? The tactic is

to try and win the match. Of course we want to react after the defeat to

Chelsea and Southampton. It is a Derby against Derby County and we

knew it would be a tough match. But we are in the Premier League. They

are the underdog, of course. They want to beat us. But also we want to

make it good tonight. You have won a Cup in Italy and Spain, do you think

a Cup run here could help your faltering league form at the moment?

When you win, the players get more confidence and we need to get

confidence at this moment, because we are little, little sad.

And I have got to ask you as well; it seems strange to ask the question

to the man who has won the title last season, do you feel under

pressure at all at the moment as Leicester boss? I am under pressure

for myself. I want the maximum in every match. Of course we want to

make something better for our fans, for our chairman, of course and for

ourselves. You have won something this week. Congratulations on your

hoptry dock trait. Mr Lineker in our studio is also an honorary doctor

from the same university. I will leave you Gary to do the

doctor-doctor joke! Dr Who would be it especially after

your diamonds aren't forever line! Kasper Schmeichel. Wes Morgan

alongside Robert Huth, who played for Stoke in 2011.

Ben Chilwell is pushed into mid-field.

Riyad Mahrez is only on the bench after returning from the African Cup

of nations. Up front Shinji Okazaki is playing

behind Jamie Vardy. And there is Jamie Vardy.

What has gone wrong with Leicester City this season? As well as their

back four and their goalkeeper were last season and they were, but the

three main players last year were Kante, the star of the show for me,

but they cannot keep on using him as an excuse, Mahrez was brilliant last

season. He looks disinterested this season. Jamie Vardy to me looks as

if he's had his head turned by success. I see him on front covers

of magazines: He has signed a bumper new contract. He is no longer doing

what brought him success last season. I know it is difficult

getting to the top. I tell you what, it is more difficult staying there.

What does it take to stay there? Everyone knows what you are good at.

Everyone knows what your strengths and weaknesses are. But you have to

do the basics and Jamie Vardy and Leicester are not doing the basics.

Look at those stats there, they tell you. First or second in the vast

majority of things last year, they are ranked 14th and 15th this year.

They are in the league. They are having a terrible time. And, as I

said, they are not working as hard, they are t no closing down, they are

not tackling as much. And this Leicester are in the red here

against Chelsea. They are not closing down. That is far, far too

easy for any team, let alone Chelsea with the ability. Not Going with

players, not sticking with their runners. It is happening time and

time again. You cannot give anyone this amount of time on the ball, let

alone some good players. Look at the lack of the closing down. It is far,

far too easy for teams out there they are playing against now. This

is Sunderland who are bottom of the Premier League. They have to do

better. Look at the lack of effort from Mahrez there. You have to go

and close them down. You have to stop the cross coming into the box.

When the football does eventually come back into the box, look at the

number of players they have got there trying to defend. No-one is

near the players at all. Goes there... Nothing. No closing down.

If you don't put pressure on the ball, that means you have to have

some mid-field protection. That is not happening neither. There's no

pressure on the ball. No protection. A long ball up again. And the

defender gets turned too easily. Look at the lack of effort to stop

the cross coming into the box. There is nothing. You cannot go into games

playing like. This no pressure again. There is no-one within five

yards of Defoe. It is a good finish. That is why they are struggling this

season. Does it not highlight in a way the

miracle... How well they have done. This what Leicester are. It is

amazing to see today the team he's picked. He's reverted to the team

that won him the league last year. Players who know about passion. The

new side haven't settled, so he's reverted to a team who won last

year. Hard working. I don't think the new... How do they get out of

the rut? By doing the basics. Once you do the basics, then the rest

follows. You have to look at the teams who have stayed at the top and

you have to say, you respect them and how well they have done. To

actually stay there, when everyone knows what you are about is very,

very difficult. OK, well let's hear from a man whose combined transfers

add up to ?50 million. Darren Bent enjoying a new lease of life under

Steve McClaren. He has been speaking to us.

That West Brom tie a couple of weeks ago you picked up with an un-Darren

Bent like goal. What was that, 20 yards?

It was a fantastic goal from me. I know that there were comments but

anyone watching the game said we held our own and we got the result.

It was not a typical, my type of goal but sometimes you take a chance

and these things happen and luckily, for me, it went into the top corner.

Now there is Leicester City in your patch, did you like everyone else

stand back in amazement to watch what they achieved? It was just a

fantastic story. It was brilliant for football worldwide. It showed it

is possible. I know that Derby County supporters

would take real satisfaction if they can beat Leicester just because of

that, they are the champions? It sets a marker, what a better way to

test yourself in your home patch to see where you are. To put down a

marker to see where we are. After the West Brom game, which would say

that we are ready to play them. So, that is the day job. Trainers, you

have a few, don't you? Yes, it's a collection. I started collecting

them and now I have thousands and thousands.

Thousands? Yeah, loads and loads. There was a time I was collecting

50, to 06 pairs a month. Like an obsession? I don't buy them

to be trainers, to be flashy but I bought them as I like collecting the

trainers. I like Michael Johnson, I have a lot of his trainers. It is a

hobby for me. I don't do golf or these things, I collect trainers,

that's just my hobby! You can get away with it, Darren, as you get

older, middle-aged men and flashy trainers don't always work, although

it may not happen to you! I don't know if it is a case of being

flashy. You are not a middle-aged man

issue... Well, it is a hobby. But I have family, that is more relevant.

It is a nice hobby to have but it doesn't happen as much as it used

to. So, there is a choice, your

favourite pair of trainers or an FA Cup medal, which one do you take?

The FA Cup medal all day long. To play in the Cup finals is

magnificent. So if you are offering me a FA Cup medal, I would take your

hand off. So would Alan Shearer.

We are inside the Derby County dressing room. The players are

getting ready. The final preparations before the game that

commences shortly. It is trillioning seeing Darren Bent there. I can't

spot him at the moment but I'm sure he is there somewhere. He scored 200

career goals. Nine in the last ten cup games. He has the firepower if

he gets the opportunities? He loves to run in behind. He's had a very

good career, as has been mentioned, the transfer fees he's gone to. He's

been to a lot of Football Clubs. He never really seems to have settled

at either but he scored the goals. It probably has not gone as well as

he thought it should have but if you give him chances he should score the

goals. And Steve McClaren, with Tom Ince

and Darren Bent, they thrive under Steve McClaren.

And collections? Hairsprays? You ought to see the jacket he has in

the dressing room! Now, now! Now, down to kick-off side, where Dan has

a proud dad. Yes, a very proud father and a nervy

father. Let's talk about this Paul, Derby

fancy this? Definitely. I think when you look at how Leicester are

playing. They are conceding goals away.

Derby had a massive result her against Reading, so they are

fancying their chances. We have been talking about yourson,

Tom, we heard that he could work down the left-hand side. I wonder

how much of the quality and the goals that we are seeing recently,

is that down to Steve McClaren or is Tom knockling down to work harder? I

think it's a bit of both. Under the previous manager, it was not

conducive to the way that Tom played or the whole team. Steve McClaren

has come in, he has gone back to the 4-4-3 system, and they have been

successful. Getting promoted and he's playing with a smile on his

face. The players know what they are doing. They are comfortable with the

system. Hopefully that will be how it is tonight.

The teams are about to come out. You can see the flags waves. Leicester

know that they are in trouble in the league. It could be a big night for

Derby too? For sure, from a confidence point of view. They are

five points off relegation. There are talks about the chairman not

being happy. As I say, it will be a tough, tough game for them out here.

It is a massive crowd. A Premier League Stadium. Hopefully Derby can

get the right result. Gary, I should say that the governor

is not happy, he's getting the cashmere wet! I'm devastated. I

can't believe that Robbie Savage is sitting in the studio nice and warm.

They must have got the CV skills wrong! Punned incompetentry skills!

