FA Cup replay: Bolton 1-2 Liverpool

1. Coutinho completes Reds comeback
2. Danns sent off at 1-0 to Bolton
3. Gudjohnsen, 36, opened scoring
4. Winners face Crystal Palace in round five

That's us done for the night then, we'll see you all at the weekend. Cheers.

BBC Sport chief football writer

"Neil Lennon, asked what he didn't like about referee Roger East's performance: "I thought he was rubbish." There you go...."

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"By playing Emre Can in the back three, Steven Gerrard has the confidence to go forward as he knows that Can is confident on the ball."

There are 10 Premier League sides still in the FA Cup, with Bradford City of League One the lowest-ranked side still in.

We are guaranteed at least one Championship side in the last eight as Derby face Reading.

Yakubu to win it?

Manager reaction

Bolton boss Neil Lennon: "I'm not happy with the referee tonight at all. Neil Danns' first yellow card was not a booking and I'm not convinced that our penalty was a penalty either.

"This is a step up in class and you have to concentrate for 96 minutes. They scored two good goals but they could have been avoided. We were foot perfect for nearly 180 minutes in defence but it wasn't quite enough.

"The game's gone now but hopefully we can learn from that."

Lennon's long list

Derby, Fulham, Watford, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Brighton. Bolton's February list of fixtures is no easier.

The Trotters are 13 points off the play-offs and seven points above the relegation zone.

Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge: Emre Can gets better every time I see him. Could be a big player in the future for us. Proper football brain too! Philippe Coutinho deserved that goal!

Manager reaction

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers on BBC One: "It was always going to be a tough game. Neil Lennon's done a brilliant job at Bolton. Going 1-0 behind away from home put us on the back foot. I think you can see on the replay it was nowhere near a penalty. We must have hit the bar about five or six times but eventually the quality came through.

"You have to keep your patience and keep the width in the game, especially against 10 men. It was a great pass by Emre Can for the first goal and a great finish, and a wonderful finish for the second goal [from Philippe Coutinho].

"This is a competition we want to do well in and thankfully we're into the next round against Crystal Palace."

Busy month for Brendan

Everton, Spurs, Crystal Palace, Besiktas, Southampton, Besiktas.

That's the rest of Liverpool's February schedule as they still fight on three fronts.

Player reaction

BBC Radio 5 live

Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling talking on BBC Radio 5 live: "We had a few chances to score. When we kept hitting the woodwork I wondered if it was perhaps not our day, but we stuck in there and Philippe's winner was brilliant. He's just a magician."

Manchester United's trip to Preston North End and Aston Villa versus Leicester City are BBC One's two fifth-round television games.

League One Preston will host Manchester United at Deepdale on Monday, 16 February.

Leicester's trip to Villa Park is on Sunday, 15 February at 12:30 GMT.

Danny Murphy

Former Liverpool midfielder on BBC One

"The sending off of Neil Danns didn't help Bolton. Ultimately the quality of Liverpool shone through, but they rode their luck a bit."

Liverpool have reached the FA Cup fifth round in successive seasons for the first time since 1995 and 1996. Manchester United and Eric Cantona beat Liverpool in the final in 1996 - the cream suits year.

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"It's been a super game. Brilliant to watch. Bolton scored from a very debatable penalty but after the sending off, Liverpool really turned it on. The game was end to end. Great cup tie."

Player reaction

Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling on BBC One: "We had a few chances to put the game away but we didn't take it. It was a great team effort to stick in the game and get the win in the end.

"When we went 1-0 down and hit the post three times it didn't look like our day but we got there in the end. Philippe Coutinho has the magic to turn the game on its head and we saw that again."

The Bolton fans cheer their fans off the pitch. The Championship side put in a right shift but that needless red card has cost them in the last few minutes. Would they have won with 11 men? We'll never know.

FULL-TIME

Liverpool will play Crystal Palace in the fifth round after a late, late show. Bolton were five minutes away from a famous win.

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"It's been a great cup tie. It looked like it was going to extra time. There's been everything. Controversy, a red card and great goals."

Last minute, Liverpool have it deep in enemy territory...

Bolton have a free-kick... Liam Trotter has a header scrambled clear...

So Liverpool will head to Crystal Palace, unless Bolton can find a rabbit in the hat now. Neil Danns's red card hasn't half cost his side.

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"It's broken Bolton's heart, but what a brilliant goal by Philippe Coutinho. Both goals have been of the highest quality."

