Third Round Highlights - Saturday The FA Cup

Too much football

at this time of year?

We're not having any of that.

It's FA Cup third round weekend,

and over the next hour

and a half we have 25 -

yes, 25 - games from

today to get stuck into.

For the first time in 67 years

there are no non-league teams

at this stage of the competition,

but there are plenty of other

Davids looking to give

Goliath a bloody nose.

Shocks, surprises, upsets. The

little clubs mingling with IT. --

Blues are sky-high!

the mighty. COMMENTATOR: The Sky

Blues are sky-high! That header has

won the FA Cup final for Wigan

Athletic! It's a long way back for

Newcastle now! You lucky people,

you've got another half-hour of

this! Come on The Posh!

you've got another half-hour of

this! Come on The Posh! STUDIO: More

like 90!

No Davids in the studio,

but I have a Matthew and an Ian.

Messers Upson and Wright

are tonight's giants of punditry.

Coventry City were FA Cup

winners 31 years ago,

but a lot has happened since then -

both on and off the pitch -

and this season they have their

sights firmly set on promotion

from League Two.

They entertained Premier League

strugglers Stoke City.

Mark Robins says this game provides

a good opportunity to remind people

Coventry still exist after

everything that's gone on. Robbins

rings Jordan McGuire through for his

Sky Blues debut days after the

winger arrived online from Brighton.

Robbins has a man in form upfront

with Mark McNulty having scored

eight goals in his last nine games.

As promised, Mark Hughes has named a

strong Stoke side. Amongst his four

changes is a first appearance since

May 2016 for Stephen Ireland. Time

to pick a pass. Ramadan now. Quickly

closed by McNulty. It's Ireland over

the top of the player to! So close

to the opener! Goalwards by Diouf

and its brilliant work by Jordan

Willis to get back and hack away

from just in front of the line. 28

years ago Mark Hughes setup Mark

Robins for the goal that is famously

said to have saved Sir Alex

Ferguson's job in an FA Cup

third-round win for Man United

against Nottingham Forest. This

afternoon it's Mark Hughes who could

find his position under threat if

they lose to Robbins' side. It's a

corner. Could have been a bit more

for Coventry. In from Diouf. -- in

from Maguire-Drew. Coventry lead,

Jordan Willis may well have put a

shock on the cards!

Grimmer in all sorts of space.

Didn't find him back across goal

from Davies and Willis up highest to

get beyond Butland. His first goal

since January, it could be a big one

for Coventry and who knows, it could

be a huge one in terms of Mark

Hughes' future. Charlie Adam

dispossessed. McNulty... McNulty,

nicely worked. This is Bayliss.

Biamou was one of them. Good

covering by Cameron. But then a

risky pass. A chance the McNulty!

What an opportunity to double

Coventry's lead. Mark McNulty with a

real chance here to put Coventry in

charge. Mark Robins lifted

silverware at Wembley with Coventry

last season, around 45,000 City fans

were there to their win over Oxford

United. Here's Allen. That's really

loose from Cameron. McNulty is

onside! Butland just about does

enough with the aid of Geoff

Cameron. Two good chances in a

matter of minutes for Coventry.

Biamou slipping it through. The

angle was against McNulty but he

still brought the save from Butland.

If Cameron hadn't been there surely

it would have been 2-0. 53 places

separate Coventry and stoic in the

league ladder. But you wouldn't know

it based on what we've seen so far

this afternoon -- separate Coventry

and Stoke. Nice feet... Dangerous.

Ramadan goes down. Martin Atkinson

says penalty and Jordan Willis

cannot believe it. The man who put

Coventry City ahead has conceded the

foul against Stoke. Charlie Adam

hasn't scored for over a year and

has now. Call as you like -- cool as

you like. Relief for the Stoke

supporters and for Mark Hughes as

well. 1-1.

A bit of space here, still Grimmer!

It's in! The shock is back on. Jack

Grimmer got an injury time winner

when Shrewsbury shocked Sheffield

Wednesday in the fourth round two

seasons ago. And he may well have

given us another upset this

afternoon. Coventry 2-1 Stoke. A bit

of room here Ramadan. It's a corner.

Despite the protests of Grimmer.

Shaqiri takes. A free header! Diouf

failed to make the most of it. He

expected the net to bulge when he

got up so well but the contact was

poor. Closing in on a memorable

victory. A chance here for Berahino!

And again for Choupo-Motingat.

Coventry stand firm. Shaqiri as

well. Back with Alan. O'Brien gets a

fist and Diouf somehow denied.

Ramadan as well. Ramadan in plenty

of space. He fancies he's got the

beating of Grimmer as well. Clipped

in and they are queueing up at the

far post, wide by Diouf. Clipped

across by Wimmer. Diouf got in there

ahead of him and made a method of it

-- made a mess of it. What must he

be thinking? It's a famous win for

Coventry City, and just how damaging

a defeat is it going to be for Mark

Hughes? The Premier League side

beaten by a team 53 places below

them in the league ladder, thanks to

Jack Grimmer's strike.

Regardless of

troubles with Stoke and

well-documented problems we've had,

obviously, I think we acquitted

ourselves really, really well. We

went toe to toe with them, we try to

cause them problems and we did. In

the first half we could have been

3-0 up. Really proud of them because

they throw themselves at everything.

They put themselves in front blocks

and we are in the hat for the next

round which is really important us.

My role as head of football at my

club, clearly I will get the focus

and the pressure. I'm more than

capable of looking after myself and

taking that on my shoulders. Clearly

we've got to collectively make sure

that we are better adapted to

dealing with games. We'll try and do

that and try and make sure we are

better next time round. Clearly we

need to start quickly.

better next time round. Clearly we

need to start quickly.

They aren't

going to be able to do that quickly

under Mark Hughes because Stoke City

announced they have terminated his

contract. They say they wish all the

best and will be looking to appoint

a new manager as soon as possible.

His 200th game in charge today. I

know you feel it's inevitable.

Perhaps the only surprising thing is

it happened so quickly after the

game.

You have to feel for him.

After Tony Pulis Mark Hughes tried

to change things up. Talking about

players that when it picked for

them, like I said after Tony Pulis,

they were pretty good to watch.

Talking about players who weren't

consistent enough, coming from clubs

like Barcelona, Inter Milan and

Bayern Munich. Clubs don't let

players go who are that consistent.

They put a lot of faith in them and

they didn't really do it. They seem

to be in a rut they can't get out

of.

There's no doubt, Ryan Giggs

leads the bookies list of managers

to take over, there's no doubt that

it's a very attractive job at a club

that generally backs its manager and

is a family run club. It's a rare

thing in the Premier League.

For

sure. It's very attractive for a

manager because the ownership is so

stable and supportive. They'll give

a manager and opportunity. They'll

give them the reins to make

decisions. You get quite a lot of

freedom to take the direction you

want to go in and it's really

attractive for a lot of managers.

Lets not take anything away from

Coventry on the way they approached

this game, winning this game against

Premier League opposition.

Congratulations to them. At 1-1 it

wasn't Stoke throwing everything at

the game it was Coventry.

