    Stoke 1-1 Brighton

    Great feet from Bae Jun-Ho to beat Jakub Moder.

    Stoke build an attack down the right but as it comes into the box there's players unmarked - Sead Haksabanovic and Daniel Johnson - but they all leave it for each other!

    If any of them had taken it on, it would surely have tested goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

  2. Newport lead non-league Eastleighpublished at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Newport have made their man advantage count.

    It comes from a clever corner routine as a low cross finds James Clarke and he sweeps home at the near post.

    Can 10-man Eastleigh find a way back into the game? They are looking to make the fourth round for the first time.

  3. Saints getting sloppypublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Southampton have started the second half very sloppily.

    They've gifted their League Two visitors a couple of real chances.

    The best fell to Jack Earing but, with only the keeper to beat from just inside the box, the midfielder curls wide right in front of the boisterous 2,200+ travelling fans.

    Bournemouth have come flying out the blocks. You can see their intent, straight back to the half-way line and they want to win this game.

    Stoke 1-1 Brighton

    Bae Jun-Ho handballs it then sends it into the stands in frustration which earns him a needless yellow card.

    Gillingham 0-2 Sheff Utd

    No action to report from the second half so far. Sheffield United remain on top.

    Straight off the training ground!

    Alex Scott delivers a corner low towards the near post, Philip Billing flicks it back for Marcus Tavernier whose strike takes a deflection on its way in.

    A dreadful start to the second half for QPR as Bournemouth pull one back.

    Stoke 1-1 Brighton

    André Vidigal replaces Michael Rose for the second half at Stoke and he immediately has an impact, driving to the byline and cutting it back into the six-yard area. Brighton have to scramble it away before Jack Hinshelwood concedes a corner.

    None of today's FA Cup teams are quite experiencing the emotions of Golden Lion today.

    They are losing 11-0 at Lille in the French Cup... after making a trip of over 4,000 miles to the game.

    Golden Lion are based in Martinique in the West Indies. Two Lille players have hat-tricks with 10 minutes to go.

    You always get that sense when Sutton play in the FA Cup that they're up for a challenge.

  11. League Two Sutton equalise at Plymouthpublished at 16:08 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Plymouth 1-1 Sutton

    Sutton United, who are currently bottom of the as it stands League Two table, are level at Championship Plymouth.

    A straight ball from the right-back area sends Lee Angol through. He is kept at bay initially but he cuts back in on his left foot and fires home.

    New Plymouth boss Ian Foster is watching in the stands.

    QPR 2-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth had 10 shots in the first half, but only one of those was on target compared to QPR's five.

    Andoni Iraola has made two changes at the break, with Ryan Christie and Justin Kluivert coming on for Chris Mepham and David Brooks.

    Lewis Cook has dropped into central defence.

    After all their moaning about being drawn against Sunderland, really hope Newcastle have to face Spurs or the winners of Arsenal v Liverpool.

    HT: Southampton 1-0 Walsall

    Tidy little cup tie this.

    Southampton looked like they could score at will as they ran rampant in the opening 20 minutes but were only able to convert one of their chances via Ryan Fraser.

    They've had opportunities since too but it's been much more even with League Two side Walsall coming back into the game and creating openings of their own.

    The underdogs will still fancy their chances of getting a replay here.

  17. Estupinan's on firepublished at 15:57 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    HT: Stoke 1-1 Brighton

    Pervis Estupinan scored an absolute belter against Tottenham last week.

    That wasn't quite in the same class but it was still an excellent effort, striking a bouncing ball cleanly and sending it into the corner.

    The Ecuador full-back has been a major miss for Brighton this season due to injury.

    I suspect there will be a few clubs after him in the summer.

    So, at half-time we've got two shocks on the card.

    The biggest is coming at Vicarage Road where National League Chesterfield lead Championship Watford. It sounds like they have been good value for it too.

    The other is at Loftus Road with QPR beating Bournemouth.

    That seems like it's a brilliant game with both teams going at it. Sammie Szmodics has already been handed the match ball.