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"A special strike from a special footballer. Andy Lonergan has been fantastic, but Philippe Coutinho loves to cut in and bend it in to that corner."

GOAL

And there it is! Bolton's resistance is broken again but it is a cracking goal. Philippe Coutinho has had a few shots from 25 yards tonight but he saves the very best for last, a dipping strike which kisses the crossbar and finds the net. Andy Lonergan looks to the heavens. Nothing you can do about those mate.

Lars Nay: Can you are the man!

Mike: Emre Can has just pulled off the scoop pass we all desperately tried to master on the school playground.

Feargal Rooney: We are going to extra time, postpone the washing for another evening.

INJURY TIME

FIVE MINUTES added on. I'm sure the BBC One controller would quite like one side to score in them if that's OK.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"Liverpool are totally dominating at the moment. Bolton are finding it really difficult to get out from the edge of their own box."

Liverpool have set up base camp on the edge of the Bolton box. Can the Championship side hang on for extra-time?

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"Bolton were a little bit flat at the back. But the timing was perfect by Liverpool. An outstanding ball from Emre Can and a great finish by Raheem Sterling. A perfect team goal."

Neil Lennon is deflated on the bench. His side had put in a fine rearguard display since going down to 10 men but they had no answer to that goal.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"That goal has been coming. It was a brilliant pass over the top from Emre Can. Raheem Sterling ran off the back of Liam Trotter and the finish was brilliant - he didn't go for power, he went for precision."

GOAL

PA

Getty Images

Right on cue! Raheem Sterling digs Liverpool out of a hole with another excellent goal, and tips us towards the prospect of extra time. Emre Can has time to look up and loft a lovely ball over the top, Sterling watches it on to his left foot and steers a volley through the legs of Andy Lonergan. Cancel that birthday party for Steven Gerrard - for now anyway...

Spanish La Liga

Liverpool could do with a goal, could they do with Iago Aspas? The forward is on loan at Sevilla from the Reds and he has just pulled one back for the Spanish side at Real Madrid, who lead 2-1 with about five minutes left.

Steven Gerrard is five minutes away from being able to book the hog roast, bouncy castle and clowns for his birthday party...

Joseph Rawsthorne: The problem is that football is a contact sport but the commentators talk like its basketball back in the 80's the tackles that go in and now it's going like a non contact sport.

Roy Shelton: Yes the penalty was soft, but there are penalties like that every week in the Premiership where football is slowly becoming a non contact sport.

HITS THE WOODWORK

What a save! Emre Can on his left peg, a great hit and Andy Lonergan tips it onto the face of the bar. The crossbar is still shaking.

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"Brilliant run from Sturridge. Pressure is mounting on Bolton, it's all Liverpool at the moment. Real drama."

CLOSE!

Jordan Henderson cuts across it and curls wide from 20 yards. Liverpool are laying on some serious pressure now as we enter the last 10 minutes. Bolton hanging on.

A proper scramble. A stramash! Daniel Sturridge weaves across the 18-yard line with a lovely run, his shot is blocked, it pings around and falls for Raheem Sterling, and his low shot is also brilliantly blocked. David Wheater. The Wall.

Jack Thomas: We need a goal so Rodgers brings on Borini who has scored 2 goals in 23 appearances for Liverpool...nice one!

Carl James: Go Bolton Wanderers, make your dreams come true!

Tim Mann: Not Neil Lennon's biggest fan but he's arranged a very decent Bolton side. Looking like a team who could hold their own in the Premier League.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"When you go down to 10 men, you don't just have to do your own job, you have to do the job of two or three other players as well. There's no need for Liverpool to panic, particularly with the firepower they've got on the pitch."

Wasteful, wasteful from Steven Gerrard as he pings a Hollywood pass out of play. Of all people you would expect better from the skipper.

Liverpool have 15 minutes or so left. Can they find a way back into this game or will the 10 men see it out?

HITS THE WOODWORK

That is so unlucky! Jordan Henderson cracks in a drive from 25 yards which David Wheater gets a head to, but he can only head the ball against his own post and away!

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"Liverpool have dominated the possession and I think they will for the final 20 minutes. It's so important for Bolton that they keep filling the spaces in midfield."

Daniel Sturridge's first touch is a heavy one and the ball gets away from him but we could be on for a red siege now. Emre Can hits a deflected effort wide from 25 yards.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"I think it's a clever move from Neil Lennon - bringing on somebody to sit next to Josh Vela in midfield. Zach Clough can be proud of his night's work."

SUBSTITUTION

Zach Clough may have won this game for Bolton by winning that penalty but he's off now, as Liam Trotter comes on to lock up the midfield.