Surprisingly once they got the goal

you thought they would really

Surprisingly once they got the goal

you thought they would really go for

it. It's just a lazy goal that Stoke

concede. Stephen Ireland needs to

come in far earlier into that space.

It's too easy for him to come

inside. Neither Ireland nor Allen

get a solid tackle in. It was a

really loose, sloppy goal from

Stoke.

Peter Crouch's appearance

changed things for state and there

was a lot more endeavour but it

seemed very hurried, very snatched,

very desperate.

It was. You know

when Peter Crouch is coming on the

ball will be coming into the box.

It's a clean header, just get a good

contact on it. I think they got more

and more desperate. This is a

striker just not scoring goals. If

that over his head into the goal.

There's no way you're going to get

that side fit into the goal past

three players. He's got to hit the

target here.

It's criminal from that

range.

That's the chance you want in

the end. The goalkeeper makes a good

save but Crouch should have done

better.

Those Coventry defenders, in

fact whole team at the end of the

game were brilliant.

There was one

instance where they blocked about

four shots on the spin. They

deserved it.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have

been imperious this season and he'll

be keen to add the FA Cup

to his impressive trophy haul.

They faced Premier League opposition

today, as high-flying

Burnley visited the Etihad.

Steve Bower was watching this one.

Manchester City unbeaten on 31

domestic games and Pep Guardiola

determined to maintain that run. He

domestic games and Pep Guardiola

determined to maintain that run. He

makes just three changes from their

Premier League win over Watford, led

by Captain David Silva. The only

survivor from their last FA Cup

success almost seven years ago. Ben

Mee grew up dreaming of this as a

Manchester City fan. He's back again

today looking to upset the odds in a

team that showed is only four

changes from their defeat to

Liverpool.

The draw hasn't been too kind to

Burnley over the stages at this

stage, they have won only three ties

in that period. Bravo, you sense

anything can happen when the ball is

at his feet and he's given Burnley a

corner. There's no pressure on him.

Couldn't find Otamendi. He will be

furious, if anything happens from

this Burnley corner. Which

Gudmundsson takes. It's a deep one.

In came Ben Mee! Something very

nearly did happen from the Burnley

corner. Just watch the former

Manchester City player, Ben Mee,

head that back across. It just

needed a touch. Ashley Barnes, the

closest to providing it. The team

that Pep Guardiola has picked today

as a condiment to Burnley. Clearly

doesn't want to be beyond the end of

any kind of FA Cup upset. Ashley

Barnes is in for Burnley. It's

Barnes. It's 1-0. Well, that wasn't

in the script. John Stones with the

mistake, punished by Ashley Barnes

and the Premier League lean is

behind at the Etihad. Barnes with

his fourth of the season. Watch

Stones here, completely takes his

eye off it. Barnes still had plenty

to do and he drilled that past Bravo

at his near post. The angle was

against Barnes. Altogether

unavoidable goal from Manchester

City's point of view. He said before

this game to look at the quadruple

was an impossibility. I have a touch

from Danilo, caught by Barnes.

Manchester City free kick, committed

before the heavy touch, really.

Quickly taken and they are level.

Aguero. Burnley are furious. Sergio

Aguero, just as he did in the league

fixture here, has scored against

Burnley, to level it up. Quickly

taken by Gundogan. A brilliant move

for Aguero and generally he doesn't

miss those. Sergio Aguero's 17th

goal of the season has got the

league leaders level. Plenty of

exchange after this goal between the

two technical areas. The fourth

official has been spoken to by Sean

Dyche as well. Well, Burnley were

furious with the referee here, for

not blowing the whistle. He doesn't

have to buy the letter of the law.

Gundogan took it quickly. That's why

all of those Burnley players weren't

alert when a grey road and the rest.

-- when Aguero did the rest. Here's

Aguero. Gundogan. Baxter Aguero. --

back to Aguero. Two in two minutes.

They've turned the tie around.

Sergio Aguero gain, from one down.

The Premier League leaders and five

times FA Cup winners lead 2-1. But

it was brilliant between Aguero, who

started here, and Gundogan. Look at

that touch. Aguero quite simply did

the rest. He starts it and calmly

and coolly he finished it.

Manchester City two, Burnley one. He

must be wondering how his team have

gone from one up to 2-1 down, in the

blink of an eye. Fernandinho, to

brilliantly pick out Sterling. It's

all about final ball, he's missed a

sitter. Leroy Sane knows it. Let off

for Burnley. A bad miss for Sane and

City.

This will find its way through to

Sane. Sane. He's got his goal

eventually and it might just be the

one to send Manchester City and

around four. It's his ninth of the

season and crucially City's third of

this second half. Silva's pass set

him on and on the stretch he guided

it past Nick Pope. That glaring miss

looks like it won't be costly. The

German international finds the back

of the net to make it Manchester

City three, Burnley one.

De Bruyne, what a pass. Pope has

come to meet Sane, he was never

getting there. Bernardo Silva, game,

set and match for the six season in

a row Manchester City are into the

fourth round of the FA Cup. Bernardo

Silva, the substitute, with his

third goal for the club, made by

another substitute, Kevin De Bruyne.

Inch perfect pass that Nick Pope

completely misjudged. Sane kept his

cool and Bernardo Silva in the end

had a simple finish. But it wasn't

going their way at half-time. What a

turnaround in the second half for

Manchester City.

We were able to

score a lot of goals. We could have

scored two, three or four and we did

it, so in this kind of game, it's a

good experience for us from the

Champions League games and for the

future knockout in the FA, so it's

90 minutes, more than 90 minutes,

and keep believing and keep going to

play, to play the way you want to

play.

My only gripe is how quickly

after the first goal, which for me

as bizarre, we switch off for the

second and once you are 2-1 down

it's tough. My view is Westwood goes

in to say to the rest, what's going

on. He's not even ten yards away.

The referee allows quick play. They

score a goal. We switched off, but

they shouldn't need to worry about

that because in my opinion the

referee can stop that and say, for

starters he's not five yards away

and that's the man who is going in

the slot whether Pascoe is. Very

frustrating.

You get a sense of

frustration coming through from Sean

Dyche but the scoreline doesn't tell

the story, Burnley's tactics

employed until at least 56 minutes

seem to be doing the job against

Manchester City. No shots on for

Manchester City in the first half.

I

can only praise the way they went

about doing their job. Shaun Harrad

-- Sean Dyche had an opportunity to

try a tactic to put Man City under

pressure. Look at the pressure

Burnley are putting on high up the

pitch, forcing errors and forcing

Man City to make mistakes. Look at

the trigger of the movement of I

think it's Hendrick or even

Gudmundsson, goes in and presses the

centre-backs. They have the mid-3

following, the left-back is tight.

It worked brilliantly. I think it's

a great advertisement for team going

to Man City on how to counteract the

quality of the play. The first goal,

Stones makes a little slip. He's

kind of eradicated it out of his

game but it is an indication that it

is there a little bit and Ashley

Barnes capitalises on strikes the

ball into the near post. Burnley are

in great shape.

A bit rusty from

John Stones, he's been playing well

until that point that he got

injured.