! So, the teams are lined up in the tunnel. The weather has turned a

little nasty. A little sleety. A little cold. How do you see it going

tonight? I think that Derby will struggle, I'm going for Leicester.

Robbie? I'm going for Derby. They know that Leicester are vulnerable.

I think if they go for it here, they can beat Leicester City.

Now time to head over to the commentary team.

Well, it's a real FA Cup atmosphere bubbling here inside Pride Park.

These two teams are separated by less than 25 miles. Both have gone

strong in terms of the teams. It's good to see in the public Derby on

the back of their victory at the weekend against Reading, with one

change for Derby. Well, Claudio Ranieri, of course,

has been to an FA Cup final as a manager but tonight it is all about

winning again. They hope that this can kick-start

the season and get them into the fifth round of the FA Cup. Derby are

quick to play down the favourite's tag.

Away tickets have been sold. It's a very short journey for the Leicester

supporters, who have only seen their team win once away from home all

season, that was in this competition in the previous round at Everton.

The Premier League champions being refereed by a Premier League

official, Mark Clattenburg is the man in the middle this evening.

Tom Ince really has come alive under Steve McClaren again.

Nine goals in his last 13 games. Derby have never lost when he has

scored. Jamie Vardy couldn't stop scoring

for Leicester last season. A hat-trick in the Premier League

against Manchester City but apart from that he's not scored in 20 of

the last 21 games. He will see this as a perfect

platform to end that record. So it is Derby, seventh in the

championship against the Premier League champions, currently 15th in

the table. All eyes in East Midlands on Pride

Park tonight. Derby hoping this will be a famous FA Cup night. Both have

important games to come in the week domestically. But for the next 90

minutes, it is all about the FA Cup, it is all about the East Midlands

Derby and it is the hosts that get us under way in the driving rain.

With 30,000, we have all of the ingredients for the FA Cup.

Delighted to say that beside me is Graham le Saux. How do you see it?

Well, Derby have to test if Leicester have the togetherness and

the confidence to put up a fight in this game.

Derby stretched down the right-hand side. Tom Ince and Hughes. Countered

by Claudio Ranieri bringing in Fuchs and Chilwell. Lest have to find

something to believe. Steve McClaren talked about a fast

start for Derby. To help them take the game to

Leicester. Here's the highly rated Will Hughes.

Olsson to Johnny Russell. Put under pressure by Shinji

Okazaki. Excellent work by the full back.

Full of confidence. Derby are a passing team. They like to take

their time. They are patient. They control the ball. Leicester, they

will be happy for Derby to have possession.

The counterattacking style suited them so much last season with the

success it brought them. This was Okazaki... . Nothing in

that, it's a fair challenge. Bradley Johnson put his arm across him a

little bit. Okazaki is never really in control of the ball there. He

just eased him off it. Five goals this season, Okazaki.

His energy was an important part of their success last season.

Okazaki's is an important role. He has to do defensive work.

In his mindset he is happy to work hard but he has to work hard to get

up to Vardy in that system, where there are two up front.

Steve McClaren taking his seat as he always doeses in the first half of

the games in the stand. Although at the weekend against

Reading he left it after 10 minutes, Derby were that poor.

Olsson to keep it alive for Derby. This is Craig Bryson.

There could be a break on here for Leicester. Slipped at the last

moment there, Okazaki. He did everything right. He took his time.

He didn't rush the pass, even though Vardy made an excellent pass in

front of him. He just slips here, subsequently Keogh gets a slightly

unfortunate foul. He does like the artillery view.

-- aerial view. It's been a fantastic success and

confidence that you can see in Derby's performances lately. They

have built momentum, and that's what Claudio Ranieri is desperate for.

He's tried different systems and personnel but he's still des rately

looking for the amount of games he can get to build confidence in the

team. He just needs a bit of a run. Hoping that tonight is the start of

it. You had that experience when you

were with Blackburn with Mr Alan Shearer? Absolutely. If you don't

start a season well, it is very easy to find yourself stuck in a rut.

Fortunately for us had at Blackburn, it didn't take too long, seven, ten

games maybe. Where did you finish? Probably

seventh, sixth? I'm not the statistics man, that's you.

Numerous players losing their footing. Forward from Morgan...

Header falls to Albrighton. Simpson with the throw.

Much more familiar looking Leicester team and shape tonight.

Drinkwater... A challenge from Johnson.

There's King, knows all about this fixture, that was important in

Ranieri's fixture tonight. The good thing about Leicester in the opening

minutes is they are pressing high. They are winning the ball back quite

quickly from Derby in advanced positions.

A crossing opportunity now of Olsson. Once again good work,

Albrighton carries the team in terms of his energy. A good catalyst for

the effort Leicester put in. Linked up well there with Vardy.

Marc Albrighton Al, who will always have a piece of history having

scored the Champions League goal for Leicester.

Here is Albrighton's corner. Carson backpedalled. In the end, it

is an awful own goal. Darren Bent cannot believe it! Eight minutes in.

And in the most bizarre circumstances, with Darren Bent's

own goal, Leicester are in front. . Didn't get the chance to talk

about set pieces yet. Derby in their last few games have been appalling

at set pieces. The first ball in, Leicester players have a good run at

the ball. And that is just appalling! By an experienced player.

He's got time. He sees the ball. He shouldn't be distracted! How he

fails to get a decent contact on this! Baffling!

A man who has such a fantastic goal-scoring record at the right

end, at the more recognisable end, in this competition, has a moment to

try and forget that. What is the Derby response? Appealed for

handball. Mark Clattenburg took the view and

straightaway dismissed it. No sooner have they scored they get an

opportunity, Derby, down the right-hand side. The ball comes off

Bent. I have to say, on that replay, Morgan, his arms in front of his

body, not a penalty. Okazaki... We mentioned Leicester's

run, we mentioned that only once away from home all season, that was

in the FA Cup. Claudio Ranieri woke up this morning he would ask for

fortune and luck. He may feel it has not gone his way, but he has it

here. That is the most bizarre goal. I don't think I have seen anything

like that. He had time, clear sight of the goal and almost managed to

kick it backwards into the net. Russell... What is Derby's response

now? Huth, who has played in an FA Cup

final, he lost with Stoke, back in 2011.

Olsson on the overlap. Comfortably cleared by Morgan.

No foul on Hughes. Drinkwater to Vardy. That combination that was so

lethal and productive... That stays in. Hughes there feeling he had been

fouled by Drinkwater in retrieving the ball. But how quickly did

Drinkwater turn defence into attack? The Bent action.

The ball hits him on the arm, but absolutely no penalty there. A good

decision by Mark Clattenburg. Darren Bent, 24 games in the FA Cup

in his career, scored 16 goals. His goal at the wrong end, that is the

difference here at Pride Park. He cannot believe it. No Derby

supporter or Darren Bent will be able to believe this. The first ball

in, a lot of space for Leicester to operate in. Huth gets the first

ball. He just slices it off that left foot. He's got everything wrong

with that, hasn't he? Technically. Nowhere to hide! Derby behind... He

looks as baffled as I sound! Wanted a fast, positive start, now

he's got to see what his team are made of. You cannot account for

that, can you? Derby have done all right. They have this 4-3-3 system

that suits them. Where they are vulnerable, Steve, is the fact that

Bradley Johnson is z the only deep-line mid-field player, so they

will be exposed. That means that Keogh and Pearce sometimes have to

step out of their position, which could give Vardy the chance to get

between them, get in behind them. Very important that those two

centre-backs talk and have a real understanding of each other's

position. The noise of the Leicester City

supporters, nearly 5,500 of them, that you can hear at the moment. The

Derby supporters are a little shell-shocked at the opening events

in the opening eight minutes. Earlier in January, 150th appearance

for Leicester. Keogh's header.

