    Eastleigh club captain Ben Strevens says "anyone in the top four would be brilliant" to draw in the FA Cup fourth round.

    National League Eastleigh, the lowest-ranked team left in the hat, came within three minutes of knocking out Championship club Bolton on Saturday only for Darren Pratley's equaliser to guarantee a replay.

    "We're hoping for a good side in the draw," midfielder Strevens told BBC Radio Solent. "A Premier League team away would be lovely."

    You can watch the fourth round draw from 19:15 on the One Show on BBC One or follow updates on the BBC Sport website.

    Wales will be based in Brittany at Euro 2016 this summer, with Chris Coleman's squad staying in the coastal resort of Dinard.

    It sounds pretty nice to be fair - Dinard is known as the 'Cannes of the North', with its beaches and mild climate making it a popular holiday destination.

    Gareth Bale and company will stay at the Novotel Thalassa Dinard, a spa resort which has hosted top European teams such as Paris St Germain and Bordeaux and will also be used by the France national team later this year.

    West Brom’s Saido Berahino looks like being a man in demand during the present transfer window.

    Berahino has not started for the Baggies since October and his goal against Bristol City on Saturday was his fourth of the campaign.

    Tottenham had four bids for the 22-year-old turned down in the summer and, along with Newcastle and Liverpool, have been linked with Berahino this month.

    BBC Sport understands there have been no formal moves for Berahino in January – yet. But that is likely to change.

    Veteran AS Roma forward Francesco Totti vowed to play on for another two years in a light-hearted birthday message to his former team mate Daniele Conti.

    Totti, 39, has spent his entire career at the Italian capital club while the 37-year-old Conti left Roma to join Cagliari in 1999.

    "You're getting old... I've heard that you're training to become a coach... I'm playing two more years, so if you want me to play (for you), I'm coming," Totti said.

    Totti made his Serie A debut in 1992 and became Roma captain in 1998. He has played 592 games in Italy's top flight, third on the all-time list behind AC Milan's Paolo Maldini (647) and Inter's Javier Zanetti (615).

    How much inspiration did Gareth Ainsworth give his players?

    Wycombe midfielder Matt Bloomfield says boss Gareth Ainsworth inspired their FA Cup third-round draw with Aston Villa.

    Wycombe trailed 1-0 at half-time, but levelled to take it to a replay.

    "He said 'you're 1-0 down but right in this game - 1-0 isn't an easy scoreline for a team that hasn't won a game in as long as them'," revealed Bloomfield.

    "He said 'you're already winners to get the tie financially for the club - we were able to take his inspirational words and put them into action."

    In 2008 the former billionaire signed a controversial agreement with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for a multi-million pound series of matches.