Sean Dyche indicated the

quickly taken free kick, you thought

it was cute come you enjoyed that.

Yeah, it was pretty good. He's

talking about five or ten yards but

undergone and Aguero already had a

conversation and if you look, look

at Gundogan, looking at him, there's

the eye contact, then Sergio Aguero

acts like he's going to go like is

not doing anything and then, bang. I

know Sean Dyche is saying about

Westwood and complaining he's not

ten yards. That's not Man City's

problem. They've got to switch on.

They didn't switch on. In the end it

was Manchester City, 12 shots on

target in the first half, non-on

target, 12 shots, non-on target,

look at that, brilliant. Maybe they

could have got a bit tighter to him

in respect of Aguero once he picked

the ball up, but once City are in

this type of mood, they get up to 11

against Lowton, he's got no chance,

great feet, great finish, it was

unfair on them because the quality

of City shone through once they got

the first goal. This is what they

are about. A brilliant ball from De

Bruyne. They kept going, the

goalkeeper, I don't know what he's

doing here. In the end Bernardo

Silva gets an easy tap in a book

like I say, you are going to have to

play really well to try to hold off

a team like that for 90 minutes but

they've done it for 56 and a lapse

of concentration and the game is

over.

Winning is a habit.

Four other Premier League clubs

faced potentially tricky ties

against Football League opposition,

and we'll begin our first round-up

on the Dorset coast.

Eddie Howe might have regretted

making eight changes for the visit

of Wigan macro, who were in front

quickly. The 20 13th cup winners

really scented an upset. There was a

deflection off the young American

will stop

Wigan macro have doubled

their advantage away at Bournemouth.

Memories of a shock exit to Millwall

last season after making wholesale

changes were returning for

Bournemouth. David it eventually be

banished. Lys Mousset produced an

emphatic finish ten minutes into the

second half. The visitors claimed

Ivan Toney was fouled as he closed

in on goal. No penalty awarded, but

Wigan's assistant boss Richardson

was given his marching orders. In

injury time the defender Steve Cook

and a replay. Powering in the cross.

Bournemouth have their late dramatic

equaliser.

On the Premier League

side might have claimed victory when

Ryan is hit the post with the final

attack of the match. -- Ryan Fraser

hit the post.

Our lads showed

character. We feel it was a penalty

in the last minute of the game,

Bournemouth might feel the same way

as us and it could have changed the

outcome but 2-2 is what it is and

it's what the FA Cup is about, a

team from a lower league as such

playing a really top team, both

teams intent on having a good game

and great credit to all the players

on the pitch.

Bristol City had

already beaten Watford this season

in the EFL Cup, and Watford, who had

lost six of their last seven games,

soon went ahead. Caroline swept home

for his second of the season. --

Cameron Logan. Watford continued

their momentum in the second half.

Tom Cleverley it a well timed cross

which found Captain Troy Deeney.

A

well worked goal from Watford, who

it is safe to say now through to the

fourth round of the FA Cup.

Relentless in their pursuit of the

third, Deeney turned provider as

Capoue put the tie beyond doubt.

Relief for Marco Silva. City manager

will turn his attentions to the

match against Manchester City

midweek.

This game came alive in a two minute

spell in the second half, Van La

Parra nipping in for the Terriers.

Before Bolton defender David Wheater

lost out in a tackle his manager

thought Parkinson felt warranted

sending off. They continued,

Williams' long-range effort

deflected in.

Goal, Huddersfield

Town, Johnny Williams.

Bolton found

the net themselves, Spanish defender

Derik heading home, midway through

the second half Huddersfield held on

a spot in the next draw. League Two

pacesetters Luton Town travelled to

the north-east with passionate

support from 7500 hopeful Hatters.

Goalkeeper's Billy Howle allowed

Perez to find the net for the second

game in a row. Luton, with two of

the former skipper's sons in the

squad fell behind moments later.

A

great save and tucked in and

Newcastle have the second goal.

Pera

is the gain on the spot, easy. Perez

and Gayle set up the third.

Here's

the third goal and that's the end of

the cup tie.

Luton haven't been

buying all season for the mantle of

top scorers for no reason.

Hylton

has reduced the arrears with four

minutes of the second half gone.

The

hint of a fightback. The same player

was celebrating wildly again,

shortly afterwards. Believing he'd

reduced the arrears even further,

only to be denied by the Assistant's

flagged for offside. Brief, but no

upset here. Ewan-macro let's go back

to Bournemouth's draw with Wigan,

flying high in League One, they made

them work really hard today,

Bournemouth and Eddie Howe will be

delighted to get the opportunity of

a replay.

Absolutely, to go down

like that and come back, Bournemouth

have made a habit of coming back

late in matches at Christmas, at

West Ham and earlier on this week,

but...

Against Brighton.

I don't see

the problem with this, the change in

Adam Smith's stride in order to

knock Adam Tony off, there's not a

lot there, is there?

It looks like

he's trying to go towards the

goalkeeper, to maybe stop, if he

goes round him, to stop the one on

the line. He hasn't done anything

yet.

Wigan are not too happy about

it.

The assistant is sent off.

This

is about the delivery, it's a

fabulous ball whipped in and Cook on

the go, it's a 92nd minute goal and

again, Bournemouth rescue something

late on. It's a habit, 94th minute,

Fraser again has popped up with a

few goals over Christmas, nearly

stole it. Finished strongly.

When

you are 16th in the league and

you've had a few draws of late and

not far from danger, a good Cup run

for the fans in particular, I've

read quite a lot about this this

weekend, it's really important,

isn't it, for the club, when you are

not looking at European places on

top of the league?

Yeah, it's

something Bournemouth should try to

have a go at. They have the

character for it. They come back

late in games. I genuinely believe

that it does give you confidence and

momentum for the next game.

Galvanises you.

Absolutely.

changes from their defeat to

Liverpool.

Plenty more third-round games to

come to light.

-- tonight.

Exeter's Paul Tisdale side took an

Premier League West Brom who haven't

won in any competition since August.

Premier League West Brom who haven't

won in any competition since August.

A huge boost for Exeter. The 13 goal

striker was a doubt after breaking

his nose on New Year's Day. Two

changes. Alan Pardew has named a

strong West Brom side. He makes for

changes from the team that started

Tuesday's defeat at West Ham.

It looked like handball... The

Exeter team appealed. West Brom seem

to be expecting the whistle. It

drops nicely the Rondon! Rondon with

the opening goal for West Bromwich

Albion. That is inside the opening

90 seconds. You can see Exeter

appealing to handball. Lee Mason

kept his Whistle down and West Brom

able to come forward. A fine finish

from the Venezuelan international.

The keeper can't keep it out. Away

by Tilson. Robson-Kanu... Rodriguez!

As this ball is played in by

Robson-Kanu, the head that dropped

kindly and the England international

really wasn't going to miss from

there.

Away from Taylor. What a save from

Pym. Terrific stop from the Exeter

goalkeeper to deny West Brom a third

goal. Rodriguez towards McClean.

What he fouled in the area? He was.

