    Welcome everyone!

    A cracking atmosphere in place at Valley Parade as we await our second FA Cup game of the day. The travelling Sunderland hordes are trading chants with the Bantams faithful. The pitch is a shocker, it could be yet another upset at the hands of the League One side...

    OK, stick with us for reaction from that game but now it is time to make a swift, digital leap north to West Yorkshire, as giant killers Bradford host Sunderland. Can the Bantams produce another upset? Tom Rostance is the man to guide you through that one.

    Mike, London: Ciaran Clark's hard hitting tackles are as good as you'll ever see. So rarely gets them wrong and lifts the Villa Park crowd. Great player.

    Liz, Bromsgrove: Well done the Blue Peter Boys on your commentary! Entertaining and informative. The BBC professionals should be worried!

  4. FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:22 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    All over and Aston Villa hold on! They are through to the FA Cup quarter-finals and Tim Sherwood's half-time intervention appeared to have the desired impact.

    ...now Tim Sherwood waits by the stairs, he is struggling to watch.

  6. Postpublished at 14:22 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Some furious hand waving from Tim Sherwood in the directors' box. He'll want his players to keep their focus as Leicester come forward...

  7. Postpublished at 14:21 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Into the second minute of four added on. Andrej Kramaric wants another, but shoots well over. Time is running out.

    "Look at that for a header. What a header. Villa thought they had the game won but Hutton's got to do better there."

  9. GOALpublished at 14:19 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Lovely finish! Andrej Kramaric leaps high to power in a header from a cross and suddenly, it is game on. Can they get an equaliser?

    Save..oh it's in! Scott Sinclair scores his first Aston Villa goal, with a big helping hand from Mark Schwarzer. The Leicester keeper has made some decent saves, but he won't want to watch this one again as he spills Sinclair's tame shot into his own net. A first goal since August 2012 for Sinclair.

    Alan Hutton holds of Jeff Schlupp as the Leicester man tries to wriggle past him on the left, and then starts an Aston Villa attack which ends with Christian Benteke's low deflected shot held by Mark Schwarzer.

    BBC Sport's Peter Scrivener at Valley Parade: The pitch here is already cutting up badly and we're only in the warm-up. City like to play football too though so it's hardly a huge help for the home side. No Jermain Defoe for Sunderland - is Gus Poyet going long ball?

    "Aston Villa are getting a little bit nervy, dropping a little bit deeper. There is a little less quality when they win the ball back in deep positions. They need to show cool heads now."

  14. Postpublished at 14:13 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Riyad Mahrez curls in a free-kick for Leicester but Shay Given reads it well, running out to claim ahead of any blue shirts.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:11 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Aston Villa make a change as Andreas Weimann is replaced by 19-year-old winger Jack Grealish. Fresh legs for the final few minutes.

    "Since the change to 4-4-2 Leicester look like a totally different team. Matthew James has gone past both strikers to make a forward run. But it had to be done.

    "Andrej Kramaric has really come alive since he has got a strike partner. He looks like a real player now."

  18. Postpublished at 14:09 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    What could a win against their relegation rivals, albeit in the cup, do for Aston Villa's confidence? They clearly have talented players, as shown by this second half performance. They've got 10 minutes to hold out for a potentially morale-boosting win.

    "Scott Sinclair undoubtedly lost his way at Manchester City. There's obviously the allure of a big money move, where you're going to earn a lot more money, but are you going to play there? Obviously, he hasn't."
