Coventry v Maidstone LIVE: FA Cup result and final score as non-league side thrashed in fifth round

4 mins: CHANCE! Maidstone survive and Covolan, the hero against Ipswich in the previous round, has to make a big stop early on here!

There’s a mix-up in the Maidstone defence and the ball breaks to Wright in the box.

He takes a swing and catches the volley, but Covolan gets across to make the save!

2 mins: Coventry put Maidstone under some early pressure

Simms is the target of a cross into the middle but he’s not paying attention and the ball hits the back of his head.

KICK-OFF! We’re underway in Coventry. Any chance of another miracle?

Here we go!

Can Maidstone pull off another FA Cup upset and reach the quarter-finals?

It would be an unbelievable result for the Stones...

When is the FA Cup quarter-final draw?

There are three games on Tuesday evening, as reigning champions Manchester City travel to Luton Town, Championship leaders Leicester City visit Bournemouth and Blackburn Rovers host Newcastle United.

The final four ties take place on Wednesday night: Chelsea host old rivals Leeds United only three days after that devastating extra-time defeat by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final; Nottingham Forest host Erik ten Hag’s inconsistent Manchester United; Wolves meet Brighton; and League Cup champions Liverpool dust themselves down to face Southampton at Anfield.

The eight winners will be in the hat for the next round and one step closer to Wembley. Here’s everything you need to know.

George Elokobi ahead of facing Coventry:

“It’s a day with for no pressure for us.

“We are Maidstone United Football Club. There shouldn’t be any pressure on us.

“We will go and enjoy the occasion. It’s a historic day for our football club.”

Plenty of tin foil out on display in the Maidstone end tonight! An FA Cup staple.

Back at the start of January, the FA Cup third round saw the introduction of Video Assistant Referee technology to the competition for the first time this season. But it was only deployed in some ties, and that will remain the case in this week’s fifth round matches.

Eight games will play out across the evenings of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday featuring reigning champions Manchester City down to sixth-tier Maidstone United.

But only games played at Premier League grounds will use VAR, due to licensing rules.

Here’s why:

Great scenes before kick-off as George Elokobi greets the Maidstone fans who have made the journey to Coventry.

Maidstone United will be cheered on tonight by Lionesses star Alessia Russo, who are the Arsenal striker’s local club.

“I am so excited,” Russo said ahead of tonight’s match against Coventry.

“I have had many sessions, tournaments and games at the Gallagher Stadium, and I used to go down there quite a bit with my family to watch some live football.

“They have always been a team that has competed, so it has been nice to follow their FA Cup run – it has been really cool. They have been incredible and making everyone in Maidstone proud.

“I will be following along from Spain - I’m hoping I will be able to stream it and I will get some of the other girls involved too.

“I can’t wait to watch that game and will be backing them all the way.”
