FA Cup scores LIVE: Man City cruise through, Everton win Lampard’s first game and Chelsea survive scare
Frank Lampard begins life as Everton manager against Brentford, Man City host Fulham and Crystal Palace take on Hartlepool
It promises to be a wonderful weekend of FA Cup football with a number of fascinating fourth round ties.
West Ham broke the hearts of Kidderminster Harriers as they overcame the non-league side 2-1 thanks to last-gasp goals in normal and extra time. Defender Alex Penny put Kidderminster, who are third in the National League North, ahead in the 19th minute in front of a packed crowd at the 6,000-capacity Aggborough Stadium. Substitute Declan Rice spared West Ham a first-ever defeat by non-league opposition by equalising in the 91st minute. The match looked set to be decided on a penalty shootout after a largely uneventful extra period but Jarrod Bowen delivered another cruel twist when he bundled the ball home in the 120th minute to send West Ham into the fifth round.
Meanwhile Chelsea suffered an FA Cup fourth-round scare on Saturday when they had to come from behind and needed extra time and a penalty save to beat League One Plymouth Argyle 2-1 with goals from Spaniards Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso.
And there are several 3pm kick-offs: Crystal Palace vs Hartlepool; Everton vs Brentford; Huddersfield vs Barnsley; Man City vs Fulham; Peterborough vs QPR; Southampton vs Coventry; Stoke vs Wigan; Wolves vs Norwich.

88 mins: Bowen tries to run around Sterling and the two players come together. Bowen goes down looking for a free kick but he doesn’t get one and the ball rolls out for a goal kick.
Kidderminster are on the brink of a fantastic victory...
Kidderminster 1 - 0 West Ham
86 mins: What a save! Luke Simpson you hero! This is lovely play from Benrahma. He dribbles his way into the box and shakes off a couple of defenders. He knocks it to Bowen who returns the pass with Benrahma in space at the near post. He shoots but Simpson sticks out a left hand, stops the shot and then smothers it. Has he just sent his team into the fifth round with that save?
Chelsea 1 - 1 Plymouth
84 mins: Timo Werner is on for Chelsea, he joins Lukaku, Havertz, Mount and Ziyech in the forward line but none of them can find a way past Plymouth goalkeeper Michael Cooper.
He’s having an exceptional day out at Stamford Bridge.
Kidderminster 1 - 0 West Ham
82 mins: Kidderminster win a corner that Sterling fires into the six-yard box. He sends it straight into the middle but Areola manages to punch this one out for a throw in.
Kidderminster take their time with the throw in. They’re almost there. Less than 10 minutes to hold out.
Chelsea 1 - 1 Plymouth
80 mins: Chelsea have 10 minutes to find an equaliser or else the match at Stamford Bridge is heading to extra-time. Azpilicueta meets a curling free kick in the box with a solid header but he’s effort is deflected over the crossbar.
Kidderminster 1 - 0 West Ham
78 mins: Pablo Fornals has replaced Nikola Vlasic for West Ham. All the Hammers’ main men are on the pitch now but they’re not troubling the home side. The Kidderminster fans are going wild. They’re cheering, chanting and loving it.
Benrahma again cuts in from the left before squaring a pass into the box but Cameron is there to block, intercept and clear for the Harriers.
Kidderminster 1 - 0 West Ham
75 mins: Kidderminster have been in front since the 19th minute. Luke Simpson has had very little to do in that time bar keeping a shot from Said Benrahma out.
West Ham look frustrated out there. The ball is rolled across to Declan Rice who belts one from a long way out and hoofs it high and wide.
Chelsea 1 - 1 Plymouth
73 mins: Hakim Ziyech and Cesar Azpilicueta combine again to play the captain into the box. He draws another fine save out of Michael Cooper who turns the ball behind for a corner.
The set piece then drops to Malang Sarr who blasts an effort over the bar from close range.
Kidderminster 1 - 0 West Ham
70 mins: 20 minutes to go at Aggborough, 20 minutes for Kidderminster to hold out for a remarkable victory. Omar Sterling and Amari Morgan-Smith both run into trouble as they carry the ball into the box.
