    FT: Birmingham 2-1 Lincoln

    This wonder-strike from Scotland international Lyndon Dykes, the winner as Birmingham beat Lincoln this lunchtime, is a strong contender for best goal of the FA Cup third round.

  2. Sutton's predictionpublished at 14:50 Greenwich Mean Time

    Norwich v Brighton (15:00 GMT)

    Sutton's prediction: 0-2

    What a win for Johannes Hoff Thorup's Norwich at the weekend. It harked back to the Daniel Farke era, with us scoring two stoppage time goals to beat Frank Lampard's Coventry.

    The guy who got them both, Amankwah Forson, has had a difficult start to his Norwich career, but he took them brilliantly.

    The issue my old club have, and I wrote an article about this earlier the week,, external is that Ashley Barnes has gone back to Burnley, leaving Josh Sargent as their only recognised striker.

    Sargent has been injured this season and has only played 12 Championship games, which is less than half, so it is a gamble to rely on him to stay fit.

    I'd love to say Norwich will win this, but I actually think Brighton will go through.

    They could do with a victory too because, although they performed really well against Arsenal, they have not won for eight games.

    It pains me to say this, but I am going with the Seagulls to take out the Canaries.

    QPR are back in it!

    Harry Winks gives the ball away - just as he did for QPR's opener. He plays a poor backpass which only reaches QPR's Rayan Kolli and the teenager lashes in.

    No disrespect to the FA cup and it's rich history and the fact I'm happy to see some back up players get a run out but this is a distraction when Sunderland are 3 points off the top of the championship given that I would still like to see us win and get a Premier league side so we can put our full strength squad out and measure how well we will do should we go up come the end of the season.

  7. Sutton's predictionpublished at 14:45 Greenwich Mean Time

    Nottingham Forest v Luton (15.00 GMT)

    Chris Sutton
    BBC Sport football expert

    Sutton's prediction: 1-0

    When these two teams met in the Premier League in March it was a relegation six-pointer, but they have gone in totally different directions since.

    Forest just keep on winning and it is incredible that they are being talked about now as being in the title race.

    Their manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, will definitely tinker with his team because they play Premier League leaders Liverpool on Tuesday, but they should still have enough to get through.

  8. Luton begin post-Edwards erapublished at 14:43 Greenwich Mean Time

    Nottingham Forest v Luton (15.00 GMT)

    Luton Town boss Rob Edwards left the club by mutual consent on Thursday, with the Bedfordshire side facing a second successive relegation battle.

    The 42-year-old was appointed in November 2022 and steered The Hatters to promotion back to the top flight for the first time in over 30 years in 2023 when they beat Coventry City on penalties at Wembley.

    He remained at the helm despite relegation from the Premier League after just a single season, but a run of four straight defeats has left them 20th in the Championship.

    His assistants, Richie Kyle and Paul Trollope will be in charge of the team for today's game.

    QPR keeper Joe Walsh hasn't made a save yet. Leicester have scored all three of their efforts on target.

    FT: Liverpool 4-0 Accrington Stanley

    Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to ITV: "Credit to them, I think they showed their style of play, which is a big compliment.

    "They played the same style as they always play. In the end, of course, the difference in quality makes a big difference for us, but compliments to them with how they showed up today."

    On Rio Ngumoha being Liverpool's youngest starter in the FA Cup: "He did well. There were a few moments where the fans could see why we think he's a talent. He is good in one-v-one situations.

    "He showed a bit more in the first half than in the second half. It is nice to get your debut and get the win. It is a special day for him."

    On Trent Alexander-Arnold's performance: "Trent didn't have his best game against Manchester United, but for the rest of the season he has been so good for us - I liked his performance today.

    "Our fans have always given him a lot of support. He didn't play well once, but fans reacted to that. If Trent just plays what we expect from him, then he gets support."

    On Federico Chiesa's first goal for Liverpool: "It is definitely a good first step, but as much as I liked the way Accrington Stanley played we have to take into consideration that we're talking about League Two level.

    "It is good to have him back on the pitch. He was a threat, but let's not get carried away."

    Sunderland v Stoke may not be the most glamorous of FA Cup third round ties - but try telling that to these fans.

    These two have rich histories in this rich competition; Stoke reached the final in 2011 - Sunderland won it famously in 1973.

    Big chance for QPR to take the lead. Leicester will give the ball away at the back in whatever competition they play in. Koki Saito picks out Rayan Kolli in the box but the teenager shoots over.

  20. 'First-team football is tough'published at 14:28 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Liverpool 4-0 Accrington Stanley

    Liverpool

    Liverpool forward Jayden Danns, speaking to ITV: "I'm delighted to get my goal.

    "I've been out for a while, five months. First-team football is a different intensity to any other football.

    "I made an impact last season, I am young and there's a lot more to do and a lot more I can do."

    On Rio Ngumoha: "As soon as he come on he was lightning and I am so proud of him."

    On Accrington Stanley: "They offered a lot and first team football is tough and they're big lads, but it was a good challenge and I think I did well - hopefully more to come.

    "The manager put faith in me today and I am grateful for it."