"What an opportunity that was for Eidur Gudjohnsen. Liam Feeney put in a great early cross and he had a clear header on goal - he'll be devastated with that miss."

Getty Images

CLOSE!

What a chance! That is the game right there! Matt Mills spreads it out wide, Liam Feeney has the quality to put in a fine cross which Eidur Gudjohnsen watches all the way. Pick your spot, pick your spot - and he fluffs a header into the turf. Easy save.

Emile Heskey would have buried that.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"It's going to be a fantastic last 20 minutes. We spoke about the space in behind this Bolton back three - I think it's perfect for Daniel Sturridge."

SUBSTITUTION

A substitution of real intent as Daniel Sturridge replaces Joe Allen, He receives warm applause from the home fans and adulation from the away end. Matt Mills is still up front for Bolton by the way.

Daniel Sturridge is now taking off his tracksuit top and will be with us shortly. Bolton are down to 10 but their crowd are in fine voice now.

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"It was a ridiculous challenge by Neil Danns, he didn't need to make it. He now puts his team under immense pressure. He shouldn't be clapped off the pitch by the fans, it was a silly mistake, which could cost his team."

CLOSE!

Quality from Zach Clough! Bolton have a real talent on their hands here as the youngster skips away from one challenge and instantly eats up 45 yards of grass ahead of him. Emre Can is the last man and sends him inside, Clough's low shot skidding into the side-netting.

Alex Haworth: That was never a penalty. Poor refereeing really. I thought it was a clear dive.

Vaughan McKee: This is an absolute joke how the Bolton players are allowed to knock Sterling around. I know how Chelsea fans feel about Hazard!

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"The look on Neil Lennon's face tells a story. You can't dive in like that when you're on a yellow card. He left the referee no choice. That's a disaster for Bolton."

RED CARD

A pet hate of mine, a player is sent off and gets clapped off. He's left his team in the lurch as Neil Danns picks up a second yellow for a late and unnecessary challenge on Joe Allen. Stay on your feet!

Bolton up against it now. Matt Mills may not be up front for much longer.

SUBSTITUTION

Lazar Markovic can't continue as Fabio Borini is on to play up front for Liverpool. Looks like Raheem Sterling will play on the right.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"It's still too early in the game for Bolton to sit back and defend the 1-0 lead. They need to keep pressing forward."

Lazar Markovic is back on but looks shaken. Fabio Borini is the striker warming up. I didn't call that one.

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Macron Stadium

"Bolton's fans are buoyant with expectancy now. Unwise from Martin Skrtel and Eidur Gudjohnson calmess itself from the spot. How long until Brendan Rodgers introduces Daniel Sturridge?"

Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic is down and needs some treatment. Liverpool take the chance to regroup. Daniel Sturridge must be coming on now?

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"Martin Skrtel didn't seem to make much contact but it's the fact that he lunged at Zach Clough, which has made up the referee's mind."

German Bundesliga

AP

All over in Dortmund and Jurgen Klopp's troubled side lose again, slumping to a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of 10-man Augsburg.

The result means Borussia Dortmund remain rooted to the bottom of the table with 16 points, two from safety.

Bolton on for another upset then. Liverpool had had all of the ball in the second half but one piece of trickery from Zach Clough and the hosts are in business.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"As the ball dropped to him, Zach Clough just dropped his shoulder and feinted to shoot, and there was the slightest of touches from Martin Skrtel. It was a brilliant penalty - so cool from Eidur Gudjohnsen."

Getty Images

GOAL

Cool as you like. The calmest man in the house. Eidur Gudjohnsen smashed a penalty into the top corner against Leeds a few weeks back, but this time he just waits for Simon Mignolet to dive and passes it in, Yakubu style.

Getty Images

PENALTY to Bolton

That's what Zach Clough can do! Quick feet takes him around the cumbersome tackle from Martin Skrtel and that's a penalty. Was there much contact? No...

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"Steven Gerrard has just gone a little bit further up into the position that Adam Lallana was in. That's a clever move by Brendan Rodgers because Steven Gerrard has got the quality to play those little balls through."

Liverpool win a corner, Liverpool waste a corner. Rickie Lambert and Daniel Sturridge on the bench. We may need one of them...

SUBSTITUTION

Jordan Henderson replaces Adam Lallana - is that an attacking move? David Wheater then sees yellow for clattering Raheem Sterling, who has been in the wars tonight.

