This was the chance right at the end of the first half that fell to Leicester.

Some excellent Newcastle retro kits in the club shop. Although always a bit depressing when you remember the retro kits vividly.

The pace and the way Leicester are moving it today might be a little bit too much for Brentford. They haven't quite got to grips with what Leicester have given them. But if they can just sharpen up, Brentford, there is still only one goal in this.

We're currently having a half-time discussion about whether Wagon Wheels class as a biscuit, confectionary or a cake?

There's only one answer for me. Feel free to give a strong opinion on the matter.

You thought that Brentford are going to get overrun and you worry a little bit, but they have grown into the game, but the difference in quality has shown. Luke Daniels has had to work whereas with Brentford's chances they have missed the target on all of them so far, so they have not really worked the goalkeeper.

Some good football from both sides. It started off really well from a Leicester point of view and they scored a wonderful goal. With the lack of experience in that Brentford side it might have been easy for them to crumble but they haven't. They have been bright on the ball, they have been sharp, they have worked extremely hard and they have come back into the game and had one or two chances so it has been a very good half.

Birmingham fan Mark Watson tells me there's a rumour sweeping the Blues fan base that Coventry supporters plan to hold up a banner during the game thanking Birmingham for letting the Sky Blues use St Andrew's for home games this season.

"I actually think it wil be a nice gesture if it happens," Watson said.

"A lot of Coventry fans said 'why do we want to go to Birmingham?' when the groundshare was announced last summer and it came across as a bit ungrateful. I don't think it was intended like that - I think they were basically saying 'look at the state we are in'."

Jack and his mate (the ones at 1.35 who have been to every round), please tell me you have your ticket booked for the final?

What a journey!

Brentford had to hang on at the start but they've got better and better. Maybe they've not had that cuteness of final, and they're missing the normal three strikers. It's a really good FA Cup tie.

The better and cleverer chances have been carved out by Leicester, fair enough, but Marcondes looks good and the belief is coming back. This game ain't over.

Should be a good FA Cup tie at St James' Park today, with a sellout crowd of about 52,000 and Steve Bruce promising to play a full-strength side in the hope of a good run in this tournament.

However some of the talk before kick-off is of a reported Saudi Arabian takeover of the Magpies., external

No official word yet on how real that prospect is. It feels like we've been here before with Mike Ashley.

Feel free to watch that Dennis Praet pass again.

Beauty.

Brentford just fell asleep. They have done so well to keep themselves in this game for so long but that chance was just too easy, it really is. Julian Jeanvier was on his heels, not aware that Marc Albrighton was right behind him.

One thing is certain here - St Andrew's is going to be bouncing later.

Coventry and Birmingham agreed to a ticket split of about 50-50 for this tie and a crowd of around 22,000 will be present.

As Birmingham are the 'away' team, the 9,260 Blues fans present are having to sit in different areas of the ground than they would if it was a normal home game.

The Tilton End - where hardcore Blues fans belt out the club anthem 'Keep Right On to the End of the Road' - is home to Coventry fans for the day.

How long before Sky Blues supporters chant 'You're supposed to be at home' at their opponents?

Brentford started the half like deers in headlights but they have definitely had a few chances to equalise.

Leicester could have had a couple more too. All to play for.

Kamohelo Mokotjo's quick feet evades the challenge of Ayoze Perez and it sets up another chance for Emiliano Marcondes, who can definitely hit them from long range!

This one flies inches over and skims the top of the netting.

You can say that's slack defending, trying to play it out from that sort of area when the ball isn't on the ground, but that's three or four chances Leicester have carved out with some really good play. When they want to turn it on, they really can.

Ayoze Perez gets through on goal but Luke Daniels makes a decent save. It rebounds out to the left and hits Kelechi Iheanacho.

Julian Jeanvier doesn't react and Marc Albrighton sneaks up behind him and heads it just over the bar.

Lovely floated ball from Kamohelo Mokotjo into Emiliano Marcondes but he doesn't read the flight of the ball and heads it over.

They have been very tidy, very professional. Hamza Choudhary and Dennis Praet have been very solid in midfield, always in control of the ball.