Back from Pearce... Leicester definitely getting control

of this game more. Drinkwater getting quite a lot of the ball.

Olsson... Russell... Wes Morgan, trying to backpedal. Was looking for

Bent. Hughes couldn't get there. That is brilliant play by Russell

down that left-hand side. Morgan, sucked into an area that he doesn't

want to be in. He has no pace to deal with those one-on-one

situations. Russell uses his pace. And the ball gets a slight touch by

Bent, which diverts it from Hughes. Fortunate for the mid-field player.

He would have hit the target with that left foot.

Olsson... Craig Bryson, the offender. Okazaki

stepped across the ball here to protect it.

And Bryson there is going for the ball.

But Okazaki gets in the way first. Started the last five games, the

Scottish international. They do have Jacob Butterfield among

the substitutes tonight. Mahrez is for Leicester.

Back from the African Cup of Nations.

Much happier, Drinkwater, doesn't he, in this system? Every time the

ball is cleared, it seems to land at his feet. A much better connection

between the players in this game. It is a good run from Albrighton.

In control at the moment, Leicester. When they had possession there, they

look like they offer a threat. Okazaki is one of those important

players, that he forms a link with Vardy. They look dangerous going

forward. Derby are showing signs themselves that they will cause

Leicester problems defensively. It is an open game.

Well, Derby will remember what happened in the last corner. Steve

McClaren has not lasted long upstairs today, along side his

assistant. Fuchs with a corner, over Morgan.

There's a Derby free kick. Andy King there just letting the

referee know that the assistant referee kept his flag by his side

when he made that challenge and he was only a few yards from it. I

think Mark Clattenburg saw it from a better position.

Olsson to Baird. In the cup final of 2003, to Southampton. Given away

there. Only his second ever career start that day, when they lost to

Arsenal. Good press by Leicester here.

Alan Shearer saying that I have to do the basics well. If they carry on

like this, they'll be happy if it gets to half-time, because they are

doing all the basics well at the moment.

Olsson, stepping inside Drinkwater. Hughes was quickly closed down.

Baird has time to steady himself. No chances taken by Albrighton.

Derby's first corner of the game. The energy of Albrighton helping his

team-mate out. A decent ball in, deep.

Albrighton having the back of Simpson there, covering him.

Bryson with the corner. A Derby corner.

Ince with it. Schmeichel's punch but own as far as

Hughes. A little touch from Bent! He scored a goal! And he's got Derby

back on course! Darren Bent, after his horror moment at one end, does

what he does best, once again at the other end! 1-1.

I think that's what you call redeeming yourself! Darren Bent

getting to the ball first. A glancing header but the accuracy and

the direction of it. An excellent ball in by Tom Ince. A lot of whip.

He does well in the first instance. It's not a lot out but it's the

direction. It's an excellent header. Schmeichel, no chance! Well, Darren

Bent has scored in all five FA Cup appearances for Derby.

He scored in 10 of his last 11 FA Cup ties. That's the response... Of

the Derby management team watching! The more you see that, what an

excellent finish that was, by the experienced Bent. And after what had

happened, that was a big goal for Darren Bent.

That's the advantage of being a striker, you have less if you are a

defender. Not that I could have headed the

ball like that, though! This team have had such a proud defensive

record. Until the weekend game against Read, they had kept eight

clean sheets at home. Probably why he was frustrated at the own goal.

The free kick has gone short. Albrighton... Carson watched it all

the way. Steve McClaren's last game in charge

of England, Scott Carson was there, against Croatia.

Offside. Thumbs up for the idea.

Good Jung between Hughes and Bent there, he just went a little early

with the run. It's difficult to pick up Hughes on those situations,

playing on the right but cutting on his left.

Here's Olsson. The Swedish international has time to attack

Simpson. Derby corner. Just about did enough there,

Simpson. He was off balance but managed to keep in line with the

ball and make a block. The game is getting open now, isn't it? Bryson's

corner. A catch for Schmeichel.

He's not often had a game without a clean sheet.

A nice exchange between Messers McLaren and Ranieri.

Olsson. Certainly a goal that was needed at that stage. Yes, Leicester

had settled into the match. It's the best I've seen them play for some

time. I have seen a lot of them, obviously

that terrific performance against Manchester City a few weeks back but

the way that they're playing, the togetherness and the shape of the

team, they look a lot more comfortable.

Not sure Huth was expecting that pass. Okazaki, bursting to his

right. Okazaki going alone! Drawing the save from Scott Carson.

It's that wonderful link between Vardy and Okazaki. Keogh doing

everything he can to get control of the situation as a defender. Okazaki

is on to his right foot. That's an excellent save by Carson.

Vardy has everybody back for the corner.

Darren Bent is in a similar position.

In the air by Keogh. Drinkwater beat them to it.

Just a word in his ear from Mark Clattenburg.

Russell got their first. A little late. But a good decision by Mark

Clattenburg. No need to get carried over with the cards. It's just a

simple missed time tackle. Not a huge amount in it.

Just going back to the Derby corners, defensively, there is a

huge gap in the vulnerable area of the ghoul mouth, that six-yard area.

The first corner altered in the goal, nobody attacked the first

ball, so it was allowed to travel across the six-yard line. Same again

there. That's a lot of vulnerable space for Steve McClaren's team.

At West Brom, round three, their first win against a high division

team in 31 years. They're trying to repeat it again tonight.

Put out of play by Alex Pearce. Simpson looking for some movement

from the throw. Looking for Drinkwater.

, the 21-year-old is still going. A free kick to Derby.

Wonderful close control by Hughes. Good awareness and the power and

speed to get away from the defenders there.

Quickly taken to Ince. Ince's 150th start against Reading

at the weekend. For a 20-year-old...

Bradley Johnson trying to find Ince and succeeding.

Once again good work by letters. Forcing Derby back. They're getting

into the game. Especially, Hughes. Tom Ince is a little quiet.

Struggling to get a lot of possession. They are going to be

key, as we said, before the game. It's vital when Derby do get the

ball, as Bradley Johnson did, to get the ball to Tom Ince, to try to

isolate him against him and Fuchs. So, 1-1 after half an hour, let's

see what Paul Ince thinking. Paul, you are concerned about, even

though it is 1-1, about the large spaces in the Derby mid-field? Yeah,

to be fair, I think Derby showed Leicester too much respect.

Obviously, Bent giving the goal away but wince they got the equaliser

they seemed to start believing. But when they are attacking, when

Leicester gain possession, they go on to the back four and create

chances. They push up on Vardy, and Okazaki,

they should be pushed up more and then they can go forward. Thank you,

Dan. Another set piece for Derby. Back

into a similar position again. From Albrighton to King.

An important touch that took it away from Wes Morgan.

Too strong for Morgan. Trying to improvise, Okazaki. He did

really well. Bradley Johnson bringing it clear.

Once again, Derby looking vulnerable at the set piece. Nobody is

attacking the ball. Most teams now have a couple of zonal markers,

coverings between the goals on the six-yard line and then man to man.

It seems that Derby are going man-to-man, so if a Leicester player

gets a run on a Derby player, they are going to get to the ball first

and it all seems a little last-ditch in those situations.

Nugent, incidentally, out through injury.

Ince has a wonderful ability with the ball. Okazaki tracking back but

stopping him in his tracks. Bradley Johnson looking for Hughes.

Chilwell in the way. Steve McClaren was in charge of

Derby in the last meeting between these two clubs. They lost 4-1. The

Leicester goal-scorers that day was David Nugent.

This is Christian Fuchs territory. Everybody back for Derby inside

their own penalty area. Huth is forward for Leicester.

Beaten to it by Keogh... A good player, Keogh on the long

throw. Challenged by Huth. Chilwell there getting a little

overexcited in trying to get the ball off Tom Ince.