Bolton can't get out at the moment.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"It was a great counter-attack. It was a wonderful challenge from Dorian Dervite - he had to get it right. You don't see many defenders catching Raheem Sterling."

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"The longer the game goes on, the more likely it looks like it will be a moment of magic that wins the game. As a former Bolton player, it's made for Sturridge."

GREAT SAVE!

You're in! Philippe Coutinho sends Raheem Sterling in with a cracking pass, Sterling just hesitates momentarily and Dorian Dervite makes a wonderful recovery challenge. Top class. Sterling then picks up the ball and curls one for the top corner, which Andy Lonergan saves at full stretch.

Can Liverpool find a way through?

Ivory Coast reach final

Bad news for Manchester City fans, Ivory Coast are into the Africa Cup of Nations final after beating DR Congo 3-1, their attacking strength ultimately proving too much.

They will play either Ghana or Equatorial Guinea - who play their semi-final tomorrow - in Sunday's final.

Empics

It's the Merseyside derby this weekend and Everton manager Roberto Martinez is in the stands tonight making some notes. Alberto Moreno almost skips into the box but the ball gets away from him. Raheem Sterling has another knock but seems to be OK. Daniel Sturridge could well be needed.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"Liverpool won't want to give away free-kicks in areas where Bolton can just get the ball into the box for the big men."

Steven Gerrard with his most important touch so far, an excellent clearing header from inside the six-yard box as Eidur Gudjohnsen closed in on a header. Bolton's diagonals still causing trouble.

Penalties. There, we were all thinking it. I've said it.

KICK-OFF

Back under way.

The players are back out at the Macron. Raheem Sterling and Philippe Coutinho look freezing! Ice station.

Former Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba on BBC One: "Zach Clough has been the best player on the pitch. He plays on the half-turn, is very direct and for his age is outstanding.

"Neil Lennon will be telling Bolton that they have played very well, all that is missing is putting the ball in the back of the net. I wish I was still playing but it's great to be here."

Liverpool had a shade under 60% of the possession in that first half but couldn't find a way through. Raheem Sterling's drive against the post was the best moment.

You can see that chance at the top of the page. Just click on the 'highlights' tab.

I don't think Crystal Palace will be too concerned about facing either of these two sides at the moment. Can we raise it?!

Spanish La Liga

Half-time in Spain where Real Madrid are seemingly on course for victory against Sevilla. After James Rodriguez's header, Real added a second when Jese Rodriguez struck. Jese had only been on the pitch barely 10 minutes because of an injury to James.

For stats lovers out there, the goals mean Real are the only team in any of the main European leagues to score in every game this season - 21 and counting.

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane at Macron Stadium

"Excellent game of football at the moment. Both sides have been one or two touches away from a goal. Zach Clough and Josh Vela are refreshing for Bolton."

Danny Murphy

Former Liverpool midfielder on BBC One

"Liverpool have looked really dangerous and carried on their good form of late. Philippe Coutinho has been superb. The only thing that's been missing has been the finishing."

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Macron Stadium

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"Philippe Coutinho is so good at that - cutting in from the left hand side onto his right foot, dropping his shoulder, committing defenders. He's such an important player for Liverpool."

HALF-TIME

That's 135 minutes of FA Cup play between these sides, no goals.

Could we be going to penalties?

CLOSE!

Philippe Coutinho shifts the ball onto his right foot and skims a curling effort just past the post. Great hit from the Liverpool number 10.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"Simon Mignolet looks a different keeper to the one we saw before Christmas, who looked so edgy. He was taken out of the firing line and he's come back full of confidence."

Ivory Coast in control

Ivory Coast are Ivory Coasting into the Africa Cup of Nations final as they lead DR Congo 3-1 with less than 20 minutes remaining. After Yaya Toure's stunner was cancelled out by a Dieumerci Mokani penalty, Ivory Coast took control as Gervinho sidefooted home before Wilfried Kanon poked in a rebound.

Follow the closing stages via our separate live text commentary.

Simon Mignolet again has to be alert to come off his line and punch a cross away, the Liverpool keeper looks back to his best.

Bolton are playing a high line and they are playing a dangerous game. Raheem Sterling is in over the top but he's called back for an incorrect offside flag. Liverpool then have further reason for complaint when Dorian Dervite trips Sterling but nothing is given.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"Zach Clough has had to do so much defensive work picking up Steven Gerrard and Joe Allen that when the ball has come to him he's been really disappointing on it."

Eidur Gudjohnsen rolls back the years with a classy turn in the centre circle to lose two men but his team-mates lose the ball. Can Bolton score tonight? I'm not convinced.