He gets the man. Hal Robson-Kanu,

and as a substitute. Saved by

Robson-Kanu! What a moment for the

Exeter goalkeeper.

Against the post from Stockley! What

a chance that was for Exeter City in

the final few seconds of the first

half. It looked for all the world

there as though Ben Foster was going

to make the easiest of captures. The

fumble and Stockley so close to

pulling a goal back.

Taylor swings it in high. Stockley

with the header, couldn't get too

much on it. Giving it a real go in

nearly stages of the second half.

Taylor went for the top corner. Ben

Foster with the save, as Exeter

tried to find the target. A far

better second half in terms of

chances created for Exeter City.

Jake Taylor drives that end. The

whistle has gone. A sense of

anticipation as this ball was played

into the penalty area. That might

just about be that.

How close were

we to having a different outcome

today?

I think one goal we need to

just make it interesting. I'm

disappointed with our first half and

very pleased with our second half.

2-0 you get a goal, you've got a

chance. I just think we started to

slowly or too much respect, not

enough vigour. Something wasn't

quite right about our performance at

the start of the game and we paid

for it.

A professional display from

the Premier League team today. We

were very good in the first. Should

have had more goals. Exeter had a

good go in the second half and we

defended well. Both sides' display

was good today.

He didn't have a

huge smile on his face there but

that was always a potential banana

skin for a team that must be low in

confidence. He hasn't got

skin for a team that must be low in

confidence. He hasn't got a win

under his belt until today.

I think

Paul Tisdale was right. They either

gave him too much respect or I don't

know what it was. The team hadn't

won since August, four goals up

until this point and the Alan

Pardew. With a pitch that was

really, really poor. I thought they

would have put them under more

pressure, made West Brom have to

play a bit more. And just get the

ball into the box. They didn't do

anything. It was very comfortable

for them.

Unlike what Mark Hughes

did today, he named a full strength

side.

He did. Almost

did today, he named a full strength

side.

He did. Almost anticipating

and valuing the importance of this

match, not just because it's FA Cup

but because the team need a win and

they need a goal. He adapts to that

and all credit to Alan Pardew for

doing that. A hint of handball in

the build-up from Barry. Rondon

played just off the front today and

found himself operating in a few

different positions. It falls to him

in this area. He usually would be in

the box. He hits the target, he puts

plenty of power behind it. The

keeper is a bit unsighted and just

gets a hand to it.

It's the perfect

start for them.

Early goal and they

just built in confidence. Second

goal, a bit of fortune again.

Rodriguez finishes it off. That was

comfortable for them.

It was. His

reaction there, you see the

difference in the reaction from

Rodriguez to the Exeter player.

difference in the reaction from

Rodriguez to the Exeter player.

That's what it's like for them

today, they just weren't up to

speed.

Exeter didn't make full use

of that pitch stop

speed.

Exeter didn't make full use

of that pitch stop.

Ball that give

them more confidence?

I hope so. I

hope that he'll get a couple Premier

League wins and maybe this is a good

basis to start from.

League One Fleetwood faced

Premier League opposition in today's

early game in the form

of Leicester City, to whom they sold

Jamie Vardy nearly six years ago.

Jonathan Pearce and Kevin Kilbane

were at the other Highbury.

Jonathan Pearce and Kevin Kilbane

were at the other Highbury.

No Jamie Vardy for Leicester City.

Injury keeps him out. Hasn't

diminished the feeling of

anticipation inside Highbury in this

old-fashioned looking cup tie.

Fleetwood I ninth tiered club, 48

places below Leicester. Leicester

made eight changes. No Vardy.

This path with Dragovic nearly

beating his own goalkeeper. Does he

intend that?

He does, it's got to be

an indirect free kick.

Here comes

the corner kick. Out to Schwabl. Not

yet away. Good strong challenge.

Quietly spoken but very astute.

He's taking an -- taking on Coyle.

First taking on Schwabl then going

directly at Coyle. When Demarai Gray

picks up the ball, he can do that.

This will be awkward for the

goalkeeper, peering into the

sunshine. The header flew over.

Quality ball played in from Demarai

Gray. He gets in front of Bolger,

best chance of the game.

He's done

well. Hunter here for Fleetwood.

Gets across end. Just deflected

wide!

He's looking to handball. Not

handball.

Bolger attacks the near

post. Good defending by Slimani,

really important there. The noise

levels rise and the team that won

the Premier League title two seasons

ago are finding this an awkward

afternoon. Leicester need to do

something because Fleetwood Town are

on top.

There's been a turn.

Fleetwood Town on the front foot.

Bolger will get on the outside and

then attack the ball. There he is!

How did the defendant not see that

coming?

He's not even looking of the

ball comes across initially,

Slimani. Again, that's a chance.

Demarai Gray has been quiet. Decent

cross in... Slimani!

That's what you

want from Demarai Gray. One-on-one

with Coyle here. Just the angle

against Slimani in the end.

Is this

the moment for Fleetwood? Hunter.

Hunter's shot, it's deflected,

goodness me! So perilously close to

giving Fleetwood Town a mighty

winner! Jakupovic was beaten!

Jakupovic already moving to his...

Gets away with that one.

The boys

played really well. In the first

half we played slightly more passing

for transition. In the second half

we played more direct because the

pitch was caught up in the second

half. Our young boys showed a lot of

maturity today.

It was not enough

today on the pitch, and the quality.

It was always a long kick, second

ball, it was important to give a

good response to this. Perhaps the

pitch is not fantastic to play an.

But I think they deserve

congratulations.

When we go about

our business like we did today I

think any opposition would find it

difficult.

Claude Puel made seven

changes to the starting line-up and

almost paid for it in the end.

The

changes could have lost Leicester

the next round of the Cup. He

changed the whole back four. There

weren't too many opportunities in

the game but this was a good

instance from Bolger who just gets

the run now. As it comes in he

missed times it and it hits him in

the shoulder.

He did get the run and

Slimani. He was a bit sloppy. He

could have taken full advantage of

that. Hunter played very well today.

Wes Burns played brilliant today. I

was gutted he got taken. Look at

chance here. I think he hit the post

twice. Cole was waiting for it. I

was almost willing Fleetwood to win.

twice. Cole was waiting for it. I

was almost willing Fleetwood to win.

They got the replay and that could

be the Vardy match because he could

be back for that. It had some

romance to it but it almost petered

out when Vardy didn't feature.

He

was there watching. It didn't have

much about it, the game. I expected

Fleetwood to be a bit more on the

front foot being the FA Cup but it's

a tough ask for them at the King

Power Stadium.

And a first start for

Adrien Silva for Leicester.

He

hasn't played for so many months, he

wasn't even desperate to play in

that game!

There were five other League One

clubs in action today.

Let's begin with Peterborough's

trip to Aston Villa.

Let's begin with Peterborough's

trip to Aston Villa.

With priority on a return to the

Premier League, Steve Bruce made ten

changes for the visit of

Peterborough. It didn't take them

long to take the lead, Peterborough

failed to clear this cross and Davis

pounced. The visitors were unlucky

not to score with Liam Shephard's

header. Danny Lloyd's follow-up. But

with 15 minutes remaining, Marriott

equalised. The 4500 visiting fans

sensed something was happening.