Not too many empty seats inside Pride Park this evening.

And the main aim of course is to ensure that they're playing in the

Premier League next season, and Leicester's aim is to ensure that

they are as well! This is a tie neither want to lose.

You look at both sides, very even. Steve McClaren wanted to use tonight

as a test of potential Premier League credentials, wanted to see

how his team would fare against the reigning champions.

Bent hasn't given this up, neither has Ince.

A strong header from Bradley Johnson.

Now Vardy. Been very quiet so far. Got Leicester a corner there.

Der Derby spent the last five minutes pressing high up up the

pitch, trying to retrieve the ball. In doing that they leave themselves

a little open. Vardy finding plenty of space, deciding as Derby players

stood off him, he would take the shot. Pearce it is. It is Pearce who

makes the contact. Another Leicester corner.

The referee's whistle had already gone. Out of play. Keogh, with a

header anyway. Claudio Ranieri, who saw his team

come here on the back of two 3-0 defeats.

Aware that a victory would lift fragile confidence levels.

11 away games in the Premier League so far this season.

Super fast touch. He's still going! Craig Bryson, to give Derby the

lead. His first goal of the season.

And what an environment to get it! Derby having been one down, lead

2-1. What an excellent finish. As soon as he got control of the goal

he was direct, power and pace to get himself away.

Just a wonderful individual goal. He picks the ball up here. There are

plenty of Leicester players around him. They don't have the pace.

Morgan is exposed down that right-hand channel. And the desire

Bryson shows, excellent couple of touches to get it under control and

then a confident finish with his left foot. Those touches there get

him away from mid-field. His pace gets him past Morgan. He gets the

slightest touch from Huth. An excellent finish!

Showing terrific character to turn this around in the first half. Just

look what it means to Steve McClaren. Just listen to the noise!

Craig Bryson was touch and go tonight because of a hip problem.

He made it and he's made his mark with that goal.

The fans are behind them and Derby suddenly look like they're going to

finish the game on a bit of a high. Tom Ince, just a minute ago, getting

into a situation with Fuchs, but it was well defended by the Leicester

full-back. An important tackle. Drinkwater, closed down by the goal

scorer, Bryson. No foul by Hughes. Here come Derby

again. Bent... A super ball. They've got options

here, Derby. Russell just turned into traffic.

It is a Leicester throw. Definitely a change of tactic in this last ten

minutes with Derby pressing the energy they are using. That is how

they got the goal. He was on his front foot. Was the first to get to

the ball and then just kept going. Lovely finish into that far corner

as well. Quite literally got Pride Park off

their seats! It didn't start well this first half

for his team. Certainly ended well. That is Steve McClaren signalling

impressed. Wants them to finish with this energy. The flag stayed down,

it is Bent. He's got Ince to his right.

Here he is... Only Vardy to aim for and he's found

him. Vardy is annoyed with himself that

was behind Okazaki. Albrighton might be able to make

something of it here. Two in the penalty area.

Too strong for Vardy. Heart in the mouth stuff for Derby.

A couple of silly mistakes, really. Allowed Leicester almost to create

some opportunities for themselves. You can see two Leicester players in

the box. Good run to the near post by

Chilwell. Just the weight of the pass, a little bit too heavy for

Vardy. Only once in the last six sessions

with the lead. Missed that one. Just the one minute of time to add

on at the end of the first half, which has certainly been eventful.

It has been a fantastic half. Leicester starting well. They were

pressing Derby, and having success with that. Derby spun it on their

head and doing the same to Leicester. It is Leicester who look

uncomfortable. You would expect the level at which Leicester play at

they would be more used to this type of pressing and have the quality to

be able to deal with it. But they have looked vulnerable.

He's repairing his words for half-time. It is only seconds away.

Fuchs throws that in, headed away by Bradley Johnson.

Well, at the break it is advantage Derby. Claudio Ranieri has some

talking to do. Darren Bent has been involved. An own-goal in a bizarre

fashion to give Leicester the lead inside eight minutes. His header got

Derby level before Craig Bryson with his first goal of this season put

the championship team in front for the first time on the night.

At the break, and a very noisy Pride Park, it is Derby County, two.

Leicester City, one. No shortage of excitement, a

terrific atmosphere. We are thrilled. Two great pundits! Derby

have been superb after gifting Leicester a goal in comical fashion.

The way they came back and felt their way into the game after 15-20

minutes. I think they thoroughly deserved their lead at half-time. It

was bizarre circumstances. They looked dangerous from set pieces.

This goal, it is comical. The funny thing is Darren Bent initially does

everything right. He's in that near post space. When the ball goes over

his head he has to try and get back on that post, he does that. It has

come off Baird. You see his movement. Gets back On to the line.

He, just before the game, talking about trainers, I thought he had a

pair on there! He redeemed himself later. Quite comical in some ways.

Scratching his head in disbelief there, as you might expect. We have

the dressing room ra there. Some animated goings on in the dressing

room. I am sure they are pleased in there. I cannot see Steve McClaren

at the moment or indeed Darren Bent, who has obviously scored at both

ends of the pitch. And Derby did come back well.

You have to say, it might have been a comical own-goal but a classical

header in response. It was a superb header t way he drifts between the

two or three defenders. A lovely run, Ince. That is a

fantastic header. Not easy at all. It is one of those where you glide

and hope to get it on target. You go between the two defenders there. He

is quickest to react. It is a superb header. That is what Derby deserve.

It is funny watching them this season, this season everything is

going in the corner. It is a remarkable difference. But the

header zipped off the surface. Schmeichel couldn't get there. There

was not too much in it, the different tactics. Derby went ahead

with that what you have to say was a brilliant finish. Superb finish from

Bryson. From a Leicester point of view this

sums their season up for me. They are second to react. They don't pick

up the second ball quick enough. Bryson is quicker than anyone to

react. It is one hell of a finish. Don't get me wrong. Look at the lack

of reaction from the two mid-fielders. They are so slow to

react. On the same line. Look at that! Not a tackle there. Go on

through. A brilliant finish. And that is exactly what I said before

the game. This is the ugly side of the game. Doing the tackling bit,

the working bit, quick to react. If you don't, that is when you get

punished. Just touched Huth's toe. Probably going in the corner,

anyway. Steve McClaren delighted. You can see Bryson surging into the

box. Makes a tackle before he gets in to the box. If he gives a free

kick away, so what? You can see Morgan moving his feet. He didn't

throw himselves at the ball. The mid-fielders have got to be quick to

react. They have to react off each other. There was so much space in

the middle of the park. Leicester did win the league last season,

didn't they? It is not good enough. What is the

hope for Leicester the way things are going? The hope is that I'm

seeing in this game what we saw last season, is that there's so much

space in front of that Derby back four, that Leicester have and can

again in the second half hit Derby on the break. They have had two or

three positions here where they actually should do better. Okazaki

breaks here. That happened time and time again

last season. Look at the two in front of him. The runs there.

If they split, they split too late. Okazaki doesn't pass it. He doesn't

have a shot at goal. That was the first instance. Another one happens

here. They win the ball and now they have got men bursting forward. So

much space again in front of that, the two centre halves. This time

there's no runners. He goes for goal and that is an excellent save. And

that is the one hope, I think, for Leicester, is if, and I am sure that

can happen again in the second half, it happened once more for Vardy

again, numbers pushing forward. Vardy doesn't do enough for me. He

should go past him there, try and get into the box. Critical of Vardy.

