Result: Crystal Palace 0-3 Manchester City

FA Cup: Real Madrid’s short-sightedness in failing to appoint Sam Allardyce several years ago meant he never came up against Nou Camp-era Pep Guardiola and this result suggests it’s probably just as well.

Result: Chelsea 4-0 Brentford

FA Cup: Brentford’s fans were buzzing as they made their way into Stamford Bridge. They’re not now, unfortunately - they’ve been spanked by the Premier League leaders.

Result: Tottenham 4-3 Wycombe Wanderers

FA Cup: Joe Jacobson has chested the ball into his own net deep in injury time to break his own and thousands of other Wycombe hearts. Ouch. That is heartbreaking for Wycombe, who led 2-0 and 3-2 before going down at the death in the cruellest way imaginable.

Wycombe Wanderers’ Joe Jacobson attempts to block a shot by Spurs’ Tottenham’s Son Heung-min but only succeeds in deflecting the ball into his own net. Heartbreaking.

Spurs equalise once again ...

FA Cup: Dele Alli races on to a header from Moussa Dembele and fires past Jamal Blackman to restore parity at White Hart Lane. A poor clearance from Blackman led to that goal - but if Wycombe can hold on they’ll be delighted with this result. A replay at Adams Park would offer a welcome injection to their coffers.

GOAL! Lincoln City 1-1 Brighton

Lincoln have a penalty against Brighton ...

FA Cup: Lincoln have a chance to equalise against Brighton at Sincil Bank after some pulling and dragging in the Brighton penalty area. Brighton goalkeeper Niki Maeenpaeae is receiving treatment for an injury at the moment, so there’ll be a delay before the penalty is taken.

QPR go further behind ...

Championship: Burton Albion have doubled their lead against QPR at Loftus Road through Lloyd Dyer. They lead 2-0.

GOAL! Oxford 1-0 Newcastle

FA Cup: Showing their usual contempt for the FA Cup, Newcastle United made nine changes today and are paying the price. They trail League One side Oxford United, who have gone ahead through Kane Hemmings in the 46th minute. Newcastle are one of several Championship teams to teams to field understrength teams today, presumably on the grounds that they have bigger fish to fry in the league. Wolves were another to make more than five changes and they beat Liverpool at Anfield.

Coventry fans are getting fed up ...

League One: With Coventry City sliding towards the fourth tier for the first times since the mid-1950s, their fans are understandably mad as hell and aren’t going to take it any more. Play has been interrupted twice due to pitch invasions from disgruntled travelling Coventry fans, while a couple of flares are reported to have been thrown on the pitch. They’re currently holding Northampton at Sixfields where there’s no score, but are down to 10 men following the dismissal of Jordan Willis after 19minutes.

In the lower divisions ...

Brighton go ahead against Lincoln City

FA Cup: Richie Towell runs on to a Glenn Murray knock-down to blast Brighton into a one-goal lead against Lincoln City from 15 yards out. The concensus seems to be that Lincoln have been the better team thus far, but they find themselves behind.

Simon McMahon writes from Scotland's sharp end ...

“Afternoon Barry,” he says. “League action only up here today. In Dunfermline with a large travelling support for Scotland’s game of the day at East End Park where Dundee United are the visitors. United have had a poor January, conceding six at Ross County in the Scottish Cup last week, and picking up a solitary league point from a possible six so far.

“They remain second, however, and have a good record against the Pars, so will be hopeful of picking up all three points today. Elsewhere it’s Queen of the South v Hibs, Raith v Dumbarton and St. Mirren v Falkirk. In the Scottish Premiership Aberdeen beat struggling Dundee 3-0 last night, and today it’s Inverness v Partick, Kilmarnock v Ross County and St. Johnstone v Hamilton, whilst Rangers lead Motherwell 2-0 in the early kick off. In Scottish League One leaders Livingston host fourth placed Brechin and in Scottish League Two it’s top v bottom as leaders Forfar welcome Cowdenbeath, aka Cowdenbeath 0.”

Chelsea double their lead ...

FA Cup: Pedro takes advantage of more good work from Willian to fire a shot underneath Daniel Bentley to make it 2-0 to Chelsea.

Norwich score against Birmingham City

Championship: Birmingham City manager Gianfranco Zola can’t buy a break - having failed to secure a win in his first eight matches since being appointed, he sees his team go behind against Norwich City. Attacking on the break, Norwich got the ball to Cameron Jerome, who cut inside and fired past Ryan Shotton.

A goal at Stamford Bridge

FA Cup: Chelsea lead Brentford at Stamford Brdige courtesy of a wonderful free-kick that Willian curled around the defensive wall and past Daniel Bentley.

