With a few sides still involved in the cup, there are seven games on today and the pick, so far, is Gillingham 2-2 Oldham. The hosts were two ahead in 14 minutes through John Marquis but Latics had levelled by the half's midway point.

Half-time in the four Championship fixtures of the day and bottom club Blackpool are two up away to Watford. Andrea Orlandi got the first, and Steve Davies got the second three minutes before half-time. Norwich and Brentford are level at 1-1, while Wigan against Huddersfield and Wolves against Charlton are both goalless.

"Victor Anichebe looked like he had put this tie firmly in West Bromwich Albion's grasp with two goals but in stoppage time Jonathan Grounds came up from left-back and got one back. Now the question is, can Birmingham continue their recovery in the second half?"

"No goals but a good half. An excellent display by Tomas Mejias is the reason we haven't seen a goal. The Spaniard in the Middlesbrough goal has repelled shot after shot."

Half-time whistles being blown up and down the country. Plenty of goals, not too many shocks on the cards as we stand.

"City have been very fluent, Boro have done well to stay in the game and City can be vulnerable, but going forward they have looked very good."

Plenty of boos from the home fans at the end of a particularly tepid first half.

The fight back could be on! Lloyd Dyer crosses towards the near post and Jonathan Grounds steals in to poke home.

There's controversy at White Hart Lane as Andrej Kramaric is put through on goal by Danny Drinkwater and as he rounds Michel Vorm he looks to be fouled by the Tottenham keeper. The Leicester man is booked for simulation though.

"He's local, an ex-player and he's galvanised the club - he was the right appointment."

After a cut-back from the right from the impressive Jimmy Ryan, Sam Clucas finds himself with time and space in the box but fires wildly over the bar with a first-time shot on his right foot. Chesterfield still very much in this one.

Hello! Maybe the big shock is back on after all! Jon Stead, formerly of the Premier League, rolls back the years to show his class with a bullet of a shot on his left foot. Catches it sweet as a nut and Petr Cech is beaten for pure pace at his near post. Cech gets a hand on it but can't keep it out. The travelling Bradford fans go mad. Quite right too.

A one-man mission from Middlesbrough keeper Tomas Mejias - not usually first-choice either! He flies away to his left this time to beat clear a curler from Stevan Jovetic.

Final score

"It's a carbon copy of the first goal. Saido Berahino finds that space in virtually the same area of the pitch as he did for the first, and again just rolls the ball into Victor Anichebe. He just backs into you and backs into you until he has a scoring chance - and that is what will happen."

Alan Pardew is working his magic at Crystal Palace as not only have Marouane Chamakh and Yaya Sanogo both scored, but Chamakh now has his second, chesting a diagonal ball down, rounding the keeper and firing in.

Clinical. Ramires muscles the ball off a Bradford man on the halfway line, turns and sprints in on goal. He exchanges a neat one-two with Mo Salah and then clips the shot in off the far post. Just too good.

Middlesbrough have got a good keeper here in Tomas Mejias. Another top stop from the former Real Madrid man as he stretches to turn away David Silva's deflected effort.

This is very much the Victor Anichebe show. The burly striker uses his strength to shrug off Michael Morrison, leaving him one-on-one with the keeper and he makes no mistake.

Birmingham came back from two-goals down against Blyth Spartans earlier in the cup, could they...?

Nathan Redmond has just drawn Norwich level with Brentford after Jota had given the away side the lead. Bottom club Blackpool are leading 1-0 at Watford, while there's still no goals between Wigan and Huddersfield, or Wolves and Charlton.

Are Sheffield United's recent cup exertions taking their toll? They were in League Cup action in midweek against Tottenham and they are looking a little off colour today. They have a chance with a free-kick on the edge of the Preston area, but Ben Davies shoots well, well wide.
