Good morning and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's FA Cup action.
We have three games for you this afternoon with Brighton and Derby kicking things off with Wimbledon, Millwall, Newport County and Premier League champions Manchester City all in action.
We'll have all of it for you right here so get your feet up, open up a browser tab and settle in for nine hours of the greatest cup competition in the world.
Could we see the first mini-shock of the FA Cup fifth round in today's early fixture? Frank Lampard's Derby - challenging for promotion in the Championship - have already knocked Premier League Southampton out of the competition. And it wouldn't be hugely surprising if they were to do the same to Brighton.
Chris Hughton's side are on a poor run of form in the league and will be wary of underestimating today's visitors. The winner will take their place in the last eight of the FA Cup.
Changes
Brighton have made eight changes to the team that fell to a 3-1 defeat against Burnley last weekend. Top scorer Glenn Murray is not even in the squad.
Derby make three changes: David Nugent, Tom Huddlestone and Craig Bryson come in. Ashley Cole, meanwhile, is on the bench.
Frank Lampard might feel he has an advantage in the FA Cup. As a player, he won it four times with Chelsea. That experience could serve his side well as they attempt to reach the latter stages of the competition. With several of the top Premier Clubs already knocked out, this is a real opportunity for Derby.
Chris Hughton has been speaking to the media ahead of kick off:
Some of the bigger sides have gone out, but for us it's always about taking it one round at a time. It's a great opportunity for somebody - we're part of that group of teams.
We're the favourites this weekend and we understand that. We'd always rather be playing at home against a side outside the top flight - but they're in really good form at the moment.
The teams are out at the Amex. Kick off is just a couple of minutes away now!
After an immaculate minute of applause to pay respect to Gordon Banks, Brighton get us underway.
