The FA Cup remains in full swing with six more games to be played today.

Cardiff welcome fellow Championship side Fulham to the Cardiff City Stadium to kick Sunday's procedures off.

Chelsea vs Peterborough and Middlesbrough vs Sheffield Wednesday follows at 3.00pm before Tottenham round-up today's action as they take on Aston Villa at 4.00pm.

The home side enter the interval chasing a one-goal deficit, due to goals from Johansen and Sessengon to give the visitors the advantage. 

There has been glimpses of brilliance from both sides and despite Fulham's lead - this game is far from over. 

Stay tuned for the second half updates.

Tom Cairney goes for goal from the edge of the area, but it goes straight into the path of Brian Murphy who deflates the danger. The 33-year-old keeper will not be beat by such a mediocre strike.

Fulham are in full control at Cardiff City Stadium, but so far their relentless efforts are going unrewarded this half. They are controlling the tempo of the game, so Cardiff have got some work to do if they want to progress to the fourth round. The pressure is on.
