    Good news for Newcastle fans, Joelinton is back up and just waiting permission to come back on.

    Newcastle kick the ball out because Joelinton is injured. The Brazilian is down holding his leg after hurting himself while kicking the ball. The physios are on.

    From Michael Beale's point of view, he'll be happy with the effort his team have put in.

    Almiron did not catch it clean enough, but the confidence has been sapped away from Sunderland.

    Sunderland need to get closer together and hold the ball for longer periods. You have to give your wide players some areas of interest and they have not done that at all.

    It's half-time in all of the 12:30 games and we could have an upset on the cards.

    Maidstone United, the lowest-ranked team left in the FA Cup, lead against Stevenage, who are ranked 69 places higher.

    Elsewhere, Ipswich are 2-1 up against Wimbledon, while Leicester have a 2-0 lead over Millwall.

    A hectic first 17 minutes in Coventry saw four goals go in, with the Sky Blues in control against Oxford United at 3-1.

    Three minutes added on.

    Sunderland 0-1 Newcastle

    Almost close to a tasty second for Newcastle. Acrobatic volley from Miguel Almiron from Bruno Guimaraes' ball into the box bounces just wide of the far post.

    Alexander Isak catches Dan Ballard as he tries to play the ball out from the back and Sunderland have a defensive free-kick.

    Sunderland 0-1 Newcastle

    You can definitely see who the Premier League team are here. Sunderland are struggling to get into this at all. They've defended well though (99% of the time).

    Can we introduce a new rule. If a player rolls more than twice on the ground after being fouled they get a yellow card? No other sport has this silly play acting.

    Maidstone United, the lowest-ranked team left in the competition, have scored!

    A National League South side, Maidstone are 1-0 up against League One's Stevenage.

    They're gifted a soft penalty and Sam Corne calmly slots it past Taye Ashby-Hammond.

    Maidstone are ranked 69 places lower than Stevenage! Can they cling on for a historic victory?

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:24 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Sunderland's Trai Hume trips Anthony Gordon and goes into the book.

    Sunderland have barely seen the ball since the goal. Newcastle are taking control.

    We have to be honest if Dan Ballard does not touch the ball there it would have been tapped in by Alexander Isak.

    A great ball from Joelinton where the keeper cannot come for it - it has been coming.

    Very, very lucky for Newcastle. Sunderland don't deserve that - get back at them!

    Ballard has to go for it. Joelinton puts it into a really dangerous area and Isak is behind him.

    GOAL - Sunderland 0-1 Newcastlepublished at 35 mins

    Dan Ballard own goal

    Newcastle take the lead thanks to an own goal.

    Joelinton whips in a cross from the left. Dan Ballard desperately tries to stop it reaching Alexander Isak behind him and I guess technically he succeeds.

    By smashing the ball past his own keeper.