. That is his lack of confidence showing there. There's no doubt

about it. Confidence in football is a huge thing. Vardy would last

season have knocked that past the defender. We can cut to our

in-dressing room camera there and Steve McClaren is having his

half-time team talk there. The players are obviously engaged in

what he's saying. And next time, we will get a microphone in there as

well it is probably for the best we don't. I don't think he would let

you. It wouldn't be allowed! At all! Do Derby stick or twist? Try and get

that third goal. Leicester are vulnerable defensively. Why not get

that third goal! As Tom Ince said, pitside, they didn't start well,

they looked afraid of the champions. Since they got the equaliser, they

have been the better side. Difficult for Claudio Ranieri to pick up the

players. After last season it is... You have to let last season go,

Gary. It is gone! It's gone! It is there forever! Let it go! Never! It

is the only bit of joy we've had! We will not let it go, not yet!

Frustrating for him seeing the vast majority of the players not

performing like they were last season. They have to dig deep. They

have to believe because we showed earlier that chances and the

set-pieces they can put one away and get themselves back into the game.

Derby have won the Cup once. One of the best cup runs in Leicester's

history was 1969. They had a young English hopeful in goal who was

beginning to make his mark on the game.

Well, I supported them from the age of 10. I supported them in the

evenings. Leicester was the only club I wanted to play for. 18 years

old, Peter Shilton. It was a dream come true for me. I wanted to get to

the FA Cup final. Leicester had been there three times before and not

won. It was a magical opportunity. Cup fever ran high as Leicester and

Manchester City made their appearance in the vast arena for the

match which would decide who would capture the glory and the hard to

get trophy, the FA Cup. When you came out of the tunnel the roar hit

you. Obviously I played at Wembley a few times before that. It was a

magical moment. Peter Shi will, tonne who has been here before, but

as a -- Shilton, who has been here before, but as a schoolboy. You want

to be at your best. A real ambition of mine to win the FA Cup. I was

determined to do everything I could to try and make that happen.

In from the wing came a dangerous threat. Shilton made a great safe.

It was a game of few chances, to be fair. The pitch was not brilliant.

It is Wembley. We knew the pitch would play all right. They had a big

Horse of the Year Show. It had been there not long before. I felt on the

day we had better chances and probably didn't take them and them

Young. Young...

You just pray then that you get the equaliser and stay in the game.

Unfortunately, we missed a couple much chances and we ended up,

Leicester being at the fourth time at the Wembley cup company final

having not won it. ARCHIVE: It's all over. A great

performance. They have played wonderfully and lifted the City. A

tremendous proposition. It was a bit of a regret, it was the

only trophy I never won. I just remember I was so, so disappointed I

hardly spoke to anybody all night. I was off with everybody. I was

gutted. It wasn't until I got back to Leicester and saw the fans and

how proud that they were, that I came out of myself and realised that

we had achieved something, even though we lost.

ARCHIVE: Sadly, it was a performance of which all Leicester can be proud.

That was a memory I will always have. Absolutely one of the greatest

of all time What a goalkeeper. I went down to Southampton in the 80s,

and time and time again he was on the training ground, working,

working. Magnificent.

Superb. There there they have had some

legends, Leicester. Are you looking at yourself?! Well,

this is the FA Cup quarterfinal. But I don't know where they dragged this

one up! That is some whipper snapper scoring.

But it was an FA Cup quarterfinal. Was it Shrewsbury? It was 5-2, and

two goalkeepers kept clean sheets. Sounds have interesting! I bet you

don't have the answer? Mark Wallington was injured he went off

at 2-1 down, and then Steve Lining went in. And so we won, 5-2. There

you go. Now I've bored you to death with that one. Let's go down to

pitchside where Danny is with Paul Ince.

Sorry, are you staggering the statistics.

I have woken up with that! Let's talk about the first half. We were

down behind the home team dug-out, despite the fact that Derby were

ahead, it was Steve McClaren with his head in his hands, more so than

Claudio Ranieri, and Derby were ahead.

I don't know why. But I do think that Derby showed Leicester too much

respect. I think they were a little nervous. After that they started to

come into the game. Started to believe in themselves. To pass it

around. If anyone should put their hands in hair head it should be ran

Asia. They cannot stop conceding goals, Leicester. There were two

quality goals from Derby but it is mistakes that lead to those from a

Leicester perspective? I think that even the heard for Bent. Three

players going up to the ball and he gets a flick on.

The second fell for Bryson at the right time. A great finish. And the

Darren Bent own goal. An absolute classic, was it not? Unbelievable. I

think before the show, we were talking about the trainers he buys

but I think he needs a pair of them on. I don't know why he panicked.

Rather than get a good side foot, he slung it and it went in the back of

the net. We are seeing the funny side now but I don't think that

charge Steve McClaren was laughing then.

But, listen, Derby have to keep their heads, 2-11 not enough for me.

But one more and they could win it. Just as well I didn't crack the same

joke twice, nicking your gag about the trainers.

Anyway, more from The Emirates FA Cup fourth round to come. Football

Focus is from Lincoln as Brighton are playing Lincoln City.

Mill Whitehall take on Watford, followed by the holder, Manchester

United, to Wigan. And still a chance to get involved with the People's

Cup. On Saturday, the 27th of May, 90,000

people fill this Stadium for the FA Cup final and you could be one of

them. Sign up your five a side team for the FA Cup People's Cup and win

your category, not only could you be here for the game but walking out on

to the hallowed ground to collect your trophy. Go to the baby web and

register now. -- go to the baby web site and

register now. In the end it's an awful own goal, Darren Bent can't

believe it. A little touch from Bent, he's still

going. And Bryson to give Derby the lead!

Claudio Ranieri has tinkered. On comes, Gray.

A substitute for Leicester City in the second half that they hope will

turn things around. It is all to play for. It could go

either way. There are more goals in this? I think there are more goals.

Derby continuing to play that way. Continuing to pushing forward and

leaving spaces for letters to exploit. But it is right, with this

game, lots to play for. And Leicester still have Musa in

their reserves to help. Back to the commentary.

No changes understandably from Derby.

Christian Fuchs is off. Demarai Gray is on.

This is to try to get Leicester back into the Cup tie. Derby have lost

eight of the last nine meetings with Leicester. The one that they were

victorious with was by two goals to-1.

Leicester getting us away in the second half trying to turn this

score line around. What might your former manager have said at

half-time, Graham le Saux? Well, I think that he will be positive,

saying that they did look dangerous but then the vulnerabilities that we

have seen with Leicester were exposed and exposed brutally by

Derby. The substitution, Gray is coming on. They will have to take

the game to Derby and put down the fact that they are going to concede

chances but they have to make more and give service to Vardy, to get

down the sides as well. Gray has that talent to make something

happen. That was his back heel. Johnson with

the interception. Interesting for Derby, it is whether

or not they condition to press and push for the third goal or if they

try to secure the mid-field and give Johnson a little more support and

protect what they've go. Chilwell on the left back position

now with the throw for Leicester. Derby, who, seventh in the

championship, a couple of points off the play-offs, just behind Sheffield

Wednesday. They have back-to-back away games in the league. Ipswich on

Tuesday and a swift return to Newcastle for Steve McClaren as they

go to St James' Park. Marcus Olsson is back after a

hamstring injury. His twin brother Mark was making his Swansea debut at

the weekend. Still a lot of football to play.

Albrighton against Olsson. Managed to get it across.

Okazaki's heard. It was blocked on the way through. It's a Leicester

corner. That was a great opportunity for

Okazaki. Albrighton getting space. Floating the ball in.

Over the head of Johnson. It comes off the arm of Keogh. Deflects it

past the post. But a good opportunity created by Leicester.

And another set play opportunity again. Couldn't find Huth. Away by

Bryson. Albrighton, drilled it in well. Gray! What an excellent start

from Scott Carson. Anywhere else it's a goal. He hits

it cleanly. Albrighton, again, the providers. A wonderful ball into the

box. He does well, Carson to get his fists on it but directs it to Gray.

This ball is vicious. But then good fortune as Gray passes it straight

into his... Thighs! That was an opportunity for the substitute to

make an immediate impact. Okazaki, Vardy, Gray again! Off the

post. Okazaki, terrific, then Carson in the way and Derby survive.