GOAL! Blackburn lead Blackpool

FA Cup: Blackburn Rovers have broken the deadlock against Blackpool early doors at Ewood Park. Sam Gallagher has got on the end of a Jason Lowe cross to head home his 10th goal of the season. Quite how many people were in the stands to see that goal remains to be seen - both sets of fans were planning on boycotting that game.

An early scare for Lincoln City ...

A few early goals ...

In Scotland, Kris Boyd has ut Kilmarnock one up against Ross County. League Two side Stevenage have taken the lead against Grimsby thanks to Steven Schumacher.

The most interesting match-up of the day ...

On BT Sport’s Saturday afternoon live update show, Robbie Savage and Chris Sutton are in the studio monitoring assorted matches. The tension between them is crackling - there does not appear to be much love lost between them. Here’s hoping we get a brawl live on television.

Whistles are peeping ...

League and FA Cup games are kicking off around the length and breadth of the country, with many Premier League and Championship sides fielding below strength teams in their cup matches. Chelsea make nine changes, as do Spurs. Burnley make eight changes and there are plenty of reserves in the Brighton side facing Lincoln City too. How will they fare? We’ll soon find out.

Some pre-match reading ...

I wrote this article about Donald Trump and some of his sporting connections yesterday and it attracted an array of comments from the mildly praiseworthy to the downright abusive ... much of which - unfortunately - I didn’t get to see as it was expunged by our always busy moderation team. “Stick to the effing football,” is as personal favourite of the comments that remain, not least because the subject of football is addressed throughout the column. Anyway, whatever you make of the prose, David Lyttleton’s illustration makes it worth the price of admission alone. That price being nothing, unless yuou sign up as one of our members and enjoy all the perks that entails!!

Today's other action ...

The FA Cup isn’t the only show in town this afternoon. There’s plenty of Championship, League One and League Two action to keep us entertained as well. They’re also braving the elements up in Scotland.

Championship

Norwich City v Birmingham City, Preston North End v Ipswich, QPR v Burton Albion, Reading v Cardiff City, Rotherham United v Barnsley.

League One

Bristol Rovers1-0 Swindon Town (half-time latest), Bolton Wanderers v Charlton Athletic, Bury v Walsall, Fleetwood Town v Southend, Gillingham v Shrewsbury Town, Northampton Town v Coventry City, Oldham Athletic v Bradford City, Peterborough United v MK Dons, Scunthorpe United v Port Vale.

League Two

Carlisle United v Barnet, Crewe v Cheltenham Town, Luton Town v Cambridge United, Mansfield Town v Leyton Orient, Newport County v Hartlepool United, Notts County v Crawley Town, Portsmouth v Exeter City, Stevenage v Grimsby Town, Yeovil v Doncaster Rovers.

And in the Scottish Fitba Premiership

Motherwell 0-0 Rangers (after 51 mins). Inverness v Partick Thistle, Kilmarnock v Ross County, St Johnstone v Hamilton.

Meanwhile at Anfield ...

Liverpool’s woes continue. They’re playing Wolves in today’s early kick-off and currently trail 2-0 against a Championship side who have had their measure throughout this first half. Follow the second 45 minutes with Simon Burnton’s minute-by-minute report.

Good day, sports fans ...

You join us for an afternoon of FA Cup fourth action, featuring nine different matches kicking of at 3pm GMT (other time zones are available). Premier League leaders Chelsea are the highest placed team left in the competition and take on Championship opposition in Brentford, while National League table-toppers Lincoln City are the lowest ranked side to line up this afternoon and will entertain Championship leaders Brighton in one of the day’s more interesting matches at Sincil Bank.

Championship side Blackburn entertain League Two outfit Blackpool in another intriguing tie that may will be more intriguing for what takes place off the pitch than on it. Both sides were in the Premier League as recently as 2011 but have endured a wretched time of it in recent years under the stewardship of the Venky and Oysten families respectively. A boycott of the match has been planned by both sets of fans, who have announced their intention to turn up at the ground but not trouble the turnstile attendants. History suggests those who run both clubs won’t actually care, but it will fascinating to see how the afternoon’s events pan out. If you’re shivering in the Ewood Park car-park, drop us a line and let us know.

Other potential shocks? Oxford United, second in League One, entertain Newcastle United from the Championship at the Kassam Stadium, while Rochdale (fifth in League One) take on Huddersfield (fifth in the Championship) at the Spotland Stadium. Fifth in League Two, Wycombe Wanderers will have it all to do against Tottenham Hoptspur at White Hart Lane.
