Just to give you an idea of the playing conditions at Leicester...

2025-01-11T14:38:27Z

GOAL! Leicester City 2-1 QPR (Mavididi)

Just as I write that, Leicester City go down the other end and score!

Played in by Bilal El Khannouss, Stephy Mavididi makes no mistake from nine yards out to restore the home side's advantage.

2025-01-11T14:34:00Z

It's turning into an end-to-end game in the midlands, with QPR giving as good as they get against the Premier League strugglers.

A series of corners come to nothing, but they are knocking on the door.

2025-01-11T14:21:13Z

GOAL! Leicester City 1-1 QPR (Varane)

Just like that, QPR are level!

2025-01-11T14:14:23Z

Two goals in each half ease Liverpool into the fourth round as they bounce back from their midweek disappointment!

2025-01-11T14:08:45Z

This was the moment Federico Chiesa broke his Liverpool duck....

2025-01-11T14:06:00Z

GOAL! Liverpool 4-0 Accrington Stanley (Chiesa)

He hit the post moments ago but Federico Chiesa finally has his first Liverpool goal. The Italian, who came on at half time, fires low into the bottom corner after cutting inside from the right hand side.

There's still five minutes for Liverpool to add more.

2025-01-11T13:57:24Z

FULL TIME! Bristol City 1-2 Wolves

A goalless second half means that Wolves survive a potential giantkilling to make it into the next round as their form under Vitor Pereira continues to pick up.

2025-01-11T13:55:21Z

Jayden Danns goes close again for Liverpool! Not quite as successful as his goal though...

2025-01-11T13:54:11Z

FULL TIME! Birmingham City 2-1 Lincoln City

GOAL! Liverpool 3-0 Accrington Stanley (Danns)

Game, set, match Liverpool.

2025-01-11T13:49:31Z

GOAL! Birmingham City 2-1 Lincoln City (Makama)

Could there be a late twist at St Andrews?

Christoph Klarer concedes a late penalty and Jovon Makama makes no mistake from the spot to pull one back heading into added time.

The Blues fans will be getting twitchy...

2025-01-11T13:42:26Z

That Lyndon Dykes goal has to be seen to be believed!

2025-01-11T13:39:33Z

CHANCE!

Oh my word how have Accrington Stanley not scored?!

A free header from a corner is blazed over the bar. You feel like they won't get a better chance to score at Anfield today!

2025-01-11T13:37:58Z

GOAL! Birmingham City 2-0 Lincoln City (Dykes)

Finally Birmingham have their second goal and some breathing room, and it is another stunning goal!

Lyndon Dykes chests the ball down, flicks it over one defender, chests it again before unleashing a volley with the outside of his foot that flies into the top corner!

A goal worthy of winning any game!

2025-01-11T13:34:55Z

Concern for Liverpool here after a late challenge leaves Harvey Elliott in a heap on the halfway line.

After some treatment, he is ready to go again though!

2025-01-11T13:32:32Z

After that miss moments before, Weimann smashed this one home to give Rovers a precious lead!

2025-01-11T13:31:37Z

CLOSE!

A well worked corner from Accrington Stanley results in Woods thundering an effort off the crossbar of Caoimhín Kelleher!

The closest anyone has come to scoring for the visitors.

Can they pull one back to make it interesting?

2025-01-11T13:30:10Z

Goal! Middlesbrough 0-1 Blackburn Rovers (Weimann)

It is!

Middlesbrough may have had the first shot on target, but Rovers break the deadlock!

Two minutes after coming close, Andreas Weimann makes no mistake second time around.

This was the earlier chance...

2025-01-11T13:23:17Z

Don't rub your eyes! We've had a shot on target at the Riverside!

Boro's Alex Gilbert is the first player to test either 'keeper in the game, but it is an easy enough stop.

Could that be a sign of things improving?

2025-01-11T13:19:28Z

With Liverpool 2-0 up now, Arne Slot withdraws Dominik Szoboszlai in favour of summer signing Federico Chiesa.

Accrington also make two changes to try and get back into the game.

2025-01-11T13:15:40Z

It's been a bright start to the second half for Bristol City, but they are given a massive let off as Rodrigo Gomes fires an effort off the post for Wolves.

With just one goal in it, can they provide an upset in the next 40 minutes?

2025-01-11T13:10:55Z

Time for you to enjoy that Trent Alexander-Arnold goal!

Could Accrington have done anything to stop that?

Liverpool fans will be hoping Real Madrid weren't tuning in 👀

2025-01-11T13:07:43Z

As the half time whistle blows at Anfield, the other three early games get back underway.

45 minutes until three of those sides book their place in the next round!

2025-01-11T13:03:56Z

GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Accrington Stanley (Alexander Arnold)

Stanley can't hold out until half time!

Having set up the counter attack for the first goal, Trent Alexander-Arnold has just provided a thunderbolt for the second!

The Real Madrid target thumped the ball into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area to give his side some breathing room.

Tie over?

2025-01-11T13:00:06Z

That Scott Twine freekick wouldn't look out of place in the Premier League! What a strike from the Bristol City forward.

2025-01-11T12:57:55Z

Liverpool have been firmly in control since they took the lead, with Accrington just needing to hold on until half time you would think.

The visitors only shot to date came in the 14th minute....

2025-01-11T12:52:06Z

Here's that Liverpool goal, they went from Accrington free-kick to Jota goal in just 16 seconds!

What a pass from Alexander-Arnold to set the move away.

2025-01-11T12:51:16Z

GOAL: Bristol City 1-2 Wolves (Twine)

2025-01-11T12:49:02Z

2025-01-11T12:45:58Z

Birmingham City came this close to doubling their lead against Lincoln....

2025-01-11T12:39:59Z

Liverpool 0-0 Accrington Stanley

It has been a bright start from the visitors, who have pressed the makeshift Liverpool side well, though Darwin Núñez should really have put the hosts ahead
