I worked with Aitor Karanka at Middlesbrough, and he wants to win every game

Today is no different, He's a great manager and wants a cup run and you can see that in his team selection, just one change.

I think he's got a big future in the game and a good fit for Nottingham Forest.

And we are up and running at the KCOM Stadium, shortly followed by everywhere else in the 15:00 GMT kick-offs.

It'll be quite even depending on how Huddersfield look at it.

The teams fighting at the bottom of the Premier League tend to give up a cup run, so Birmingham can cause an upset.

Championship leaders Wolves are without a win in four games - could they be getting a bit of vertigo at the top of the pile?

Leicester made a clutch of changes for the trip to Peterborough - and it all came up roses for Claude Puel as his side swatted aside the Posh 5-1.

Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice, but so did Fousseni Diabate on his debut.

The 22-year-old striker arrived earlier this month from the French second tier for a reported fee of £4.4m.

He had underwhelming stats of three goals in 20 games this season, but looked the business today by all accounts.

Another gem dug up by the Foxes.
