Minute-by-minute report: Join Daniel Gallan for updates from the fifth-round tie at Craven Cottage.

74 mins: Leeds try to play the ball out from a goalkick but Pereira is quickly on to it and wins the ball back inside Leeds’ box. “This is the first time I’ve looked forward to a second half of a Leeds game since the Chelsea game back in August. Brighton are such good fun for the neutral this season, it must be brilliant to be a fan.” He picks up the piefes of a long cross and plays a swift one-two with Mitrovic and he cuts across the goal. He’s picked out by a neat through ball from Rutter (formerly referred to as Georginio) but the shot lacks power to drill past the ‘keeper. Hard to pick which is the better of the two. 76 mins: Leeds finally string a few passes together and it makes its way to Harrison on the left. Leeds might have had a penalty for a high kick inside the box. It all started with a break down the left. He puts in a ball at the near post but Koch can’t keep his effort down. Harrison is having a great spell down the left. 81 mins: That’s a chance for Koch at the near post.

In today's Football Daily: Midweek FA Cup magic, Nigel Pearson and more.

A few years back when I worked for a well known parcel delivery company, I was tasked with a special journey to deliver a parcel to the home of Liverpool’s Lucas Leiva. I tried to use the excuse of it being cold outside to said player but even though he didn’t seem to fall for it he still laughed it off” – Pete Cody. “There is a part of me that realises I’m not the easiest to work with at times … I wasn’t actually aware of the recipient’s name until after I got strangely selected by my boss to carry out this task. I’m a lot more thoughtful than I’ve been in the past and able to look at things in a different way. That’s if Pep’s performance in the pre-match press conference is anything to go by, given he spent most of it going out of his way to patronise Manchester United in the wake of their League Cup glory. The place: Annfield Park, Stirling, for a local derby between the mighty Albion and Stenhousemuir. Similar excitement this time is surely not beyond the realms, given that Bristol City are on a run of 12 matches without defeat, while Manchester City go into the game with one eye on the title race, the other on that elusive Big Cup. The Robins surprisingly have the historical upper hand over the Citizens, 10-9 up in wins, and although they’ve lost all of the last four meetings, a sequence that stretches back to 1980, they gave Pep Guardiola’s side a run for their money in the 2018 Coca-Cola Cup semis. So let’s embrace this new-fangled state of affairs, which you may as well do as it’s surely here to stay now, or at least until the FA Cup is abolished in 2031 by decree of all four members of the new streamlined Premier League (Newcastle Football Concern, Consolidated Mancunian, London Weekend and PSG). The plum tie of the fifth round – in the old-fashioned sense of having potential shock value, as opposed to the modern one of being exactly the same sort of fixture you get week in, week out on Sky – is relegation-haunted Saints versus fourth-tier Grimsby. Let’s be honest, most of the best FA Cup moments in history occurred under lights in the middle of the week anyway.

The "magic" of the FA Cup is alive and well, and upsets are part of the fabric of the competition, but a "Big Six" club has won the competition all but four ...

They've already knocked out Bournemouth from the FA Cup, and they performed admirably against Manchester United in the fourth round of the EFL Cup, defeated 2-0 in a game they out-shot their Premier League opponents 11-10 but struggled to finish chances. And for knockout competition, they don't have to beat Premier League sides over the course of a long season, but instead just a few games where anything can happen. While City this season have not yet shown they can consistently win on days they don't have their best, they are still one of the best sides in the league. It has been 43 years since a team from the lower divisions won the FA Cup, but if there's ever a chance for that to happen, it's now. In the 2023 competition, which has reached the Round of 16, all that could change. In fact, a lower-tier club has not won the FA Cup since West Ham in 1980.

Only nine PL clubs remain, with fourth-tier Grimsby Town the lowest-ranked team left. There are two all-Premier League ties with Fulham hosting Leeds and West ...

Wolves will sit deep and look to pick off Liverpool on the counter just like they did in their big win at Molineux a few weeks ago. Wolves drew at Fulham last time out and Julen Lopetegui’s side are a bit all over the place too. Everton’s issues have been scoring goals and they created some great openings against Villa but just couldn’t finish.

THE FA CUP fifth round is taking place RIGHT NOW!Championship outfit Bristol City are hoping to pull off the shock of the round by beating Premier Lea.

Goal!

Southampton boss Ruben Selles believes securing FA Cup progression at the expense of League Two Grimsby can serve as a springboard towards Premier League ...

And then we want more. “And then of course when you win and do the proper things and have a good performance and get a victory then it's a boost for the next thing to come. “We are going to be there fully ready to go and perform, hopefully to get a result and go through to the next (round).

Manchester City brushed aside their Championship opponents, winning 3-0 thanks to a Phil Foden double and a late strike from Kevin De Bruyne.