Villa however weren't done, giving

up. It was time to be thwarted by

the bar. A late Posh surge sort

Tafazolli send them ahead.

Peterborough then set up a 5-star

finish.

Into Marriott. It is in off

the post, 3-1, that's that, game

over, Aston Villa are out of the FA

Cup.

Eight goals in the two previous

rounds helped MK Dons reached the

third round. One is all they needed

to reach the fourth. The signs were

there for QPR, when Muirhead struck

the post. The home side should have

scored when there was across the

Matt Smith, who couldn't convert.

The Dons were given a helping hand,

they say was inadvertently fed who

still had plenty to do before

curling home. -- Cisse. QPR couldn't

take advantage in the seven minutes

of extra time to force a replay

through Grant Hall's header, as Ian

Holloway's unhappy cup run continues

having lost seven of his last eight

ties at this stage of the Cup.

Ewan-macro Nigel Adkins tuts

Championship strugglers Hull City to

Blackburn Rovers pushing for

promotion in League One very nearly

saw them fall behind. A sweetly

struck effort from 20 yards. Tony

Mowbray might have thought the 2014

finalists were there for the taking

but Hull took a second-half lead

when Aina scored his first senior

goal. The home side did have a

chance to force a replay, but

substitute Danny Graham was off

target when well placed, so it's

Adkins' side that go through.

21st in League Two, Yeovil, the

lowest ranked side in the

competition, were banking on causing

a shocker against Stuart McCall's

Bradford, both with previous FA Cup

pedigree. Just after the hour, a

Yeovil counterattack provided new

loan signing Marcus Barnes with a

great opportunity.

Marcus Barnes in

on goal on debut scores Forum! It's

a dream debut!

Paul Taylor struck

the inside of the bar for Bradford,

who were looking for their first

away goal in the competition since

knocking out Chelsea in 2015. It

wasn't to be, as Jordan Green was in

the box, who calmly sent Yeovil into

the fourth round for only the third

time since 1949.

The League One table might have

suggested a routine home victory for

Doncaster Rovers on the fringes of

the play-offs against relegation

threatened Rochdale. But FA Cup

shocks come in various sizes and

Calvin Andrew headed the visitors in

201-0 lead to put Rochdale on course

a surprise win. After a lacklustre

first half, Doncaster improved. I'll

be best in should have scored,

credit the goalkeeper who produced a

terrific save to deny him an

equaliser after the break.

Doncaster, unbeaten in five, might

have forced a replay, but

frustratingly this effort was back

off the bar. Rochdale's place in

round four offers them at Li Ma of

light in a gloomy season.

Well done to the winners, causing

upsets, but it's Posh we'll look at.

Up against Aston Villa side who were

unrecognisable to the team that

Steve Bruce normally fields.

He made

a lot of changes. Posh could have

won it six or seven, the amount of

chances they created. After going a

goal down they stayed with it and

looked all over the place, Villa,

and beat them quite comfortably in

end. A really good win for them. I

was quite pleased for them. Barry

Fry is the one I have a lot of time

for, watching his team, they played

very well even though they made a

lot of changes, Villa, they really

did play very well, Posh and it

flattered them that it was only

three.

When a manager makes ten

changes to a starting line-up you

can only assume he's focusing on the

league. There's no way he was

putting any emphasis on the FA Cup.

Absolutely, look at Villa, the

promotion and play-offs for them is

a hugely important thing this

season. It seems a theme that if

you're not going to stick and play a

full strength team of the cup tie is

very difficult and results in the

teams that have been chosen in this

round has shown that.

You won't get

away with it will stop

absolutely

not.

Southampton have gone nine games

without a win and pressure

is beginning to build on manager

Mauricio Pellegrino.

The last thing they needed

was a tricky trip to Fulham,

currently just outside

the Championship play-offs.

Vicki Sparks was at Craven Cottage.

Five changes for Fulham, Piazon

starts for the first time since

breaking his leg in August, Ryan

Sessegnon keeps his place. Two

changes for Southampton, who were

thin on the ground defensively due

to injuries and Virgil van Dijk's

departure to Liverpool. Steven Davis

returning to captain the side, top

scorer Charlie Austin is still out

with a hamstring problem. Long,

Southampton can work a

counterattack. Still with it,

Ward-Prowse. Not far away at all.

Ward-Prowse under pressure from

Piazon, does well to get the shot

away. Yoshida. Davis finds Boufal,

Long trying to play it back. It

might break the Ward-Prowse. It

does! Southampton take the lead.

First goal the season for James

Ward-Prowse, played in well to

Boufal. Southampton get lucky with

the deflection, but Ward-Prowse is

there in the right place at the

right time to finish past Button.

Still going, Long... Good save,

Button, but that should have been

2-0. He starts the move off, finds

Long, takes the touch. Button makes

himself big. Good pressure this,

from Fulham. How has he missed that?

Fredericks with the ball in and

Piazon knows that's a huge chance.

Ward-Prowse, his goal separated the

sides. Wins the corner. Flicked on

and over the line. No. Southampton

so close to a second. Flicked on and

Jack Stephens can't believe he

hasn't scored.

I Fulham free kick. Lead Fulham to

the play-offs last season. It's been

more up and down this time around.

Norwood with the free kick. McCarthy

has dropped it... Over the bar. What

a chance for Fulham. Norwood with

the free kick, McCarthy comes and

drops it and N'Doye on the volley.

It's a difficult chance, so close.

So close to 1-1.

Redmond with the opportunity to wrap

it up for Southampton. Lemina is

making a run. Gabbiadini. It should

have been two for Southampton. He

was given his chance from the bench

and he's missed a sitter, right at

the death.

My highest pressure is

from myself, from my own self, and I

want to do the best for this club

and especially because they are

really supportive with me from the

beginning. I am really grateful I

came but small winning, small

victories, at the end hopefully we

can change this mood.

In one moment

they show quality and scored the

goal. We are trying to play, we

didn't surrender any chances, but

they scored the goal. If you don't

score the goal is complicated to

find a positive in the result.

Mauricio Pellegrino needed

confidence and something from his

team but you were looking forward to

seeing Fulham on their exciting

youngsters, many have made

headlines.

They did play well, they

did have a few chances. The manager

is sought after, his his name is

mentioned in the Stoke appointment.

I thought Southampton did really

well today, very professional, came

up against a team with pace and

skill. I thought Boufal was a

standout performer for Southampton

today. He really did do some nice

tricks and played some lovely stuff,

quite entertained by him today, but

in the Southampton did nick it. It

was a nicely worked goal, a bit of

luck in the end but it was a good

goal.

James Ward-Prowse came up with

the goods in the end.

Yeah, he could

have got a bit more pressure on

Yoshida here. A good run from Davis.

BC James Ward-Prowse there with

N'Doye, who does well to get up

there, but there's a little

deflection which gives Ward-Prowse

the edge on him. When you see it

from this angle...

He doesn't react.

On his heel.

Exactly, it was all

they needed. Southampton could have

wrapped it up. There was a good

chance later on, but in the end they

just shaded it.