Getty Images

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"Brilliant turn and ball from Philippe Coutinho with the outside of his boot. He is really playing well. He spins away from the Bolton challenges so easily. The only way they can stop him is by fouling him."

German Bundesliga

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund are in action tonight and it is not good news for the struggling German side. As this despondent tweet from the club's official Twitter account tells you, they are losing 1-0 at home to Augsburg. However the visitors have just gone down to 10 men.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"Matt Mills has been really lively up front. Every time the ball has come up to him he's caused problems for Martin Skrtel."

Decent try from the stand-in forward Matt Mills as he thumps a shot down the throat of Simon Mignolet from 20 yards. Good connection but too close to the keeper.

Bolton are eight minutes away from half-time.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"Brilliant defending from David Wheater. He just stayed on his feet, he didn't dive in or commit himself. Philippe Coutinho had done everything right, danced past three players, but Raheem Sterling had a free shot if he'd squared it."

Mary Clarke: I want another FA Cup upset tonight. Come on Bolton!

LFC Way: There's a real confidence about Simon Mignolet now! Pleasing to see.

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Macron Stadium

"Bolton manager Neil Lennon will be reasonably satisfied with the opening half-hour - although Raheem Sterling came so close with that shot against the post. The Championship side look like they might get some joy against Liverpool in the air at set pieces but Liverpool have also got such pace on the break that Bolton simply cannot over-commit."

Daniel Sturridge gets a warm reception from both fans as he warms up, the natives recall his fine loan spell here a few years back.

David Wheater then continues his fine start with a Bobby Moore-esque challenge to cut Philippe Coutinho's mazy run off.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"They worked it really well from the left-hand side. It was such an intelligent turn from Adam Lallana and Dorian Dervite just stood too far off Raheem Sterling. The keeper was beaten."

HITS THE WOODWORK

Lovely play! Raheem Sterling gets the ball to feet inside the area, Bolton defender Dorian Dervite stands off, too far as it turns out. There doesn't appear to be too much danger but Sterling bends a shot around Dervite, with no backlift, and the ball cannons off the outside of the post.

Very unlucky.

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"Emre Can is so comfortable on the ball. He sets up most of Liverpool's attacks these days. I don't think he will continue in the back three as he's not a great defender. I think he certainly has the potential to be a long term replacement for Steven Gerrard."

PENALTY APPEAL

Getty Images

Liverpool wing-back Alberto Moreno powers into the area, David Wheater is done for pace again and tries not to make a challenge. Moreno goes down but that is tame and he is waved to his feet.

Pretty open game still - Neil Danns is booked for Bolton for treading on Joe Allen's feet.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"That is a centre-half's shot."

One of the worst shots you will ever see! Dorian Dervite - a centre-back by trade - winds up for a first-time thumper from all of 30 yards, there is a collective 'Don't do it!' in the stands but he takes it on anyway and the Bolton defender drags it, out for a throw on the far side.

It was such a bad strike it nearly turned into a good crossfield pass.

Midway through the first half of this evening's La Liga game between Real Madrid and Sevilla and the hosts have the lead, James Rodriguez heading in from the middle of the area.

Real are well on top, although Iker Casillas did have to make a key save inside the second minute to keep out the visitors and they lost defender Sergio Ramos to an early injury.

David Wheater is winning everything in the air, and the Bolton defender's flick-on almost finds Eidur Gudjohnsen in the box, Good sweeping up by Simon Mignolet though. Liverpool pegged back at the moment.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"The counter-attack is on for both teams because they're committing so many men forward. Bolton have just settled down into the game after a frantic start. They will get opportunities tonight, particularly from set pieces."

Bolton are unbeaten at home under Neil Lennon and are looking sharp now. Zach Clough is starting to find space in the the hole, and Eidur Gudjohnsen is getting on the ball more.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"Liverpool haven't been convincing this season from set pieces. Bolton threw all their big men forward and it was a good opportunity for David Wheater."

GREAT SAVE!

Excellent run from Neil Danns and Bolton have a free-kick in a dangerous spot on the edge of the box. It's wide - can they find a good delivery?

It is a good ball in, and David Wheater wins the header at the front post and Simon Mignolet has to be sharp to make the stop. Bolton having a good spell.

AFP

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"It was a similar chance [16 mins] to one Eidur Gudjohnsen had at Anfield. For someone of his quality, he should be hitting the target. I think every time Bolton get the ball in wide areas they've got to get it in the box and put pressure on the Liverpool back three."

