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:
Half time scores
Barnsley 0 - 0 Norwich
Brighton 1 - 1 Blackpool
Millwall 0 - 1 Bristol City
Sheffield United 1 - 0 Plymouth
Swansea 2 - 0 Nottingham Forest
West Ham 2 - 0 Doncaster
Brighton 1 - 1 Blackpool - Madine
45+2 mins: GOAL! Gary Madine equals for the visitors. He makes a run in front of his marker to meet a cross and guide the ball past Walton in goal.
Barnsley 0 - 0 Norwich
Half time. The only FA Cup match to go into the break without a goal.
Swansea 2 - 0 Nottingham Forest
44 mins: Ryan Manning crosses on in from the left but Connor Roberts can't direct his header towards goal.
Sheffield United 1 - 0 Plymouth - Basham
39 mins: GOAL! The Blades are in front! Chris Basham scores his first goal in two years for Sheffield United. Billy Sharp takes over the ball inside the area and floats a lovely cross to Basham who arrives onto it and buries home his header.
Brighton 1 - 0 Blackpool
39 mins: Tau turns with the ball and curls one over the top corner, but the flag goes up for offside so wouldn't have counted anyway.
Sheffield United 0 - 0 Plymouth
37 mins: Sheffield United should have had a penalty. I’m not sure which defender it was but he raises his hands over his head and blocks a goalbound shot. VAR took a look at it as well but no luck for the Blades.
Millwall 0 - 1 Bristol City - Diedhiou
32 mins: GOAL! Famara Diedhiou converts a penalty for Bristol City who take the lead against Millwall. Cool finish from him.
West Ham 2 - 0 Doncaster - Yarmolenko
32 mins: GOAL! Andriy Yarmolenko doubles West Ham’s lead. It’s his first goal for the Hammers since September and any fears of an upset seem to have been put to rest at the London Stadium.
Swansea 2 - 0 Nottingham Forest - Grimes
29 mins: GOAL! Matt Grimes doubles Swansea’s lead. They’ve been dominant in this half. A corner comes to Grimes who takes a left-footed shot from about 25-yards out. The ball flies through the players in the box and sneaks in at the near post.
