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:

Cheltenham 1 - 2 Man City

87 mins: That should be enough for Man City. Alfie May gives away a free kick deep in City’s half. The Robins have given it a good go but they look tired. Can they put together one last attack?

Cheltenham 1 - 2 Man City - Jesus

84 mins: GOAL! Heartbreaking. Fernandinho flicks the ball over the top. Raglan looks to be playing Jesus onside and if VAR were here the lines would be being drawn. It isn’t though and the offside flag stays down. Jesus brings the ball down with a beautiful touch, turns towards goal and smashes it home.

Cheltenham 1 - 1 Man City - Foden

81 mins: GOAL! Cancelo whips a good cross in from right hand side. Foden times his run into the box perfectly as Long is playing him onside. He meets the cross and taps it past Griffiths to put City back on level terms.

Cheltenham 1 - 0 Man City

78 mins: Joao Cancelo comes on for City replacing Benjamin Mendy. Time is running out for Pep’s side to get back into this. A wild cross from the right wing is kept in by Torres. He passes to Laporte whose ball into the box is booted clear.

Cheltenham 1 - 0 Man City

75 mins: Fernandinho tries to play Jesus in behind with an aerial ball over the top. Raglan gets his head to the ball and flicks it out for a corner. Mahrez whips in the corner ball but it’s belted forward by Lewis Freestone. Into the last 15 minutes for Cheltenham to hold on.

Cheltenham 1 - 0 Man City

72 mins: Denied! Phil Foden slots a through ball into the box for Riyad Mahrez who is one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Josh Griffiths is smart and he charges at Mahrez who then goes for power over placement and strikes it straight at the goalkeeper who makes the save.

Cheltenham 1 - 0 Man City

67 mins: An enterprising run from Phil Foden on the right side almost ends in glory as he brings the ball into the box and fires away a shot but it gets blocked and the Robins can clear away the ball. 

Dias and Gundogan replace Harwood-Bellis and Doyle for Man City.