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Macron Stadium

"Bolton trying to pressurise Liverpool into mistakes but the Premier League side have carved out space and a couple of decent opportunities, with veteran keeper Andy Lonergan twice saving well from Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling. Plenty of encouragement for Neil Lennon's side from the home fans but not too much to trouble Liverpool's defence so far."

Getty Images

Steven Gerrard's new boots to mark his 700th game for the Reds. I'm assured he doesn't actually have a new pair for every single game - that would be a nightmare wouldn't it? They never fit too well fresh out of the box.

Andy Marshall: Anyone else hope that Gerrard scores and gets us through? Would be a brilliant 700th game for him!

Matt Shannon: Looks like the Bolton defence are wanting to swap shirts with Sterling already.

Eidur Gudjohnsen is making me look silly. I said that if you gave him time and space he's still got it, but he has both and shanks a left-footed strike miles over the bar.

That is a very presentable chance for Bolton.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"It was good hands in the end from Andy Lonergan. It was a devastating counter-attack again from Liverpool, led by Lazar Markovic, Raheem Sterling just got in behind David Wheater and really unbalanced him."

GREAT SAVE!

Chance! Great counter from Liverpool frees Raheem Sterling to run at David Wheater, which ends in predictable circumstance. Sterling glides past the centre-back and get a shot off but Andy Lonergan keeps it out, gathering the loose change too from in front of a red shirt.

If Zach Clough can't last the pace, I've got no chance. Liverpool are growing with stature by the minute and Philippe Coutinho is the latest to have a dig from 20 yards, scuffing one wide. Neil Lennon is engaging fourth official Stuart Attwell in a lengthy chat.

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane

"Zach Clough is looking impressive. He has started with high energy but as he is young, I don't know if he'll be able to keep it up."

The first sighting of Bolton starlet Zach Clough is a promising one, winning the ball from Joe Allen and then driving at the heart of the Liverpool side, only for Steven Gerrard to muscle him off it. Clough needs to bulk out but the stadium is already coming alive every time he gets the ball.

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane at the Macron Stadium

"Bolton have to be careful about Philippe Coutinho cutting in from the left, as if he's allowed to shoot, he can cause problems. They need to watch out for Liverpool hitting them on the break."

Raheem Sterling rolls his ankle but after a few moments of treatment he appears to be OK. Liverpool - and England - need him to stay fit all season.

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"I thought Raheem Sterling started the season poorly. But there's been a change in the last month in the speed that Liverpool have played at and I think it's coincided with Sterling playing more centrally. It suits him a lot better and everything seems to come through him."

Apparently if the Premier League had started on Boxing Day Liverpool would be top. But it didn't, so they aren't.

But they are now beginning to play very nice football, Adam Lallana and Raheem Sterling involved in teeing up Steven Gerrard, but his side-footer from 20 yards is tame.

Getty Images

Adam Lallana floats into space on the left of the box and his cross is excellent - but there's nobody in there to tap it home. A cracking delivery.

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"I think it's important for the back line of Bolton, with Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana playing in those little pockets, that they don't drop too deep and allow them to create space in there."

The large travelling support sing the Steven Gerrard song which references his size and supposed prowess in a fight, but it's all Bolton so far. Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho goes in for a header and as usual, nobody could guess where the ball will end up. Play along at home, you'll never be close. He must have a head shaped like Kryten off Red Dwarf.

Matt Mills is up front, with Eidur Gudjohnsen and Zach Clough both dropping off behind him for Bolton. Second ball!

Phil Neville

Former Manchester United defender on BBC One

"It's a wonderful achievement for Steven Gerrard. I don't think many players will get to 700 appearances for one club going forward in the modern era. I think he's such a massive influence for the football club and I'm amazed he's been allowed to leave."

KICK-OFF

Game on in a very flat sounding Macron Stadium.

Steven Gerrard scored the crucial goals the last time Liverpool won the FA Cup in 2006. Can he do it again?

Matt Mills up front could be a genius move from Bolton. It could also be a disaster. Only time will tell.

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Macron Stadium

"Nothing even close to a full house here at Bolton for this FA Cup fourth round replay with Liverpool - but those inside the Macron Stadium have just been treated to a good blast from some local bagpipers. Bolton boss Neil Lennon will be familiar with that skirl following his days at Celtic."

Here we go then, the teams are in the tunnels in Bolton. They have two - in many ways it's England's answer to the Bernabeu.