Southampton were

moving through the gears and did

start to look more Premier League

like in their quality. Fulham had a

chance, well, a fantastic

opportunity for Piazon but he didn't

make the most of it, did he?

No, it

was an outstanding chance. Fulham

did great to hang in the game and

have the opportunity at the end.

He's holding his head in the hands.

It comes through bodies and you are

a bit unsighted, but to get any kind

of contact on the ball at the back

post and it's a goal.

He's on loan

from Chelsea, he won't thank us for

showing that!

Wolves are currently running away

with the Championship

and are dreaming of a return

to the top flight for

the first time since 2012.

They took on Swansea City,

who are rock bottom

of the Premier League.

Alistair Mann was watching this one.

Spin away by Helder Costa. The flag

stays down. What an opportunity this

is for Wolves. Oh, now, the play has

now been pulled back. Well, on first

viewing the flag stayed down. I can

only imagine there was a change of

heart. It's a free kick to Swansea.

No harm done, although they've given

the ball away.

Good effort and a great save by

Nordfeldt. Macari had the first

sight of goal, really is travelling,

that shot.

Bonatini gets to it. Another great

save by Nordfeldt. He was absolutely

walloped by Helder Costa and the

goalkeeper probably makes one of the

best saves he's had to make.

Tackled by Fer, Routledge, Carroll.

The corner. Ryan Bennett. In towards

Bony. That was a dramatic fall by

Amanda Hall, and another one by

Fernando is this time the referee

has given a free kick right on the

edge. He's been penalised, he looks

puzzled. Turns away in frustration

at the decision. He has the left

foot to wrap this around the wall

and into the back of the net. It

does seem as if it would favour a

left footer. On target. Oh, just the

top of the bar. I think the

goalkeeper got a touch on that. The

referee says goal kick. I'm sure

that's a corner, I'm sure that was

on target from Olsson. A little

brush of the fingers by Will Norris

Zonta the bar and out for a goal

kick, says the referee, without

doubt very closest Swansea have

come.

Vinagre loses out and then he's been

penalised for the challenge on Dyer,

and it a read. Anthony Taylor,

straight to the pocket. And Wolves

are down to ten. He's gone breaking

down the back of Dyer's calf, there,

and I think Anthony Taylor is

absolutely within his rights. Here's

Fer. Bony. Now then, Roberts. Can he

pick someone out? Bony. Oh, shocker,

Dyer. Carroll. Charged down by Cody.

Bony again.

wasn't even desperate to play in

that game!

Wilfried Bony with a dreadful mess.

That's a cynical trip by Fer. It's

red! We are ten versus ten now. I

don't see that as a red card. But

Anthony Taylor does. And that's all

that counts. Does he believe this

was violent play? It didn't seem

like it. Just a cynical trip in

midfield, rarely. Miles away from

goal. I have to say I thought that

was a really harsh call.

Nearly. What a way that would have

been to announce his credentials to

his new supporters. A little flick

header and just beyond the post.

The

two key talking points, the red

cards. What about Rubens? Have you

seen it?

Of course I've seen it. I

agree with the referee. I'm sure

that the player has no intention at

all.

What about the second one, Fer?

I saw it. Typical yellow card in my

opinion. In the middle of the pitch,

a touch on the back is a relative.

In the middle of the pitch, not a

dangerous situation to the goal. To

me it's a yellow card.

It really was

a tale of two

me it's a yellow card.

It really was

a tale of two red cards. If you look

at the first 40 minutes it was all

about Wolverhampton, all over

Swansea. When you look at them

there's one place between. The

bottom of the Premier League and the

top of the Championship and it was

very even apart from Wolverhampton

more chances.

Wolves showed their

Premier League quality for me today.

In this cup tie they proved they are

at that level they can match a

Premier League side. If not get the

upper hand. 40 minutes with 11

versus 11 they were on top. When it

went to ten after the second yellow

they started to get momentum and

opportunities.

We are talking about

the bottom team Indian Premier

League in respect of Swansea.

Let's

have

League in respect of Swansea.

Let's

have a look at the first. Vinagre.

I

do feel for him. He's not being

malicious. The ball runs away from

him. I think he's trying to get the

ball back unto himself.

Unfortunately he catches Nathan Dyer

and it looks really nasty. Nathan

comes in and kicks it away. I think

it's an unfortunate one. He's not

being malicious.

Clumsy but no

question a red. The second is more

difficult to sit here and justify as

a straight red.

Is interesting. As

annoying this is to watch, we watch

it and think it's such an irritating

foul, so cynical. But I can't

imagine what the referee's

justification is going to be to

issue a red card here. I don't

understand where it comes from.

You

can see how

understand where it comes from.

You

can see how surprisingly right Bony

is.

It's not violent, it's not clear

or on goal -- how surprised Fer is.

When you're in Swansea's situation

fighting the life at the bottom of

the Premier League, you don't really

want the added interruption of more

matches. But you do want a good cup

run.

You do. I think Wolves did

really well in that game and

deserved to win it. It gives Swansea

the opportunity to maybe get them

back at their place and beat them,

try and get themselves going because

they need to start getting

themselves going.

There were five League 2 club is

looking to upset Championship

opposition today. We begin with

Notts County versus Brentford. There

are some things that just go well

together. Strawberries and cream,

and an deck and Jon Stead and the FA

Cup. Brentford, buoyed by three wins

over the festive period almost took

the lead against Notts County as

Watkins nearly drove home. The

keypad Fitzsimons came to the

rescue. Then John

keypad Fitzsimons came to the

rescue. Then John Stead.

John Stead

on the right-hand side. Is he going

to try the goal? Yes he is! It's in

the back of the net! Get in. John

Stead with a brilliant finish.

Is

the FA Cup did dream goals, the

34-year-old has now scored in every

round this season. Grant could have

made it two but for a fine save from

Luke Daniels. An equaliser went

bedding. Its county and Stead who

once again make the headlines.

I'm

getting on a bit now. It's nice to

have these goals and a big

occasions. We came up with the goods

just at the right time.

Four points

above the Championship relegation

zone and without a win in six

matches, could a cup run eased some

of the pressure on the Reading

manager Jaap Stam? There would be

left up against no -- no letup

against Stevenage. Jack King with a

lovely volley which made the Reading

keeper work. It says a lot that

their best chance came late and

through Liam Kelly. In a competition

that Jaap Stam one as a player, with

this one heading to a replay there

is still some way to go if he is to

replicate that achievement as a

manager. Pale January sunshine at

Carlisle revived memories of classic

third-round days of the past. With

Sheffield Wednesday losing five of

the last six, the locals sensed an

opportunity. The visitors looked

more threatening as this header

smacked the crossbar. The

Championship side went close again

when this second-half effort from

Joao clipped the post. This effort

was ruled out for offside. They

replay at Hillsborough by which time

Wednesday will have their new man in

the dugout. Arriving at Adams Park,

Preston manager Alex Neil all too

aware that Wickham pushed Tottenham

close last season. Harrop's stunning

opening setting pulses racing.

One

minute 30 on the clock, Harrop opens

the scoring for Preston North End.

