Four of the five 4th round replays this evening...
Brentford - Barnet
Newport - Boro
QPR - Pompey
Wolfs - Shrewsbury
Newport - Boro at Rodney Parade a potential highlight, and is live on BT Sport, and commentary on Radio 5 Live.
Barnet still last non-league team standing... Will they make it to the 5th round? I hope so, they did brilliantly to hold Brentford 3-3 last go.
League 1 Shrews can knock another Prem side out of the cup with a win against Wolfs.
All kick offs 7:45pm.
There's also two games in League 2, and a handful of FA Trophy games on.

The Barnet chairman is boycotting this evening's game, and other Barnet officials are boycotting the Brentford boardroom.
This is in protest at ticket allocation for Barnet fans by Brentford.
Griffin Park has a capacity of 12,763, and the Barnet chief stated that his club received less than the maximum away allocation under FA Cup guidelines of 15% (1,914).

A prestigious 5th round tie against Man City awaits the winner of Newport - Boro.
Newport have a good home record in the Cup, but the gaffer is under no illusions that the odds are against them in tonight's game...
Channeling Jim Bowen, he said "This could end up like Bullseye - Bully's special prize, look what you could have won."

"Pitch is very wet and muddy at Rodney Parade, Boro might struggle on it"
Lovely, job's a good un 👍

Yeah, puddles forming on the pitch already. Time for Newport to embarrass an embarrassment : Tony Pulis.

Two good goals, especially the second one. |

The Newport keeper's other half was in labour in hospital during last night's game.
Undistracted on the pitch, he kept a clean sheet, and ever the professional, asked the gaffer for permission to leave when the final whistle went.
Their twins were born later last night.
The gaffer has given him a couple of days off, but wants him back between the sticks for their game on Saturday.
