The action just keeps on coming at Hillsborough!

Cardiff earn a second penalty but Cameron Dawson saves it again. That means he's saved two penalties in the opening seven minutes.

Cardiff changed their taker to Callum Robinson but it is a poor penalty and Dawson is able to get down and keep it out.

Moises Caicedo switches play with a lovely diagonal pass. Raheem Sterling then gets the better of Ali McCann and goes down under contact.

It's right on the edge of the box so Chelsea's players are appealing. The referee waves play on but Preston are perhaps a bit fortunate.

It looked just outside so should have been a free-kick if anything.

Since returning to the Premier League in 2019, Aston Villa have gone out of the FA Cup at the third round stage in all four seasons. They'll be determined to end that run today but so far it has been a pretty cautious approach to the game by the visitors.

It is all happening at Hillsborough early on!

Josh Windass gave Sheffield Wednesday the lead with a superb low strike from 22 yards.

Down the other end and Cardiff get a penalty but Cameron Dawson keeps out Ryan Wintle's spot kick.

Aston Villa are playing with a high line and for a second it looks to have been caught out as Josh Coburn races through, but ultimately it has done its job as the flag goes up for offside.

You do get a different vibe with this competition. Preston are in poor league form, but coming into this match, the pressure is off.

Middlesbrough look to have gone with three at the back. Aston Villa do like to go down the flanks, Michael Carrick might have to tweak it a little bit.

Not much to report so far from this game. Aston Villa are seeing plenty of the ball but haven't really got anywhere near the Middlesbrough box yet.

Two goals apiece from William Osula and James McAtee saw Sheffield United thrash League Two Gillingham and book their place in the fourth round.

Have a watch of the highlights.

Preston have got plenty of fans in Stamford Bridge making some noise.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, speaking to BBC: "Luckily for us it finished well but we suffered, especially in the first half. We didn’t play with the required intensity and we had no better choice to play much better in the second half with more urgency and attacking more direct. Luckily I think we did really well.

"We wanted to move the ball, we were moving it quite slowly. We had some chances but the difference between divisions sometimes is difficult."

On his message at half-time: "We just needed to attack faster, be more vertical and use the space, make them run backwards. We were on the ball and they were quite comfortable, we needed some change of speed and I think players did really well. We had the chances, we had the goals and we deserved the win."

On confidence levels: "It is good because in these tough situations, even at half-time, we all believed we could score two, three goals and have the chance of a play-off or score all three and win in the end. It’s good. We know we have to play at our best if we are the team we want to be.

"We are going to try in the cup competitions. We have difficult moment like this that you pass and it depends a lot on the draw but you have to get the chances. It’s an opportunity, you have to try every year. In the Carabao Cup we didn't win against Liverpool, but we played really well and they won in the end. We are going to try and do the same and have a chance."

On having a two week break: "They are needed because we have had a crazy schedule in December, a lot of games. Players deserve, mentally physically, some days off before they reset again because we have difficult games, we have Liverpool, the next round of the cup. We have to prepare."

We're getting under way in the four late FA Cup ties now.

Non-league Chesterfield took the lead against Championship Watford and were set for a replay.

A stoppage-time winner from Tom Dele-Bashiru secured the Hornets' place in the fourth round though.

Preston are going to have to defend really well, play well and take what little chances they're going to get.

There were chants of "we want Wagner out" from the Norwich fans during their 1-1 draw with League One Bristol Rovers.

Look out for Rovers' equaliser from Grant Ward in this highlights package - it is a superb strike!

Aston Villa might be sitting second in the Premier League table, but you always want to go for a cup run.

Ask anybody, the successful teams, that is what they will want to do. It was a great result against Burnley when it looked like it wasn't going to happen but they have had nice gaps in between games which means they can get some rest in the legs. They will still make a few changes most likely, but they will understand when you go to Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, you know what it will be like and you have to go strong.

To be sat where they are at right now is just unbelievable going into the new year. It is going to be tough, but if they can stay anywhere near fourth and fifth in the league it has been a really successful season.

With the points return they have got, would they take top five? I'm sure they would, but if they could reach the Champions League that would be an incredible story.

Villa have got a good squad and they've been able to cope with everything quite well. If there is one little bit of sprinkle they need somewhere then Unai Emery would consider going into the transfer market, but I think it's good right now. They have a cover in every position, but they have had a really long run of games and a fresh face is always helpful.

Emery's side have shown so much character in different ways and when you look at what is coming forward, they have got a great run of fixtures.

There's a light show and fire cannons at Stamford Bridge.

Pulling out all the stops for Preston North End.

Blackburn fell behind twice against League One Cambridge at Ewood Park, but Championship top scorer Sammie Szmodics was a key figure in the turnaround.

The Championship top scorer scored a first-half hat-trick as Jon Dahl Tomasson's side secured their place in the fourth round.
