all the EPL teams have avoided each other

wonder if Sutton will look to play the tie somewhere else to cash in

I'd be playing at the Emirates, if I was the Sutton owner.

Lincoln didn't get a great draw. A very tough game, but not against a big club.

I'd like to think the significantly improved standard of Conference football is why Lincoln and Sutton are in Round 5 as opposed to higher tier sides doing a dis-service to the competition. Conference football is a lot more watchable these days, even bottom of the table sides try to play on the deck.

Derby and Leicester goalless at half time.
:sleep
Nice combination at the start of the second half. King put Leicester City one up.

Camara scores from a free kick with the help of a nice deflection. ...1-1. The second half is already better than the first.

Ndidi makes it 2-1 in extra time with a great strike.

That win has probably bought Ranieri a bit more time.

Quality player, we were desperate to sign him two or three years ago when he was at Birmingham. Made countless offers but I don't think he wanted to leave the Midlands.

He made the right decision, as he ended up with a Premier League Championship medal!

He should have had at least three yellow cards so far, plus Burnley's Tarkowski has got away with murder since half time.
