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:
Brighton 1 - 0 Blackpool - Bissouma
27 mins: GOAL! There it is. An absolute wonder strike from Yves Bissouma. It’s his first home goal from Brighton. He sets himself from 25-yards and blasts the strike into the far top corner. Beautiful.
Swansea 1 - 0 Nottingham Forest
24 mins: Jamal Lowe gets into the action straight away when he receives the ball out on the right. He brings it close to the box and whips in a good cross that gets deflected into the side netting.
Swansea 1 - 0 Nottingham Forest
22 mins: Wayne Routledge has been forced off through injury. He gets replaced with Jamal Lowe for Swansea.
Brighton 0 - 0 Blackpool
23 mins: What was I saying? Blackpool’s Luke Garbutt takes a free kick and curls one towards the top corner. Christian Walton does well to get across and tip it behind. Very close from Blackpool, it’s their best chance so far.
Brighton 0 - 0 Blackpool
21 mins: Adam Webster wins the ball from a corner and heads it strongly over the bar. Brighton are getting closer to scoring, it seems like only a matter of time before they take the lead. Set pieces are causing Blackpool some trouble.
Sheffield United 0 - 0 Plymouth
18 mins: That would’ve done him a world of good as Rhian Brewster comes close to his first goal for Sheffield United. He meets a cross and heads it down, across goal but it goes wide of the goal and Billy Sharp is unable to reach it before it goes out of play.
Brighton 0 - 0 Blackpool
17 mins: Yves Bissouma shifts the ball onto his right foot just outside the box and has a shy at goal but he pulls his shot well wide of the target.
Millwall 0 - 0 Bristol City
15 mins: Bristol City had been controlling the match but Millwall come close to claiming the first goal. Mason Bennett drills a low left-footed strike which is heading for the near post but Max O'Leary makes an excellent save to keep it out.
Barnsley 0 - 0 Norwich
13 mins: Barnsley are dominating this one. They get two quick chances with Woodrow and Palmer. First Woodrow takes a swerving shot that Norwich goalkeeper Krul taps away. Palmer takes up the ball but is denied by Krul as well. Good work from the Norwich keeper.
