FA Cup fourth round: Southampton v Tottenham and more – live! | Football

FA Cup: Portsmouth have doubled their lead against Barnsley, from the division above them, at Fratton Park. John Marquis bagged their second in added time at the end of the first half.

Disappointing news from Reading: Presumably at the behest of the referee, an announcement has been made over the PA system at the Madejski Stadium, apparently warning Cardiff City fans to stop engaging in racist behaviour.

FA Cup: Andy Cannon tees up Ben Close, who scores into the bottom corner to give Pompey the lead at Fratton Park with 37 minutes on the clock.

Scottish Premiership: Callum McGregor has fired past Nathan Baxter from the penalty spot to give Celtic a first half lead against Ross County with the only goal of the game so far.

Tumbleweed … Still just the three goals in the FA Cup fourth round three o’clockers, where it’s 11 between Reading and Cardiff City, while West Brom lead West Ham 1-0 at the London Stadium.

Newcastle 0-0 Oxford United: Newcastle have had two appeals for penalties turned down, one for a handball and another for a challenge on Joelinton by Josh Ruffels.

Championship: There’s only one game being played in the second tier today and it’s currently scoreless at the Bet365 Stadium in the match between Stoke City and Swansea City.

FA Cup: Despite making eight changes to their opponents’ four, Championship side West Brom lead West Ham courtesy of Conor Townsend’s first goal for the club. It was a nice way for him to open his account, firing into the top corner from outside the penalty area.

FA Cup: Callum Paterson has given Cardiff City an early lead at the Madejski Stadium, putting the visitors ahead after five minutes.

Southampton v Tottenham: Christian Eriksen has been left out Tottenham’s squad, despite travelling with the team. Reports in Italy suggest a deal had been agreed to sell him to Inter for a fee of around £15m.

Harry Winks has recovered from an ankle injury and starts, while Gedson Fernandes makes his full debut. Troy Parrott is not in Tottenham’s match-day squad. Southampton recall in-form striker Danny Ings after he was rested in midweek against Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile in Scotland: Jermain Defoe has agreed to join Rangers on a permanent deal in the summer. The 37-year-old striker, who has been on loan from Bournemouth this season, has signed a pre-contract agreement with the Ibrox club for the 2020/21 campaign.

Brentford v Leicester: They’re trailing by a goal, but Brentford have Leicester under the cosh at Griffin Park, where they’ve just hit the woodwork in their search for an equaliser. Scott Murray has the latest …

Good news for Rep of Ireland fans: Jose Mourinho has suggested that Tottenham’s 17-year-old Irish striker Troy Parrott could get a run-out in Tottenham’s games against Southampton. “He is ready to work with us every day like he is doing,” said Mourinho, of a player who has been restricted to just two appearances this season.

“He trains with the group, after training he has a special programme of individual development of his qualities as a striker and this club takes very good care of the players. That is the only thing I can say. If he has to play with us, he will. He will do his best, he will show his good qualities, he will show his fragilities because at this moment he is a 17-year-old kid with fragilities in his game. But in this moment I cannot tell you, it is possible he is selected for this game.”

Brentford v Leicester City: Brendan Rodgers brought Leicester City to play in what could be the last ever FA Cup tie played in Griffin Park in today’s early kick-off. Both he and his opposite Thomas Frank made nine changes each ahead of this game, suggesting their priorities lie elsewhere.

Brentford are due to move in to their well appointed and imaginatively titled 17,800 capacity New Stadium in the summer. It’s Premier League ready, but it remains to be seen whether the Bees, currently fifth in the Championship, will be playing top flight football in their first season at their new home.

It’s half-time at Griffin Park, where Brentford trail by a Kelechi Iheanacho goal scored in the third minute. Despite the early setback, Brentford have played their way into the game and are giving their Premier League opponents a run for their money.

Coventry City v Birmingham City: Coventry are thriving under Mark Robins and St Andrew’s is sold out for today’s derby but the future is still worrying for fans, writes Ben Fisher.

Liverpool news: The Premier League leaders travel to New Meadow tomorrow to play Shrewsbury Town and Jurgen Klopp has hinted he may use the FA Cup tie against the League One side to give Fabinho, Dejan Lovren and Joël Matip their first starts of the year. Read on …

A total of eight of the fourth round’s 16 ties kick off at 3pm, with no shortage of interesting matches for us to keep across. Flying high in League One, despite being homeless and operating on a shoestring budget, Coventry City play host to their landlords, Birmingham City, in one of the more intriguing games of the round.

At Turf Moor, Burnley entertain Norwich in one of two all Premier League affairs being played this afternoon, while Southampton host Tottenham Hotspur in the other.

Seventh in League One, Portsmouth are the lowest placed side in action today and are sure to attract the usual full house to Fratton Park for their match against Barnsley, from the Championship but just nine places above their hosts in the league ladder.

We’ll bring you team news and build-up ahead of kick-off, followed by reports on all the goals and other talking points as the action unfolds around the grounds. Don’t touch that dial.