Danny Murphy

Former Liverpool midfielder on BBC One

"Success and longevity at one club isn't common these days. Steven Gerrard has been everything good about Liverpool these last few years and he's been pivotal at their trophy-winning moments. He'll sense an opportunity now Chelsea and Manchester City are out of the Cup."

In exchange for that advert for John McGinlay's pub in Bolton, he agreed that every fan who shows him this live text commentary on their phone can have a free drink.

*That may not be true...

Danny Murphy

Former Liverpool midfielder on BBC One

"Liverpool's turnaround has been huge and Brendan Rodgers deserves great credit. Defensively they're not conceding, they're creating more now, and Daniel Sturridge coming back can give them that boost to go on and finish in the top four. I think tonight is a real opportunity for them."

I went to see Bolton a few weeks ago and while Eidur Gudjohnsen has now lost his pace, if he is given time and space he can still pick a pass. You never lose it, so I'm told...

Bolton striker Emile Heskey, in the BBC One studio: "Neil Lennon's done fantastic. He's instilled a bit of confidence in the lads and some of them are playing out of their skin. I know for a fact he'll have a real go at Liverpool tonight."

A great VT of some of Emile Heskey's best goals at Liverpool there. It's quite worrying that his Bolton team-mate Zach Clough is probably too young to even remember when Emile could power down the wing.

Clough was born in March 1995.

BBC One pundit Fabrice Muamba will make an emotional return to the FA Cup this evening three years after he nearly lost his life playing in the tournament.

Muamba was playing for Bolton against Tottenham in a quarter-final in March 2012 when he collapsed suddenly and went into cardiac arrest. Despite his heart being stopped for 78 minutes, the midfielder's life was by quick-thinking medical personnel and he went on to make a full recovery.

Sadly however, Muamba was forced to retire from football. Since then, he has studied for a journalism degree,appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, and even had a UK number-one single.

FA Cup history

Liverpool

PA

Won the FA Cup seven times and lost seven more finals. Only Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal have won more.

Liverpool's last win came in 2006 - Steven Gerrard howitzer at Cardiff - while they lost the 2012 final to Chelsea.

FA Cup history

Bolton Wanderers

PA

Won the FA Cup on four occasions, losing three more finals. They beat West Ham 2-0 in 1923 - the first final at Wembley, AKA 'The White Horse final' - Manchester City 1-0 in 1926, Portsmouth 2-0 in 1929 and Manchester United 2-0 in 1958. They're due one.

In recent times they reached the semi-final under Big Sam in 2000, and were hammered 5-0 by Stoke in the 2011 semis.

Just look at that crowd in 1923. An estimated 300,000 were inside Wembley. Amazing.

That's roughly the entire population of modern-day Nottingham. In one stadium...

BBC Radio 5 live's Kevin Kilbane at the Macron Stadium

"Ever since the Swansea game in December when Liverpool won 4-1, we've seen Liverpool comfortable without possession and they've built up momentum from then. Lucas has been pivotal in their recent resurgence though, so it will be interesting to see how they get on without him."

Liverpool start with Joe Allen and Steven Gerrard in midfield tonight.

"He might get one noooowwww....!"

BBC

"You have to say that's magnificent."

Bolton's goalless trip to Anfield 10 days ago may not have been the most exciting game ever, but hold on to your hats tonight.

The last time Liverpool drew 0-0 in the FA Cup was against Everton in 1991. And the replay was this absolute pearler of a 4-4 draw at Goodison. Watch, listen and savour.

Barry Davies. Commentary's zenith.

Now then young man

Emile Heskey is injured, Adam Le Fondre is cup tied, so it's all about young Zach Clough for Bolton now.

Zach who? Well he's 19 and has scored three goals in two professional games in his career, with all three being pretty special.

A slaloming run through the Wigan defence, and a cracking free-kick and a twinkle-toed individual finish against Wolves at the weekend.

He could make a real name for himself tonight. Get at Mamadou Sakho!

Bolton manager Neil Lennon: "It's nice to have the big names back again and under the lights it's always a special occasion.

"We're playing Matt Mills up front. With Emile [Heskey] sitting in that warm [BBC One] studio, Max Clayton injured and Adam Le Fondre cup-tied, we're a little bit short and we need a bit of physicality up there. I remember Matt Elliott doing it for Leicester - Matt is Matt Mills's father-in-law so there's a bit of a connection there. We're hoping the ball will stick up there with him up front.

"Bradford [beating Chelsea] was an amazing result and we wanted to be part of that and thankfully we're still in the competition.

