    Everton 1-0 Rotherham

    Very little offered by Rotherham at Goodison so far. This is largely because the Premier League side have not given them a sniff.

    Boreham Wood 0-0 Millwall

    Millwall are asking questions of the Boreham Wood defence, but Troy Parrott's early attempt from outside the box failed to find the target

    The non-league side are holding firm so far.

    Nottingham Forest 1-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff have offered very little attacking threat but are not far off with their first real chance as Leandro Bacuna bends a shot just over the bar from the edge of the area.

    Luton 0-0 Reading

    Oh, that's a chance! James Bree's cross from the right is met on the volley by Ryan Tunnicliffe (well, with his thigh really) but blazed past the far post.

    Luton 0-0 Reading

    It remains one-way traffic at Luton, with the home side very much on the front foot. Reading have so far held firm, though.

    Nottingham Forest 1-0 Cardiff

    Ten minutes in and we've had just one shot on target but that shot produced the game's opener, scored by Lyle Taylor. The Nottingham Forest forward chases a ball into the box but this time is beaten to it by Dillon Phillips in the Cardiff goal.

    It's two!

    An excellent ball from the left by Przemyslaw Placheta finds Jordan Hugill, to make it two goals in one minute 20 seconds for the hosts.

    Coventry's bright start has come to a very abrupt end.

    Cenk Tosun

    There you go. Right on cue. This is a lovely little finish from Cenk Tosun, who latches on to Gordon's neat through-ball and then dinks a finish over the keeper and in. It is his first goal since November 2019. Timely.

    Luton 0-0 Reading

    Luton on the front foot at Kenilworth Road. Ryan Tunnicliffe is in the thick of it, pulling strings on the edge of the Reading box. They've not really tested Luke Southwood yet.

    Kenny McLean (6 mins)

    Norwich had made quite a slow start, but it's the Canaries who lead!

    A great pass by Todd Cantwell allows Kenny McLean to slot in the opener.

    Everton 0-0 Rotherham

    Be interesting to see how Cenk Tosun gets on for the Toffees today. He's barely had a sniff with Dominic Calvert-Lewin very much first-choice. The Turkish striker is one of those names that hits the gossip column regularly around this time of year, usually linked with a Premier League struggler. Actually, has he been touted for West Brom yet?

    Everton 0-0 Rotherham

    First chance at Goodison goes to the home side. It is created entirely by Anthony Gordon, who turns his marker on the left touchline and then charges past a couple of players and into the Rotherham box. With plenty of men around him, though, he fluffs his shot and visiting keeper Jamal Blackman can gather.

    Norwich 0-0 Coventry

    A chance in the opening minutes for Coventry sees Maxime Biamou break clear of the Norwich City defence, but he drags his low shot just wide of the far post.

    The visitors have made a lively start in this one!

  20. Fulham and Leicester to edge through?published at 11:56 Greenwich Mean Time 9 January 2021

    Mark Lawrenson
    BBC football expert

    Rotherham are struggling at the bottom of the Championship and cannot win away, so I don't give them much of a chance at Everton, who have already been forced to give one or two of their squad players a run-out because of injuries.

    It will be a lot closer in the west London derby between QPR and Fulham,and also when Stoke host Leicester- the Potters are very good at keeping games tight.

    Manchester United are yet to make their first final under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but they will definitely take the FA Cup seriously and should have too much for Watford. The United squad is strong enough for Solskjaer to rotate his team, if he wants to, and still progress.

    Predictions: Everton 2-0 Rotherham; Fulham and Leicester to win on penalties; Man Utd 2-1 Watford
