The FA Cup remains in full swing with six more games to be played today.

Cardiff welcome fellow Championship side Fulham to the Cardiff City Stadium to kick Sunday's procedures off.

That game is followed by Liverpool vs Plymouth Argyle at 1.30pm. With just one major upset from Saturday's results, with Millwall claiming a surprise 3-0 over Bournemouth, Derek Adams' men have the opportunity to pull off what would arguably be one of the biggest shock wins of the tournament yet.

Chelsea vs Peterborough and Middlesbrough vs Sheffield Wednesday follows at 3.00pm before Tottenham round-up today's action as they take on Aston Villa at 4.00pm.

Liverpool burst forward with Ojo leading the attack, that finds Sturridge on the edge of the box. The substitute pulls the trigger straight away and it goes narrowly wide of the post. 

The experience of Sturridge could prove crucial for Liverpool for the remainder.

Substitution: Garita is replaced by Tanner

Tanner made an instant impact following his introduction, as he weaves through Liverpool shirts in front of goal. He could be the injection of energy that the visitors so desperately need.

Sturridge delivers a teasing diagonol ball into the ball and its a great run by Ojo, but the youngster fails to get on the end of it.

Miller has been receiving treatment on the field for a number of minutes now. He has been stretchered off the pitch. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery. 

Substitution: Miller replaced by Smith
