And that's it from the Amex as Brighton bags a big scalp on the night after seeing out their 2-1 win in front of home support.

Thank you for joining us across a full day of FA Cup action!


Four minutes of added time have been announced. Will the Blues find just one chance to rewrite the scoreline before the final whistle?


A double change from both managers:

Brighton: João Pedro & Yasin Ayari 🔄 Georginio Rutter & Carlos Baleba

Chelsea: Noni Madueke & Tyrique George 🔄 Pedro Neto & Jadon Sancho


20 minutes left for Chelsea to claw back a goal here, but Brighton looks to be far more threatening in the final third, having more than double the xG (0.85 vs 0.35) and the only big chances (2) on the night.


GOAL! Brighton 2-1 Chelsea (Mitoma)

Brighton fan favourite Kaoru Mitoma gives the Seagulls the lead in the 57th minute with a lovely chipped finish from 6 yards out despite questions of a handball from away fans


Hürzeler makes a change for Brighton as we get back underway for the second stanza, with Lewis Dunk being replaced by Adam Webster after picking up a knock just before the interval.


It's all settled down here after the opening minutes, with both sides happy to go into the half-time interval level on the scoresheet as few chances separate them.


GOAL! Brighton 1-1 Chelsea (Rutter)

But it has not taken Brighton long to level matters as Georginio Rutter heads home from less than 12 yards out to give Fabian Hürzeler's men the perfect response!


GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Chelsea (Verbruggen own goal)

And that's the first goal on the night for the Blues after a horror moment by Bart Verbruggen has gifted Enzo Maresca's side an early lead!


Premier League giants Chelsea lock horns with Brighton as the final match of this FA Cup round is underway at the Amex.

The Blues reign supreme in the head-to-head table, winning 11, drawing 5, and having only tasted defeat at the hands of the Seagulls on three occasions.

Will that dominant trend continue tonight?


FULL TIME! Birmingham 2-3 Newcastle United

In a thrilling game, Newcastle cap off an excellent week as they reach the fifth round!


Four minutes left and Birmingham are starting to run out of ideas....


What a block!

Jacob Murphy rounds Peacock-Farrell and takes aim, but its cleared off the line!

Into a mammoth 12 minutes of added time.


This was Joe Willock's latest strike....


GREAT SAVE! Birmingham 2-3 Newcastle United

From a corner immediately after, Pope is called into action and is forced to make a strong save with his right foot to keep it out!


GOAL! Birmingham 2-3 Newcastle United (Willock 82')

Birmingham hearts are broken! Newcastle lead again and it's Joe Willock who has grabbed it.

Sean Longstaff's cross is half blocked and falls to Willock, who makes no mistake to smash home his second of the afternoon.


The game is beginning to get fractured as players from both sides go into the book.

Not pretty.


The second half is yet to spark into life thanks to injuries to both sides at St Andrews.

First, Dan Burn is forced off before Marc Leonard needs to be stretchered off.

We'll have plenty of added time!


🚨 TEAM NEWS!

The teams for Chelsea's clash with Brighton are in. Chelsea recall Robert Sanchez, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is handed a rare start and Christopher Nkunku leads the line.

Brighton, meanwhile, are at almost full strength as Carlos Baleba returns from a ban.

Who comes out on top in the last game of the day?


KICK OFF!

We're back underway, with Sandro Tonali replacing Bruno Guimaraes for the visitors.

Can we have a second half anything like the first?


HALF TIME! Birmingham 2-2 Newcastle United

Wow. What a thriller so far. I need a lie down before the second half.


How about this from Iwata!?


GOAL! Birmingham 2-2 Newcastle United (Iwata)

What a half this has been! Birmingham are level again and it's an absolute humdinger from midfielder Tomoki Iwata!

On the run, the midfielder hits it on the volley and finds the top corner with an unbelievable effort.

Goal of the round so far?


CHANCE! Birmingham 1-2 Newcastle United

Jay Stansfield should have made it 2-2! The Birmingham forward has a free header from close range, but puts it wide!


GOAL DISALLOWED! Birmingham 1-2 Newcastle United (Willock)

They thought they had a third but Willock's effort is ruled out after he strayed offside...


And this was the chaos for Newcastle's second goal.....


This was Willocks goal, was it over?


GOAL! Birmingham 1-2 Newcastle United (Wilson 26')

Just like that, the Premier League side are ahead!

It's another scrappy goal but they won't care, as Callum Wilson smashes home to put them into the lead for the first time this evening.

How will Birmingham respond?


GOAL! Birmingham 1-1 Newcastle United (Willock 22')

Moments after that save, Newcastle are level! Joe Willock's effort looks to have been kept out but it has in fact crossed the line!

The Magpies are back on level terms.


Great Save! Birmingham 1-0 Newcastle United

It could be 2-0 Birmingham. From another set-piece, Nick Pope is forced into an excellent diving save to keep his side in the game!


And this was the winner for Preston too...


This was the winning penalty for Cardiff City, finished by the excellent Rubin Colwill.


For the second consecutive round, Newcastle are behind early.

They found a response against Bromley, can they do so again tonight?