Leicester wondering how on earth they're not level! It looks like

they used their good fortune up with that Darren Bent in the first half.

How this did not go in? Okazaki doing well. It's all hands to the

pump from Derby. Excellent defensive work.

But once again, Carson is on the floor but is in the right position

to stop it from going into the net. The reaction of Okazaki tells you

everything. And Scot Carson, still only 31, he

Steined a new deal last month. A wrye smile there. He mentioned

before the Reading game, those eight consecutive clean sheets. A new

record. Steve McClaren is extremely happy with his man indeed and the

defenders in front of him. They survived two real scares there.

An excellent start by Leicester in this second half. So whatever

Claudio Ranieri did say to the players and what the players said

between themselves has clearly had an impact. Pearce is out of

position. Okazaki certainly fouled. Okazaki, again.

It's a positive start to the second half from Leicester.

Claudio Ranieri, whatever he said, has certainly had an effect.

The drums are still beating loudly around Pride Park.

Didn't do any favours there, Robert Huth. Michael had to make sure he

had - Schmeichel had to make sure he had something positive on

Baird, 34 now, Northern Ireland international.

Back to Pearce... He was in that Reading team which

surprised many by making the semi-finals, Alex Pearce.

The pressure from Hughes. To Schmeichel again.

A Johnson foul. Okazaki really going to win that

header against Johnson, so decided to back into him instead. Just

looking at Gray's position, since he came on he's dropping inside when

Leicester have the ball, which allows Chilwell just to keep the

width. That is causing Derby a little bit of a problem.

Particularly for Baird because he doesn't know whether to follow him

inside which leaves the space down the inside or maintain his position.

Although we have not seen a direct impact, it is having an effect on

how Derby set up against them on this left-hand side.

Trying to add to the nine goals in the last 13 games. Quicker to react,

Derby, in that situation. The time he gets into the penalty area, he's

off balance and unable to control the strike. Round three of the

Hawthorns with that free kick against West Bromwich Albion.

Gray trying to get to that. Across came Pearce. And a card is coming

out for Alex Pearce. He was beaten by Gray's pace. A

Leicester free kick. Gray in off that left-hand side, feeding on the

flickoff from Vardy. Pearce then never getting to the ball.

Gray too quick for him. A cynical challenge. An obvious yellow card.

The first yellow card of the Cup tie, issued by Mark Clattenburg.

It gives Leicester a free kick from an inviting situation.

Drinkwater and Gray are the two contenders here for Leicester.

It needs to be Gray. A surprising effort from Leicester, back in from

Chilwell. Comfortable for Carson. A derby free kick. A great

opportunity, if Carson had released the ball earlier, three against

three on the break. In the end, Will Hughes under a lot of pressure.

Two FA Cup semi-finals, the Teesside team as well.

'02 and '06. To take the East Midland manager's

honours this evening. Clattenburg again happy for play to

continue. Hughes is off again, away from

Drinkwater. Still didn't give it up at the end.

A challenge from Baird. To dispossess Gray.

Over Bent. Simpson can deal with it. And then into the side netting from

Johnny Russell. What a delightful ball that is in

from Chris Baird on his right-hand side. Does well to nick the ball

away from Gray. He's got plenty of space to line it up. That is such a

difficult ball to defend. Schmeichel cannot come for it.

Russell just unable to get it back on target.

He got ten goals last season, Johnny Russell. He only had one so far this

season. It was the winner against Leeds. Steve McClaren's first game

back in charge. It would have been perhaps even more

important if it had established the two-goal cushion. The pace of the

ball here. It bounces on the six-yard line. First defender and an

attack and misses it. Cannot react in time and direct it on target.

He thought it was in! From this angle, we are above him and on the

same side of the pitch it looked like it was above the net, not on

the outside of it. He is a man you know well, you

played in a Cup final under Claudio Ranieri. We will not mention the

result. You saw him pre-match. Not seen him Vy for 12 years. It was

interesting talking to him about the situation and how desperate he is to

succeed, not just in this competition, be be to make sure he

can get his team going. In this game or the season. Smiles

on the inside, but he's hurting inside.

He has his usual zip and zest about him.

What do they play next? Mahrez back from the African Cup of nations,

amongst the substitutes. Musa is there. He'll be energy to that

mid-field, potentially. I think the obvious choice, as you

have mentioned, is Mahrez. They have to bring him on some time and see if

he can create some magic. You can see the intention from

Drinkwater. Now we understand that Will Hughes has a hamstring problem.

Waiting to see if he can play any further part.

Chris Powell, Steve McClaren's assistance, is trying to clarify the

situation. Just watching Will Hughes, he's sat

down on the floor in the middle of the pitch there. Were just talking

about Riyad Mahrez. That was clearly the subject of discussion and the

Algerian international just back from the African Cup of Nations is

going to be introduced imminently. We understand that Will Hughes's

evening is over. You can see the disappointment and frustration on

his face. Paul, we've been looking at Will

Hughes, holding that hamstring. He's been desperate.

I think he's been absolutely outstanding from the first whistle.

Controlled the game. Brave on the ball. Set up attacks. It will be a

big, big miss for Derby. But the fact he has come off now, hopefully,

the substitute can replicate what Hughes has been doing.

Your hope? I'm hoping 3-2 to Derby. But Derby are looking tired. There

is pressure getting the ball into the box. They have to still

counterpart attack. But certainly, there are more goals in this game.

So, Mahrez, not yet on the field. But he will be shortly indeed.

They are keen, Leicester to get him on. He's had three games in eight

days in the Africa Cup of nations for Algeria.

It is Okazaki who is going to make wayen and Mahrez who has been left

out at times by Claudio Ranieri this season, after his 17 goals last

season, he is on now trying to influence matters.

I'm interested to see who replaces Okazaki in terms of position. It

looks like Gray has gonnaow behind Vardy and Mahrez will operate on the

right-hand side. There with all of those silky skills

and the incredible balance he has got.

Two training sessions with the team after his arrival back.

Only two goals on open play this season.

Five penalties. Still capable of a moment of magic

that Leicester need. With him on the right-hand side,

Albrighton has moved to the left. It's across Mahrez but blocked by

Olsson. It's a Leicester corner. Olsson doing well there. I suppose

you could say that Mahrez has not quite warmed up. But Olsson in

control of that situation. Morgan and Huth are both forward.

Albrighton closing it down. The cavalry are still forward.

Out of play again. It happened in the first half as

well. Finally poised? He certainly is. I

keep looking down at Derby's bench thinking when is he going to shore

up the mid-field and stick with what he has got. I see that de Sart is on

the bench. At some point I think he has to pull

someone in alongside Bradley Johnson to lock down the mid-field and

prevent Leicester from getting numbers between the mid-field and

the back line of Derby. Chris Powell alongside Steve

McClaren. He was telling me earlier on he played his last game for

Leicester aged 40 here at Derby. They lost 1-0.

He has played for both clubs and been caretaker/manager for both

clubs and knows this fixture better than most. Now the assistant to

Steve McClaren. King under pressure.

Drinkwater to Vardy. Still coming through to Albrighton.

Chilwell trying to take it forward. Bryson for Derby.

Ince is all alone. He has Bent trying to get up with him.

Ince went for goal himself. He is full of confidence, Tom Ince.

He believes in himself. He is a prolific scorer in terms of

goal-scorer. Good link up play between him and Bent. Once he is a

way. A little nibble by Huth. I wonder if he should have kept the

ball alive and fed to Bent. as far as Drinkwater. Deflected on

the way through as well. It's a Leicester corner.