Phillips rattled the crossbar with 63 seconds on the clock with a shot from outside the box and although the hosts then settled Manchester City took the lead on seven minutes. The longer the hosts stayed in the game, the more they grew in belief. Guardiola’s opposition scout advised him to expect an awkward evening and the Spaniard finished his homework on the Championship side poring over some clips on the flight south to Bristol on Tuesday. It did not stop Pearson and Guardiola, who were in deep in discussion at full time, chewing the fat over a glass of wine. The sight of De Bruyne and Rico Lewis booting the ball clear amid second-half pressure told part of the story. Scott was one of five academy graduates to start and two more arrived from the bench.

Phil Foden scored twice and Kevin De Bruyne added late gloss as the six-time FA Cup winners ended Bristol City's unbeaten 12-game run before a capacity crowd in ...

But it was all over when De Bruyne played a wonderful through ball to Nathan Ake before Alvarez helped it on to Foden, and the Belgium midfielder ensured he would have the last word from 20 yards. The temperature was rising both on and off the pitch as the contest became more balanced and Bristol City fans urged their players to seize the moment. Riyad Mahrez worked a clever one-two with De Bruyne and the Algerian’s cross to the far post was swept high into the net by Foden, who scored for the second successive game.

Newly crowned EFL Cup champions Manchester United take on West Ham later in the FA Cup 5th round.

United have beaten Everton and Reading to the reach the 5th round. David Moyes could be forgiven for sacrificing this game to prepare fully for the league trip to Brighton this weekend. West Ham are currently in the midst of a relegation battle and sit just two points the bottom three. United beat Newcastle at Wembley on Sunday to lift their first trophy in almost six years and a first for new boss Erik Ten Hag. The Hammers have overcome Brentford and Derby County to reach this stage of the tournament. Manchester United will be hoping to continue their run of cup success with victory over West Ham tonight in the FA Cup fifth round.

Modern football decrees that the league is king but there is something uniquely tingling about a cup run coming over the horizon.

[February 28, 2023] [Georginio Rutter](https://theathletic.com/football/player/georginio-rutter-IHuS65YrmV7QsduK/)’s early tap-in fell foul of a very soft push from Weston McKennie in [Harry Wilson](https://theathletic.com/football/player/harry-wilson-Lpl9IitBvRNhzlIX/)’s back. By the time McKennie’s shot was blocked by [Patrick Bamford](https://theathletic.com/football/player/patrick-bamford-czY2QtojCov58GYm/) in the closing minutes, the rebound flying wide off the American’s shin from a distance of a few yards, it was evident Leeds’ luck was out and, evidently, it was not their night. He had Leeds to lift the FA Cup at 40/1. It might have been that finishing 11th with [Watford](https://theathletic.com/football/team/watford/) in 2019 mattered more to Gracia but the FA Cup, as he said, is where everyone can live a little. It is not a doddle but it is not asking the earth either.

For Gracia, reaching the FA Cup final began with a win at Woking and him trading a bottle of Sangria for a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale with Woking’s manager, Alan Dowson. He was on the fence, Elland Road was electric, Leeds were in the quarter-finals and a cup run took hold without anyone truly seeing it coming. The interest was such that the Yorkshire Evening Post captured photographs of people with no tickets sitting on the roof of a nearby building. They were Division Two play-off finalists and semi-finalists in the FA Cup, a club on a roll.

Premier League sides Brighton, Fulham and Manchester City reached the last eight, while Championship outfit Blackburn Rovers produced an upset away to Leicester ...

That match has already been postponed, and is to be rearranged for a later date, due to the Seagulls' progression in the FA Cup yesterday. It will also be streamed on the Emirates FA Cup's official social media channels. That job is the fifth-round tie against the Hammers, at the Theatre of Dreams, and he will no doubt be eager to see his side progress and be in the hat for the quarter-finals.

Goals from Joao Palhinha and Manor Solomon against Leeds secured a place in the last eight.

“I think we had a good balance, they didn’t create many chances. “We are going to need them. “But the way you approach it doesn’t change. “Work on it, I think, is the only thing we can do and try to do it better next time. They have been really serious as well and I am really pleased for them because they deserve it.” But at the same time we are really serious in the way that we approach the players.

Rovers won 2-1 to reach the last eight for the first time since 2015.

The rebound, though, fell kindly for Praet who should have done better than fire straight at Pears. Amartey’s attempt to play out was reckless and ill-advised as his pass was cut out by the forward, who arrowed towards goal and beat Iversen from the edge of the box. Harvey Barnes found space for the first time and pulled back for Iheanacho to net his now customary FA Cup goal from close range. Not that Rovers were undeserving winners. Blackburn had grown into the game as the Foxes’ threat waned and the haphazard nature of the hosts’ defending was a serious cause for concern. Tyrhys Dolan and Sammie Szmodics cashed in on awful defending to clinch a 2-1 win and send Rovers into the last eight for the first time since 2015.

Brighton had been dominating possession and they would make the breakthrough as Kaoru Mitoma ran on to Dunk's excellent through-ball and laid a delightful pass of his own to Ferguson, who tapped in. Foden applied the finish to Riyad Mahrez’s cross as Pep Guardiola’s side took the lead only seven minutes in but had to wait to add to their lead as the hosts battled hard and created opportunities of their own. The Republic of Ireland international, 18, finished a fine move on the half-hour mark for the Seagulls.
