Follow all the action from the FA Cup’s 3pm kick-offs
Follow all the action from the FA Cup’s fourth round ties this afternoon.
Six fixtures get underway at 3pm, with Championship leaders Norwich City travelling to Barnsley. Brighton are hoping to avoid the same fate as West Brom when they welcome Blackpool to the Amex, with the Seasiders having produced one of the shocks of the third round.
Sheffield United are looking to keep their momentum alive after this competition brought their first win of the season against Bristol Rovers in the previous round. Meanwhile, West Ham are in flying form and won’t want to risk any negative drop when they take on Doncaster. All-Championship ties between Millwall and Bristol City and Nottingham Forest’s trip to Swansea complete the mid-afternoon ties. Follow all the action live below:
Michael Duff also spoke about the importance of an FA Cup especially in these pressing times due to covid. He said:
Phil Foden is now Manchester City's top scorer with nine goals this season. He's netted more goals in 25 appearances this season than he did in 38 games last term (8).
The result didn’t go their way today but Cheltenham Town have certainly gained a few more fans with that performance. They made Man City work incredibly hard to win that game and for a few minutes thought they could pull off the improbable.

90+5 mins: Full time. Fantastic performance from Cheltenham Town who for 20 minutes or so had the lead against six-time FA Cup winners Man City. Tired legs in the final 10 minutes did for the Robins in the end as the Man City substitutes came on to inject more pace and energy into the match. Phil Foden, Gabriel Jesus and Ferran Torres stepped up and brought City the win.

90+4 mins: GOAL! Relief for Man City who cap off a good game with a third goal. Cancelo spots the run of Gundogan to the byline and slots the ball to him. Gundogan cuts it back and Torres finishes well.