GOAL! Birmingham 1-0 Newcastle United (Laird)

An instant impact at St Andrews!

Ethan Laird benefits from a fine set-piece routine to volley home inside a minute!

The hosts are ahead!


Cardiff win on penalties! Stoke 3-3 Cardiff (2-4)

Seko and Rose both miss spot kicks for the hosts, allowing Rubin Colwill to fire home the winning effort!


KICK OFF! Birmingham v Newcastle

While the final 3pm game concludes, they've kicked off in Birmingham in the first of two late kick offs!


Preston win on penalties! Preston 0-0 Wycombe (4-2)

Daniel Udoh and Adam Reach both see their efforts saved for Wycombe, meaning that Ched Evans can step up and seal a spot in the next round of the FA Cup!


Penalty shoot-out! Stoke 3-3 Cardiff

We're going to penalties in Stoke too....


It's still all square between Stoke and Cardiff too. This was the goal that made it 2-2 just after half time...


Penalty shoot-out! Preston 0-0 Wycombe

No separating Preston and Wycombe after 2 hours, so they are heading to penalties in Lancashire.


It's half time in Extra Time, and neither of the games have had a breakthrough since normal time ended.

Penalties, anyone?


FULL TIME! Coventry 1-4 Ipswich Town

The biggest win of the afternoon so far! Despite it being close to begin with, Ipswich thrash Coventry to move into the next round.


FULL TIME! Stoke 3-3 Cardiff

We're going to extra-time in the tie of the afternoon so far. Stoke were 2-0 down, then 3-2 up, and now both sides head into the next 30 minutes level.


FULL TIME! Everton 0-2 Bournemouth

Moyes' magical start at Everton comes to an end in the fourth round as the Toffees fall to a dismal defeat to Bournemouth.

Focus now on Premier League survival.


FULL TIME: Preston 0-0 Wycombe

We'll be going to Extra Time at Deepdale...


FULL TIME! Wigan 1-2 Fulham

That disallowed goal has proved a massive lifeline for Marco Silva's side, who edge into the next round of the competition in a performance that was far from assured.


FULL TIME! Southampton 0-1 Burnley

Marcus Edwards' debut goal books the Championship high-flyers a spot in the fifth round!


What could have been for the Lactics....


We're in the closing stages, and as it stands two games will be going to extra time!


Everton may not have scored, but Bournemouth's goal is leading a very charmed life as it stands...


GOAL! Coventry 1-4 Ipswich Town (Philogene 63')

Ipswich are running away with things now and Jaden Philogene grabs his first goal for the club!

He's played in 1vs1 with the keeper and makes no mistake from a tight angle to extend his new side's lead!


GOAL! Southampton 0-1 Burnley (Edwards 77')

Deadlock broken at St Mary's and it is a debut goal for Marcus Edwards! Signed only last week, the former Sporting man is in the right place to tap home and put his new side on course for the next round.


GOAL! Stoke 3-3 Cardiff (Colwill 68')

Cardiff have hit back! Just when you thought Stoke had the upper hand Rubin Colwill has grabbed his second of the game to tie it up once more.

His low effort from the edge of the area goes through several Stoke defenders to nestle in the bottom left hand corner.


We're still awaiting our first goals in Southampton's clash with Burnley and Wycombe's trip to Preston North End, but otherwise we have seen 14 goals in four games!


GOAL! Stoke 3-2 Cardiff (Baker, pen 58')

They've turned it around completely! Stoke were 2-0 down after 40 minutes but are now 3-2 up thanks to a spot-kick from Lewis Baker!

The former Chelsea man steps up from 12 yards to bury the penalty, and send the home side potty in the process!


Safe to say, Everton are not impressing fans or media watching at Goodison...


GOAL! Wigan 1-2 Fulham (Muniz 55')

Wigan weren't level for long! Within five minutes the visitors are back ahead thanks to Rodrigo Muniz's second of the afternoon.

The ball is flicked over the top and the Brazilian races onto it, before firing past the goalkeeper with his first touch.


GOAL! Wigan 1-1 Fulham (Smith 50')

Wigan are level with their first shot on target, and it's a rocket! A cross from the left reaches Jonny Smith on the right edge of the penalty area, before he cuts back inside before curling the ball into the top corner to make it 1-1!


GOAL! Stoke 2-2 Cardiff (Koumas 46')

Stoke have flown out for the second half and are level inside a minute! It's that man again Lewis Koumas!

The Liverpool loanee shows some neat footwork to create a yard before firing in from a tight angle to bring the game level!


Fulham may be a goal up, but that hasn't stopped their fans demanding change in west London, with some vocal away fans in Wigan...


HT: Half time in five of the six 3pm kick offs. Ipswich, who started 10 minutes late, are still playing.


GOAL! Coventry 1-3 Ipswich Town (Clarke 37')

Ipswich and Jack Clarke strike again! Coventry get caught playing out of defence and Clarke is in acres of space as he bares down on goal before poking the ball beyond the onrushing goalkeeper.

Kieran McKenna's side are on course for a rare win!


