    Chorley are all over Derby. The attitude has been terrific from the National League North side.

    Mark: How does stopping football help to save lives?

    Matthew: Football not in an easy position but would be a massive mental health boost to many if it can continue. With so much bad news recently it’s been a welcome escape. I do however think international games need looking at and maybe curtailing.

    Kyle: It's a load of rubbish people saying football should stop. No it shouldn't in these days of misery we need some respite and some fun and enjoyment. It helps people's mental health and wellbeing. They are fit young men to so highly likely to be ok,

    Luton 1-0 Reading

    Sone Aluko looks to get Reading back level with a neat turn on the edge of the box and a shot that goes just wide. That's the away side's first real effort at goal.

    Norwich 2-0 Coventry

    Coventry have amassed more attempts on goal than Norwich so far and they look dangerous on the counter.

    But Norwich are moving the ball really well and are building comfortably in the visitors' half as we head towards half-time. Can they kill this off before the interval?

    Everton 1-0 Rotherham

    Tosun is in the action again in a rare home attack. He gets ahead of his marker to reach a ball in from the right, but flicks his effort past the far post.

    Everton 1-0 Rotherham

    Everton are very much on the back foot now. Rotherham are really taking the game to the Premier League side.

    Chorley 1-0 Derby

    Oliver Shenton lashes wide for Chorley as the hosts press for a second. Derby have had just 36% possession as they continue to struggle to get to grips with the game.

    Nottingham Forest 1-0 Cardiff

    On-loan Liverpool midfielder Harry Wilson tries his luck from 30 yards for Cardiff. It is well struck but a touch too wide.

    Kenneth Zohore (31 mins)

    It had been coming, but Millwall eventually get their breakthrough after half an hour.

    It's a nicely worked goal that does it, as Scott Malone cuts in from the left and tees up Kenneth Zohore for a simple finish.

    GOAL - Luton 1-0 Readingpublished at 12:32 Greenwich Mean Time 9 January 2021

    George Moncur

    A thoroughly-deserved opener for Luton. They've been the more positive side in this half. It is a lovely finish from George Moncur, who strokes in a shot on the half-volley after being found by James Bree's deep cross from the right.

    Chorley 1-0 Derby

    Pat Nevin
    Former Chelsea and Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I was about to say Chorley look confident but they should be confident. But added to that, they know they are playing against youngsters, so no reason why not to be confident.

    There is a real belief in the Chorley side. They do not look as though they are worried or concerned about this game.

    Chorley 1-0 Derby

    It is a young Derby team today but this is nevertheless an impressive display by Chorley, who are well on top and clearly buoyed by their opener. If they can get a second then they will firmly have one foot in the fourth round. Incredible.

  14. 'Football has to be really careful'published at 12:32 Greenwich Mean Time 9 January 2021

    Danny Cowley
    Former Huddersfield Town and Lincoln City boss on Football Focus

    “It's not the same, football has lost its soul at the moment because the supporters are not here.

    “We are living in unique and difficult times. I think what we have to be really careful of is that we have a duty of care to the players and the staff.

    “A big step in the right direction this week was the PFA getting involved and paying for the testing protocols for players. Hopefully that will provide some sort of safety, particularly for League One and League Two clubs that don’t have the finances to pay for testing.”

    Boreham Wood 0-0 Millwall

    Good save!

    Millwall's best chance of the match falls to Tyler Burey, who connects really well with a volley - but Nathan Ashmore stands tall to prevent his shot flying into the roof of the net.

    Boreham Wood head clear from the resulting corner.

    Luton 0-0 Reading

    Luton and Reading continue to cancel each other out at Kenilworth Road. It is a game of very few chances. And an annoyingly low sun, making watching the action a lot harder than it ideally would be.

    I teach in Chorley and only live 5 miles away yet it's been consistently colder there all week. I leave here with nothing on the ground and arrive there in snow and ice! Hoping it'll prove a leveller today.

    It is suddenly all Rotherham. Matt Crooks meets a corner at the near post but diverts his header just over.