A header straight at Scott Carson. . Well, they got away with one here,

Derby. They switched off. A good movement. Good movement by

Drinkwater. He got in there way too easily. Once again, Scott Carson is

fortunate to be in the right place in terms of the ball. Headed by

Vardy straight at him. Carson has been to the semifinal of the FA Cup

with Wigan. And beating Manchester City along the way before losing to

Arsenal. The Derby the championship, still leading the reigning

Premiership champions here. We head to the last 20 minutes.

Clearance by Chilwell. I think we know what he's saying

there. There is a plenty of space for Leicester to get the ball down

and play but every time they get it defensively, the first thought is to

hit it long. It is such a hard ball for Vardy to keep alive.

A chance for Mahrez to run at Olsson. Simpson's on the overlap.

No problems for Keogh on that occasion.

Ince with the header and two going for the same ball, Bryson and

Butterfield. Derby are going to have to dig deep.

It's such an important stage of the game for them, Derby.

They have to keep their energy up. I know that Paul Ince was saying that

they looked tired pitchside. They have to dig in now, know what

they've go. -- know what they've got.

Fouled by Drinkwater. There's the throw-in to Drinkwater.

It's a decent movement. But two Derby players switching off. It's an

excellent ball in. Vardy gets plenty on it but can't direct it either

side of Carson. Ranieri, not surprising will I at

this stage is going to introduce Musa.

He got both goals in the win against Everton.

I have to say that back line of Derby's done really well. They're

under a bit of pressure but every time the ball is away from their

goal, they press. Even if it's just five yards. They did it well

together then. It caught Jamie Vardy ands themselves a bit of time.

So, the third and final change for Claudio Ranieri as the Nigerian

international musa comes on. He started the season with CSK Moscow.

He scored 18 time last season. Just the four goals for Leicester so far,

two of them in this competition in round three. He's not had too many

chances again tonight, Vardy. He hasn't. His work with Okazaki

looked like it might produce something.

Butterfield is looking for Ince. Musa, Gray, Mahrez and Vardy on the

pitch for the last quarter of an hour or so as they look to stay in

the FA Cup and avoid an East Midlands Derby defeat.

One way out and a long way wide. . It's a complete waste of excellent

possession by Leicester. Although they were unable to penetrate Derby.

Derby are working so hard to keep their shape. Almost breathing a

massive sigh of relief, the Derby players that the ball went wide.

Once again it gives them time to reset and reorganise themselves and

get oxygen back into their lungs. So much more than an FA Cup win at

stake tonight. Tracking back to good effect for

Derby. Options to the right-hand side side

for Butterfield. I think he felt he was under a bit of pressure. No

Leicester player within five yards of him. He had plenty of time.

Good play by Tom Ince there. It says it all, doesn't it?! Is he giving

her a hug or is it a chin head lock? "You will stay to the end of the

game! " Will there be more goals? Leicester hope so.

It's very animated on the sidelines this evening with Steve McClaren,

for observe reasons. They thought that was a handball

against Chilwell. Was handball if you saw a replay of

it. Missed that one. Gray's touch. Musa trying to get on

the end of it. Tom Ince has stayed down.

He fell there, I think. He looks to be in a fair amount of

pain, doesn't he? Chilwell there running into him.

Blocked him off for some reason there. I can not see for why because

the ball's going nowhere near them. I think it's purely accidental. He's

trying to get back into position. He's not looked at him there and Tom

Ince has come off a bit worse for wear, winded.

He's back on his feet. Let's hear from Ince Senior again. Tom's dad,

Paul, you feel he wants to get on TV after that incident. Either that or

one of his eyelashes have fallen out. He'll be all right. It is not

his type of game. He's working hard. Do a job for the team now. Ten

minutes to go. Can they hold on? Mahrez for Leicester, who need a

goal. Every Derby player inside their own

half. Derby asking Leicester the question to try and break them down.

Conceded. All the creative players are back trying to offer a shield to

the defensive line. Once again Pearce and Keogh very disciplined

this their position. They are not getting dragged out.

It is a Leicester throw. I think Derby did the right thing

there. They didn't force the pass. Matej Vydra, the Czech international

will offer fresh legs for Derby imminently. Johnny Russell

departing. Vydra, they paid Watford ?8 million for him. He's started

three of the last 15 games. A 24-year-old coming on for Russell.

Put in a good shift, hasn't he, Johnny Russell? He has worked hard.

He looked like he was working more and more hard. Slightly limping as

he comes off the pitch, exhausted. This final seven or so minutes will

be about Derby plugging gaps. Here's Vydra's first touch.

Fouled by King. All of these little free kicks for

Derby are huge at the moment because it allows them the time just to get

back into position, slow the game down. King there nearly getting a

bit on the ball. Mark Clattenburg feeling that just a bit too much

contact on Vydra. These last five minutes or so will

tick down that little bit slower for all of those Derby supporters.

Leicester want something from somewhere.

Leicester with the corner. An area of concern for Derby, these

corners. Gray will take it from his left-hand

side. Concentration time for Derby. In

from Gray. Beaten to it by Keogh. Another corner. Did well there

Keogh. Thought Morgan had a run on him, but he wanted it that little

bit more. Take two from Gray. There's the

header and there's the equaliser from Morgan. Carson beaten. The

skipper has come up with a big goal in the last five minutes to level it

at 2-2. We spoke about it on the first set

piece, didn't we? The space that Derby seem to leave on the edge of

their six-yard box. You can see it there, you could draw a circle

there. It was Morgan who checks out into that space. There was no-one in

front of him. He does well to redirect the header because he's

going back out, away from goal. Just gives himself a small margin of

space from Keogh. Just gets that head on it. Directs it into goal and

for once Carson's not in the right position. But preventible. I think

that is a preventible goal. If you get bodies in front of that space,

on the six-yard line, you don't give the player a chance to get a decent

head on it. An excellent finish by Morgan, you

have to say, to get his, to get the direction and control on the ball

was excellent. As I said, preventible.

Craig Bryson is going to be replaced by Abdoul Camara, the ginnian

international. Signed by Paul Clements. Had six

days with the manager. Could he have a big impact? Very nearly. They are

appealing for hands and Mark Clattenburg says, no.

He's now given a free kick to Derby. Let's talk about impact playing -

what a good run to start with. Once he's in that area it goes through

the legs of Chilwell and hits Huth on the arm. Well, that is difficult

because his arm is out away from his body, but he has no chance of moving

it when it hits him. He does not see it as it comes through the legs of

Chilwell. That is one of those decisions that the referee has to

work out. Camara has done well there. Headed away by Simpson. Well,

we said at the start of this game, neither side wanted a replay.

Definitely Derby in the long journey to the championship season. They are

going for the winner here. Cleared by Gray.

The questions you have to ask yourself on that, Steve, is, is his

arm in a position that you wouldn't expect, you know, he hasn't put his

arm out to the ball. He's just hit it. We see more and more now that

doesn't necessarily mean it is a penalty. We don't see them often

given when the ball just strikes the arm.

Let's have a closer look. I mean, he's running and his arms

are out for balance. You see it go through the legs of Chilwell. I

don't think he can do anything about that at all. I am with Mark

Clattenburg on that one. I think Steve McClaren is. He wouldn't agree

with me. I don't think any Derby fan would.

Here's Gray at the other end. There'll be four minutes of added

time. Cleared by Keogh.

It has been a wonderful stage tonight. It has seen four goals, two

each. A little over three minutes of

stoppage time for one of these two teams to find a winner. Here is

Simpson for Leicester. Headed away by Pearce.

Beaten away by Carson and then cleared by Baird.

Snrp We mentioned at the beginning that Derby go to Ipswich on Tuesday,

Leicester to Burnley. They didn't want another game in the FA Cup but

it looks as though they're going to get one.

Every chance. But this game has really had so many chances.

