Good morning and welcome to the Independent's coverage of third round of the FA Cup. We'll be bringing you live updates and goals from all of today's games so make sure to stay tuned.
Up first: Cardiff vs Fulham!
Here is how the two sides will line-up at Cardiff City Stadium today for the 11:30 kick-off:
This is Cardiff's fifth consecutive FA Cup tie to be drawn on home turf, but they have lost three of the last four. Neil Warnock's men will be hoping to mend this curse today and progress to the fourth round.
Stay tuned for updates of all of the goals.
8 MINS
GOAL
CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 FULHAM
Anthony Pilkington opens the scoring with a free-kick that takes a huge deflection, leaving Bettinelli helpless as the ball flies into the bottom left corner.
It's a tremendous start for Neil Warnock's men.
11 MINS
Stefan Johansen attempts to redeem the deficit for Fulham, but his attempt to bury the strike in the far corner from a tight angle is wasted. It's high and wide.
14 MINS
GOAL
CARDIFF CITY 1 - 1 FULHAM
Fulham's equaliser comes shortly after the opener, with Johansen firing home a powerful strike assisted by Ryan Frederick's moment of magic to beat the defender. The birthday boy has found himself on the score-sheet.
It's all level - game on!
18 MINS
Cardiff's Sol Bamba denies Lucas Piazon's inital strike, then parries away Sone Aluko's follow-up. Fantastic goalkeeping from the Ivorian.
23 MINS
Piazon fails to convert in front of goal, following a deflected cross into the box from Fredericks.
30 MINS
Cardiff City stadium is nearly empty today - the attendance is incredibly disappointing. Nonetheless, the tempo is high and both sides continue to chase a goal before the interval.
33 MINS
GOAL
CARDIFF CITY 1 - 2 FULHAM
Sessengon has put the visitors ahead and he is not going to score an easier goal than that.
Johansen's strike reflects off the crossbar and falls perfectly into the path of Sessengon, who simply has to poke the goal into an open net. The phrase 'right place, right time' springs to mind for this one.
Slavisa Jokanovic's men have gained the advantage and they will be hoping to carry this lead into the interval.