"I don't want to build Zach Clough up too much but we think he's a very talented young player and I've no hesitation playing him tonight."

'Sturridge is not ready'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers: "We expect a tough game but it's a competition we want to do well in.

"Steven Gerrard had a precautionary rest at the weekend, he felt his hamstring but he is very important to us.

"Daniel Sturridge is not ready to start yet. It's very early on in his comeback and we've just got to manage that integration back into the team. He is very determined to make up for missing five months of the season but he's also realistic."

Team News

Bolton manager Neil Lennon says he is playing defender Matt Mills up front. There are three changes from the side which drew 2-2 with Wolves. Eidur Gudjohnsen is back in.

What's your best/worst birthday story?

A bit of news from across the FA Cup as a whole this afternoon: West Ham have been fined £71,000 by Fifa for breaching rules over striker Diafra Sakho but no action has been taken over their place in the FA Cup.

Striker Sakho withdrew from Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations squad with a back injury but scored 18 days later in West Ham's Cup 1-0 win at Bristol City.

Bristol City say they are disappointed by the penalty and are "considering their options". Fifa has reprimanded both West Ham and the 25-year-old forward.

Football's governing body says a player cannot appear for his team when he should be on international duty.

But the Hammers, who got £90,000 from the FA prize fund for winning their fourth-round tie, have escaped potential expulsion from the FA Cup and will travel to West Brom in round five on Saturday 14 February.

Who's on the sofa?

Africa Cup of Nations semis

The mighty Ivory Coast are odds-on favourites to beat DR Congo

There is a touch of 'Bolton v Liverpool' in the first of the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals - as DR Congo take on powerhouse Ivory Coast.

Odds-on favourites Ivory Coast - aka The Elephants - have a squad that includes Manchester City pair Yaya Toure and Wilfried Bony, Newcastle's Cheick Tiote and Roma's Gervinho. Oh, and Liverpool's Kolo Toure.

But they face a DR Congo side - aka The Leopards - that came back from 2-0 down to beat neighbours Congo 4-2 in the quarters. And they have Crystal Palace livewire Yannick Bolasie the perfect 'David' to down Goliath.

Anything can happen. The live text is running and kick off is at 19:00 GMT.

Don't fade away

"It's better to burn out than fade away."

Getty Images

A motto shared by both Neil Young and Kurt Cobain, and now seemingly by Dean Holdsworth too.

What do you reckon Liverpool fans? Rest is best for Daniel Sturridge? Or should Brendan Rodgers have chucked him in?

'Liverpool needed Sturridge'

Former Bolton forward Dean Holdsworth speaking before the teams were called out: "Liverpool are a fantastic football club and with Daniel Sturridge in the side they are even stronger and I'm sure Bolton will have done their preparation with or without him in the team.

"When we see the line-ups I'm sure the Liverpool fans will want to see him from the start and if he burns out, he burns out. He is a goal threat and they do need that."

The Lennon effect

You can't move for Lennon mentions on Merseyside at the moment.

As Aaron Lennon moves to the home city of John, it's Bolton boss Neil who comes under the spotlight this evening.

Wanderers are unbeaten at home since former Celtic boss Lennon took charge in October, and the man who won two Wembley finals with Leicester is hoping to send the Championship side closer to another grand day out...

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Macron Stadium

"Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers will recognise the threat posed by Bolton Wanderers after they earned a goalless draw in the FA Cup fourth round at Anfield - but he will feel this competition represents a realistic chance of silverware after Chelsea and Manchester City fell by the wayside.

"Bolton boss Neil Lennon, meanwhile, has got what it takes to engineer the big result as he proved when Celtic beat Barcelona in the Champions League in November 2012. A win here against Liverpool in the replay at the Macron Stadium will enhance his managerial reputation in England after his successes north of the border."

Liverpool

Steven Gerrard starts for Liverpool in one of two changes, but Daniel Sturridge is kept on the bench. Don't rush him back.

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Allen, Gerrard, Moreno, Markovic, Lallana, Coutinho, Sterling

Sturridge to start?

EPA

Bolton have plenty of injury worries for tonight's game, but Liverpool have the opposite as they ponder whether to hand striker Daniel Sturridge a start.

The 25-year-old came off the bench to score against West Ham last weekend but hasn't started a game for the Reds since 31 August.

Is tonight the game to bring him back in?

Sturridge had a successful loan spell at Bolton in 2011, scoring eight Premier League goals in 11 starts.

That was a rather drab 0-0 at Anfield. Tonight we surely get the fireworks?