Each team, you still think there might be one chance created. Both

teams are looking shaky defensively. A little over a minute of stoppage

time to go. Is there another twist in the tale. Butterfield! Held by

Schmeichel. A huge kick from the Leicester

goalkeeper. The final few seconds now.

Still Mahrez. Tired but effective clearance from

Pearce. Morgan, it's his goal that's going

to force a replay as it stands. Excellent composure, awareness and

trust by Chris Baird there. He gets a round of applause from the

manager. But Schmeichel, that ball there, on

a hard surface, he made that catch look easy.

And honoured shared, Leicester and Derby must do it all again for a

place in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Steve McClaren's Derby, with

stoppage time away. And Wes Morgan, the captain of

Leicester popped up with the equaliser after Derby had led for so

long. Darren Bent with the eventful first half with the bizarre own goal

and then a header to equalise. Craig Bryceson, the squish international

was the man who looked as though he might have won it for Derby but in

the end, Wes Morgan's goal forces the replay to see which of these

teams goes into round five. It is finished at Pride Paddy

Ashdown, it is Derby, two, Leicester, two.

Yes, the two sides will have to do it again. Probably not what either

teams wants at this stage. Wes Morgan's corner equalising, making

it 2-2. They get to do it all again. I think that Leicester certainly had

enough of chances in the second half to get themselves back in the game.

They left it late but it what was they deserved.

I know I criticised them before the game. But they were a little better.

A desire from the manager to work for him. They deserved that. It was

a fair result. OK, 2-2. Let's hear from both of the

Derby goal-scorers, with Dan Walker. Thank you. I'm with Darren benighted

Craig Bryson. Darren, was that a cup tie that got away with you? A little

bit. Obviously, I gave the own goal on my part. But they stuck with it

and they got their goal in the end. And a cracking atmosphere, Craig.

Talk us through your goal. It was a cracking finish? I just managed to

go down and get a touch. And I defended and got it in. Delighted

with the result but gutted we conceded two goals from set plays.

Both managers said they didn't want a replay. Is that the same

perspective? Well, there are enough games in the championship but

hopefully we can go and put on a good performance. Darren, I know you

are smile being it now, the players and the rest of the team find it

funny, what happened? I don't know. Obviously I lost concentration, I

lost the ball. I tried to hit it, it flew into the side of the net. We

wanted to come out of the blocks quick. As we did on Saturday but we

were slow but fair play. We got the result later. You must have been

delighted with the goal later? Yeah. It was a great ball from Hughes. I

managed to get my head on to it It was set up from the left-hand side

and I controlled it. A cracking game. Thank you, boys. Very

entertaining, fair, end toe end stuff. Robbie? Yes, rester did

better in the second half. So many chance. Carson was fortunate to make

saves. But overall, I would say that the draw was fair.

Let's see the goal that made it 2-2. Leicester looked a threat from the

set pieces? They did. Look at Darren Bent's position. He has his back to

everything. He can't see what is behind him. He can't see what is in

front. But look at Butterfield behind the line. Too much space in

there. It's a very, very good header but poor defending.

What is Butterfield doing standing three yards behind the line? If he

stays behind the line, he can head it out.

He didn't miss the header? He was behind the line, Gary. There was too

much space in the front. Let'ser deserved that.

But did Derby deserve a penalty. After the goal, a handball from

Huth? It's not for me. I think if you watch it in slow motion, it's

Camara with a shot. It comes off Huth's thigh. If you watch there, it

ricochets and it is a natural position. So I thought that was spot

on. I thought he has time to get his arm away but the referee got that

right. Great refereeing. It took us four slow motions to come

to that conclusion it was not a handball. It was a very, very good

decision from the referee. Darren Bent was talking about the

own goal. We should have a look at it. I'm sure it will be shown many

times. I don't think he will want to see it.

He did everything right. The ball was there, he span around, it was a

hell of a slice but he can't get his feet around quick enough.

Get rid of it but no. We shouldn't really laugh.

But he redeemed himself with a wonderful, wonderful header.

It was. Let's have a look at it. A good ball from the set play. Coming

back to Will Hughes. Schmeichel punch it is. A good run from Hughes.

That creates the space. But it's a brilliant header. Quicker to react

than any Leicester defender. An excellent header. It picks up pace

and the keeper has no chance. Right in the corner. A superb header.

Brilliant header. It certainly was. He's a goal-scorer. That's what

goal-scorer's give you. He doesn't always contribute in other areas of

the game. He had that chance there. But ?50

million in transfer fees. He needed to do something to rectify that

mistake in the first call. Yes, probably mightily relieved.

Craig Bryson put Derby ahead before half-time with a cracking goal. The

goal of the game. As I alluded to, that area is not

right. Look the at the mid-fielders. Look at the space. Drinkwater and

Chilwell, the challenges from the players. Morgan can't sort his feet

out, a good finish. That was an excellent finish. This sums up

Leicester's season, too slows to rereact to the second ball and by

the time that they do, the ball's in the back of the net. A super finish.

Leicester have a replay, a Champions League football, a survival fight in

the Premier League. It will be a tough few months.

And for Derby. I don't think they wanted a replay with the fixtures in

the championship. And credit to Steve McClaren as well. Other teams

have rested players. He could have easily rested players to focus on

the championship. But he played a strong team. They so nearly went

through. You want to play. Do you want to be

rested for FA Cup ties? Not everyone feels that way.

But this rotation, it is a myth. I never got rested.

Lionel Messi, Ronaldo. You just didn't... Did he put

himself in the same space as Lionel Messi and Ronaldo?! I'm not saying a

world. Let's pause and we'll hear from

Steve McClaren, he is with Dan. Steve is keen to see the penalty, we

will see it in a moment. But was that a frustrating night, you must

have felt you were through to round five? Yes, we did all we could. I

think we came across a Leicester team at it 4-4-2, determined. Hard

to break down. They started well. But our character was fantastic.

Digging in the second half. A bit of luck with Carson's saves. Chances,

there looked to be a handball. Let's have a look at it, the handball, or

was it from H rushgs th? Tells what you think? Well, it's in his hand.

It's going off target. It's in his hand. I've seen them given and not

given. We fought to the end. We didn't want a draw.

You both said you didn't want a replay.

Yes but what a cup tie. A great game. A great atmosphere. As I said,

proud of the players. To come up against the champions and perform

like that and give them a really good game. And I have said, another

game, we look forward to it. It was it was a great tie for us.

Thanks for another game of cracking Friday night football.

Cheers. Managers always see things in

certain ways. Lots more football to come.

Football Focus on Saturday. Replay. Leicester obviously will be

the clear favourites. They are much better home form than away from

home. For large parts of the game it

looked as if their confidence was shot. And understandably because of

the way that the results have been going for them. But give them

credit. They dug deep. They got the goal that they wanted and needed.

But no-one wanted a replay. But a very, very good cup tie.

And Mahrez back from the African Cup nations? Yes. And the pass from

Mahrez near the end, the reverse pass. What a player Mahrez is.

Drinkwater hitting the target. But in chances, Leicester could have won

the game but I think that the draw was fair.

That is about right. Derby, where does it leave them with confidence?

I guess it depends on the replay. They have to get into the play-offs.

Have you seen enough to think that they could get into the play-offs? I

think so. There were not many options for them to change the game.

I know he brought Vydra on but play-offs is a minimum. Excellent

game of football. We got some contention decisions, we got the

goal, so a very enjoyable night. Enjoyed it Robbie? Loved it. Loved

it. Always great to be in your company.

Messi, Ronaldo, Robbie Savage! That's it.

We will do it tombe all again. Captain Morgan, rumbles, Derby. Good

night. Darren Bent can't believe it. An own

goal. A little touch from Bent. He scores now! Craig Bryson to give

Derby the lead. Okazaki, then Carson in the way.

Simpson, deal with it. There's the header and the equaliser from

Morgan. Leicester and Derby must do