GOAL! Everton 0-2 Bournemouth (Jebbison 42')

Everton make their own problems again and Jebbison pounces! The Toffees get caught out trying to play out from the back, and Bournemouth pounce. The ball eventually falls to Jebbison, who has a couple of goes but just about pokes it over the line to double their advantage.


GOAL! Stoke 1-2 Cardiff (Koumas 42')

Just before half time, Stoke have a foothold in the game again! Latching onto a defence-splitting pass, Lewis Koumas drives the ball across goal and into the far corner to halve the deficit.


GOAL! Coventry 1-2 Ipswich Town (Clarke 28')

Ipswich hit the front again just before the half hour mark! Hirst, who fired them ahead initially, turns provider this time as he finds Jack Clarke, who jinks inside before sidefooting the ball low into the corner from the edge of the penalty area.

Upset over?


GOAL! Wigan 0-1 Fulham (Muniz 23)

Goals beginning to fly in now and Rodrigo Muniz has added to that, with Ryan Sessegnon's cross being met by the Fulham number nine, who thumped his header back across goal into the corner.


GOAL! Everton 0-1 Bournemouth (Semenyo 22, pen)

In the only all-Premier League clash high flying Bournemouth have taken the lead at Goodison Park.

After James Tarkowski fouls Semenyo, there are appeals for offside but with no VAR,a penalty is awarded.

Semenyo steps up and smashes his side into the lead.


GOAL! Stoke 0-2 Cardiff (Salech 19')

Cardiff have another and have one foot in the fifth round of the FA Cup already! The visitors have Yousef Salech to thank this time, with the forward finding the right hand corner from just inside the penalty area to increase his side's advantage.


GOAL! Coventry 1-1 Ipswich Town (Latibeaudiere 8')

A flying start at the CBS Arena as Coventry are level inside ten minutes! Latibeaudiere has got it, heading home after a cross from Jack Rudoni to pull his side back to parity with the Premier League side.


GOAL! Coventry 0-1 Ipswich Town (Hirst 2', pen)

They were a little late getting underway in Coventry but Ipswich have shot out of the blocks as George Hirst fires them into the lead from 12 yards after Sammie Szmodics was caught.


GOAL! Stoke 0-1 Cardiff (Colwill 8')

Our first goal of the afternoon's games has come at the Bet365 Stadium, as visitors Cardiff City have taken the lead against Stoke City.

Rubin Colwill finds the corner to hand his side the early advantage.


We're underway in our 3pm games this afternoon, with 12 sides battling out for a spot alongside Millwall and Man City in the fifth round of the competition.


FULL-TIME: Leyton Orient 1-2 Manchester City

Leeds 0-2 Millwall


It is Kevin De Bruyne's competition.


The De Bruyne strike which looks to have secured a comeback win for City.


GOAL! Leyton Orient 1-2 Manchester City: De Bruyne 78'

No sooner had the home support been mocking him on the sidelines than City's super sub has came in to turn the game around.


You can't help but be concerned this might come back to haunt the home fans.


BIG SAVE! Leeds' Strujik has been denied from the penalty spot by a sprawling fingertip stop.


It was far from pretty but they all count. Khusanov's first goal for City to equalise was a touch fortuitous.


The Azeez strike which has doubled Millwall's lead in Leeds.


GOAL! Leyton Orient 1-1 Manchester City: Khusanov 56'

City are level! And it is a first goal for the club from Abdukodir Khusanov as a Rico Lewis strike diverts off the back of his head and into the net.


GOAL! Leeds 0-2 Millwall: Azeez 55'

It is Femi Azeez again and Millwall have doubled their lead at Elland Road!


Manchester City, who lose Nico González to injury on his debut in the first half (after giving the ball away for the Orient goal) have made two half-time substitutions. Khusanov and Stones have replaced Días and Reis.


HALF-TIME

Leyton Orient 1-0 Manchester City

Leeds 0-1 Millwall

Are two early shocks on the cards?


The Femi Azeez strike which has put Millwall into the driving seat in Yorkshire.


GOAL! Leeds 0-1 Millwall: Azeez 30'

Reminder there is another FA Cup game taking place early - and Millwall have taken the lead at Elland Road in an all-Championship affair.


This ballboy is every Orient fan right now.


After all of the excitement around the Orient goal, it does appear it will ultimately be credited as an Ortega own goal, with the ball rebounding off the crossbar and onto the retreating City goalkeeper.


What a moment for the Brisbane Road faithful.


What a moment from the Tottenham loanee to give Orient the lead over City. The second angle is even better viewing.


GOAL! Leyton Orient 1-0 Manchester City: Donley 16'

Shock on the cards!? Incredible scenes at Brisbane Road as debutant Nico Gonzàlez loses possession and Stegan Ortega is lobbed from just inside the City half!


KICK-OFF: We are underway for both Leyton Orient-Manchester City and Leeds-Millwall.


The Orient support are certainly confident about springing a big upset!


The Man City line-up is in for their trip to east London and Pep Guardiola has handed debuts to Vitor Reis and Nico González.


The opening two games of the day see Manchester City travel to Leyton Orient and Leeds United welcome Millwall.


Welcome to our coverage of the fourth round of FA Cup action.

Among the sides in action today are Manchester City, Newcastle and Chelsea.