Browne's lovely strike doubling

their advantage. But before the

break, a Wickham lifeline. O'Nien's

effort with a lucky deflection.

After the interval, Preston pushed

on and restored their 2-goal

cushion. Darryl Horgan getting the

rub of big green this time as the

Championship side seized control of

the tie. Things got worse for

Wickham. This happened right under

the referee's knows.

A penalty for

Preston. If he wanted his shirt he

should have just gone to the club

shop!

Browne converting. Not to be

outdone, Harrop would soon have his

brace, rounding off a lovely Preston

move. No upset for Wickham and not a

happy meeting for Gareth Ainsworth

against the club where he spent time

as a player. Mansfield would have

fancied their chances at Cardiff who

have lost their last four in the

league. Ten years after Cardiff

reached the final, just 6000 fans

braved the cold for this third-round

tie. Paterson's early effort was

saved by Logan who had a busy first

half. But then Alex MacDonald went

close for the Stags. Cardiff almost

one in injury time. Paterson's cross

inadvertently found Pearce who came

close to finding his own net. A

replay Steve Evans will relish more

than Neil Warnock.

replay Steve Evans will relish more

than Neil Warnock. Perhaps the

biggest shock of the lot was Notts

County knocking out Brentford. John

is get the scorer of the goal, the

talismanic figure who four years ago

propelled Bradford

talismanic figure who four years ago

propelled Bradford City

talismanic figure who four years ago

propelled Bradford City on that

fantastic run.

It was a brilliant

goal as well. He's cut inside and

has hit this so well. He started it

outside the post. Just a fantastic

finish. Using all his experience

there. Coming in off the right, get

the ball cutting inside and a

brilliant finish.

Brentford made a

lot of changes, the team

concentrating on promotion. That

kind of magic when they've had that

experience in the Cup with a lower

league side.

It's romantic.

We were

looking for some romance.

Jon Stead

gave us some.

And Clint Hill, 650th

match today for

gave us some.

And Clint Hill, 650th

match today for Carlisle, not for

Carlisle but in his career.

Outstanding achievement.

There were 2/3-round ties last night

beginning with a tasty Merseyside

derby.

-- two third-round ties last night.

COMMENTATOR:

-- two third-round ties last night.

COMMENTATOR: The penalty has been

given.

You can't put your arms

around your opponent in the box

there.

James Milner, Liverpool

goal-scorer tonight. The first

strike of the FA Cup third round

goes to Jurgen Klopp's Reds. Look

how quickly he is across. Firmino is

pushed to the side. Firmino has

reacted. We've had the first big

flash point of the Merseyside derby.

Firmino is in front of Holgate. That

is a needless push, he could have

injured himself there. Was the push

the only thing needed to be sorted

out here?

I don't think that's the

last we've seen of that one.

Mane

let it go. It wasn't the best of

corners. Can he get it over?

Jagielka plays it back and

Sigurdsson scores! Everton break

away and an Everton goal. Out of

nothing!

What about that for a

finish?

It's a decent looking

corner. Pickford didn't get it, Van

Dijk did! Liverpool are going again,

Virgil van Dijk!

That's what I paid

£75 million for him!

A clever ball. Russell. Three in the

box the Derby. The header is a good

one. Romero had to tip it over. In

goes the cross. Rushford against the

post. Marcus Rashford there, a lick

of paint away from giving Manchester

United the lead. Paul Pogba fig

United and brilliantly saved by

Carson.

Lingard on again. It's Rashford

against the post! It's hit the

woodwork again.

He strikes it

brilliantly. Inches away.

Lukaku.

What a goal from Jesse Lingard!

Magnificent strike. It roared past

Scott Carson and finds the top

corner. Manchester United 1-0 Derby

County. Can he turn and get the shot

away? Lukaku steps inside. Martial

backfill Lukaku to settle it up and

he does. The shot too strong for

Carson to keep it out. United have a

second goal and safe passage into

round four of the FA Cup. A couple

of updates from the Merseyside

derby. The FA are investigating that

clash between Holgate and Martial.

And

clash between Holgate and Martial.

And the sale for Philippe Coutinho

to Barcelona has gone through for

£142 million. What a piece of

business that is, and to resurrect

that deal. The player himself has

wait Ronchi well, the way he's

handled himself.

That's a key point.

He'd have had some disappointment if

he really wanted to go in the

summer. I put Liverpool handled it

well. The player went back to

performing, he hasn't complained and

maintained a high level of

performance.

When you consider how it started

off, the bridges that needed to be

repaired between Liverpool and

Southampton, Mike Ball has to take a

lot of credit for that because

Jurgen Klopp obviously wanted Van

Dijk, Van Dijk only wanted to go to

Liverpool, and that needed to be

done and when you see Van Dijk

scored a goal you can imagine Mike

Gordon was having a nice smile to

himself, building those bridges.

He

will have been involved in the deal

with Coutinho, that reaps the money

back they've spent on Van Dijk and

then some, so are they going to be

out spending in the rest of the

January window? We're hearing Mahrez

is being linked as a replacement.

I

don't think it will be a bad thing

to get someone like Riyad Mahrez, I

think you'll fit in there. Liverpool

are better equipped night with the

acquisition of Salah, who is

obviously a massive, massive bonus

to deal with the fact that Coutinho

is going to go. I think they can

deal with that now. It's not like a

disaster that he's leaving now. Why

bother now calling him Lionel Jesse,

he's on scintillating form.

He's in

great form, good news for England

going into the summer. Players like

him at that level scoring goals,

he's in the best form he's ever been

in and improving every time I see

him. Really good form for Jesse

Lingard.

Championship Norwich City have not

made it past the FA Cup third

round for the last four seasons.

Today, they welcomed Premier League

champions Chelsea to Carrow Road.

Simon Brotherton was watching.

Is one enforced change with Nelson

Oliveira not fit enough to start for

Norwich today, because of a foot

injury. Christian Zimmermann comes

into play in a three at the back.

Chelsea make nine changes to the

side that started Wednesday's 2-2

draw at Arsenal. Gary Cahill mixes

to the 50th start for the club and

Bakayoko stays in. David Luiz plays

for the first time since the 22nd of

November, having recovered from a

knee injury.

Forward here, collected by Josh

Murphy. Murphy, right across the

face of goal and Pritchard was

screaming for it in the centre. But

it's Norwich who are carrying the

greater threat here, so far. Josh

Murphy onside as the ball is played

forward. Some encouraging signs for

the Norwich City manager. In towards

Pritchard. Here's Madison, trying to

find a way past Drinkwater, and he

does. The first direct effort on

goal from Norwich City, almost on

the stroke of half-time. Done

everything else apart from trouble

Cavaleiro in the opening first half.

Bakayoko. Support from Pedro. Now

Willian. Looks for a chance to

shoot, finds it, good saved by Angus

Gunn. Download to his left. My

initial thought was the ball was

perhaps heading for the bottom

corner. Angus Gunn quickly down to

his left hand side. Given away by

Tom tribal. Batshuayi into Willian,

time for yellow shorts to get back

behind the ball but Willey-macro

keeps going here for Chelsea.

Straight at the goalkeeper though.

Good play by Willian again. Chelsea

unable to find a way past Angus Gunn

in the Norwich goal. Still not

really happening for Chelsea in this

third round tie.

Kenedy over on the far side,

Bakayoko striding forward. Free kick

conceded by Ram Hanley, who is going

to have his name taken here.

Stepping across, ushering Bakayoko

to the ground. Willian and David

Luiz the two players near the ball.

David Luiz strikes it, just over the

top of the bar. There was dip on

that one, but not enough to bring it

back down in time.

Away from Tom Tribal. Support from

Sterling, who wins Chelsea corner.

Putting a bit of pressure on here,

right at the last, and Norwich

haven't got that replay in the bag

yet.

Willian's delivery, away only as far

as Zappacosta, who puts it just wide

of the post. And Chelsea almost

sneaking a winner here, deep in

injury time at the end of the game,

through Zappacosta. That's how close

it was.

For us for sure it's not

simple to add another game because

it's very busy in the schedule, but

these are the rules. We knew very

well before the play that if you

draw, you have to repeat the game.

A

good thing for the club, perhaps it

doesn't help us for the league, but

it's like this, so I'm a deep

believer in Cup competition

otherwise we stand on the sideline

and don't want to take part in the

Kop competition. We want to go as

far as we can and we know today was

perhaps a bigger chance to beat

Chelsea than the away game, but

we'll try everything in two week so

whenever we play and we'll see what

happens.

Very strong lads from Jose

Mourinho yesterday. How would you

respond to that?

I think when there

are these types of comments, and you

try to offend a person, you don't

know the truth, I think you are

little man and he was a little man

in the past. He's a little man in

the present and maybe he will be a

little man also in the future.

This

is not going to end there, is it?

There's no way Jose Mourinho will

let those comments lie. It's a war

of words, a bit of handbags maybe.

It's getting quite nasty in respect

of Mourinho mentioning Juventus and

scandals stuff and now he's calling

him a little man, little man, little

man. I'm sure there will be

something else. It's not ideal, is

that? I think it stems from the

first time when Mourinho pulled

Conte of about celebrating and I

think Conte shouldn't have taken it

then anyway.

There wasn't too much

think Conte shouldn't have taken it

then anyway.

There wasn't too much

to celebrate about that much. It

won't go down in the annals as one

of the classic FA Cup third-round

ties but well done Norwich, holding

Chelsea.

Absolutely, I don't think

Chelsea made it difficult enough for

Norwich. They were quite comfortable

in defence. One of the main reasons

was their attacking play, Batshuayi.

When you

was their attacking play, Batshuayi.

When you consider the other day

Morata missing the chances, this is

an opportunity for him again and I

saw Alan Shearer do an analysis on

him, his movement is in very good. I

think we've seen in the bag Morata's

movement, he's trying to stretch, he

doesn't seem to be trying to

stretch, he doesn't go that way, and

on many occasions today as well, he

just wasn't in the right places in

the box. This is a weak shot in the

end. You want to see him on the last

defender, because he's got the pace.

He gets taken off and instantly

Morata comes on, you have David Luiz

on the ball in their half, trying to

stretch. I don't know what's going

to happen with me she, I do know if

he's trying to get in the team so he

can play to get away play to put

more pressure on Morata but it

doesn't look like it's happening for

him.

The difference as a defender,

you are happy all him for him to

come short. The moment someone

starts running you win behind it

just challenges you and ask a

question and he was too comfortable

for Norwich.

Even when he did go

short he was losing the ball. He's

in a bad place in respect of

confidence.

There were four more ties

today, each pitting sides

from the Championship

against one another.

In Northeast derby pitted two of the

newest managerial appointment in the

Championship against each other.

Tony Pulis will have been a happier,

as Middlesbrough took the lead

against Sunderland. Traore's when

feeding Gestede to open the scoring

after ten minutes. His first goal

since August. Middlesbrough

dominated the first half and

compound their superiority just

before half-time.

Downing from the

right, Steele has pushed it down,

2-0. Middlesbrough double their lead

and on course for the fourth round.

Sunderland rallied after the break

with teenage striker hitting the bar

before browning pulled a superb save

from Darren Randolph in a

Middlesbrough goal. Your bobbin deep

in attack and what a save, Darren

Randolph. Sunderland without a win

in the FA Cup since 2015 but bottom

of the Championship, plenty to

occupy the mind of Chris Coleman,

with the threat of relegation

looming large.

We are an

inexperienced team at the moment

that's where we are, there is

nothing new, we have to keep

ploughing on and try and utilise

this transfer window as best as we

can to add a bit of strength and

depth to what we've got.

In a

scrappy match at St Andrew's, Nigel

Clough's Burton Albion created more

chances and Ben Turner would have

given them a deserved lead just

after half-time but for Craig

Gardner's tiny intervention on the

line. Ten minutes later and

Birmingham scored the only goal,

with only shot on target. Brewers

winger Maghoma created the opening

for Gallagher to make it three wins

in a room for Steve

Cotterellresurgent team. -- three

wins in a row.

12th against seventh in the

Championship, Ipswich were looking

for a first win in the competition

since 2010. After an impressive

start to the season, Sheffield

United's recent slump has proved

difficult to hold and this was

hardly a classic. Up stepped

United's Nathan Thomas to provide

the one moment of magic in an

otherwise drab tie.

It was Millwall who lost to Barnsley

when these two last met in the lead

in September and where Brad Potts

put the away side in front history

looked to be repeating itself. But

Millwall striker Aidan O'Brien had

other ideas. Firstly, equalising for

the home side, firing home after

great work from Jed Wallace. Before

O'Brien then turned provider, just

after half-time, crossing for Ben

Thompson to give Millwall the lead.

Victory over Sunderland on New

Year's Day was Barnsley's first win

in 11 matches. Williams' desperate

lunge sign of their struggles, the

referee quick to show him the red

card. O'Brien would soon have his

second and Millwall's third, with a

well taken strike. Before Onyedinma

added a fourth, latching onto Steve

Morison's clever click. Millwall's

third goal in 14 minutes as they

finished with a flourish, hoping to

match their run to the quarterfinals

last season. New line macro

John Motson, Delyth Lloyd

and Damian Johnson across all

across all the action for us today.

Let's have a quick look

at tomorrow's papers.

the £142 million heist. The

Telegraph suggesting that Martin

O'Neill and Gary Rowett are in the

frame to take over from Mark Hughes.

That's about

frame to take over from Mark Hughes.

That's about it from all of us. My

thanks to Ian and Matt, it's a hard

shift, the 25 matches today, and you

have another one tomorrow.

Shrewsbury, West Ham put out a good

team, I'd like to see them have a

good run in the Cup.

You better make

your way down there, it's a

lunchtime kick-off. Enjoy it, safe

journeys home, both of you. Well

done to leak to Coventry City.

They've made it through to the

fourth round at the expense of

Premier League opposition of course,

in the shape of Stoke and when they

won the Cup in 87 they beat Stoke on

the way to the final. They couldn't

do it again, could they? Good night.
