Good afternoon! The FA Cup quarterfinals continue with a bit of a barnstormer of a fixture between Premier League high-fliers Leicester City and Manchester United. It should be a good one.

The final whistle goes and Leicester City are through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, where they will face Southampton. Brendan Rodgers’ side have been well worth their win, relentlessly pressing United into error after error in midfield, and taking full advantage courtesy of Iheanacho’s brace and Tielemans’ superb finish.

There are four minutes of added time, but United are showing very little sign of the sort of comeback their manager is famous for. Leicester are heading through, and they full deserve it.

Fernandes curls in a beauty of a free-kick, but Schmeichel is equal to it. That probably need to go in for United to stand any chance of conjuring up a comeback.
84'
United turn to Amad Diallo to try and conjure up something. He replaces the goalscorer Greenwood.

The tireless Vardy makes way as Leicester look to tighten things up. He should have scored, but aside from that ropey finish he's been excellent today.
80'
This has been such a good display from Leicester. They are well-worth their lead and you wouldn’t bet against them stretching their advantage on the break late on.
78'
A deep free-kick picks out Iheanacho at the back post (partly due to a horrible misjudgement from McTominay) and the Leicester striker makes no mistake.

GOOOAAALLL!!! It’s Leicester and Iheanacho again! Is that game over? 3-1!
76'
United break and look set for a four-on-three, but Fred’s pass is poor and the chance goes begging.
74'
United look so much better since making those changes, it’s really quite remarkable. Fernandes is pulling the strings and McTominay has added some real solidity.

Leicester make a change, withdrawing Perez to add the fresh legs of Praet to midfield.
70'
United are really going for this equaliser, but it’s leaving acres of space on the counter for Leicester to exploit. It’s making for a fascinating game.
67'
Wan-Bissaka fires in a cross, but Cavani can’t quite react quickly enough and Leicester survive.
66'
United look a team transformed since those changes and have Leicester camped back on the edge of their own box.

This is quite the statement from Solskjaer. Manchester United make four changes at the same time, completely reshuffling the pack. Bruno Fernandes, Edinson Cavani, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay replace Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Donny van de Beek and Alex Telles.
63'
Telles’ free-kick is poor though and glides harmlessly behind.
62'
Evans fouls Martial (or maybe he doesn’t, it’s quite hard to tell on the replays) to halt a counter-attack. Either way it’s a free-kick and United have a chance to get the ball into the box.
60'
Vardy bursts into the box again and tries a reverse pass that is cut out by Lindelof. That’s good again from Leicester. They are playing so well here.

Vardy bursts through one-on-one as Leicester again press United into a mistake, but he snatches at the chance and shoots wide of the near post. That should have been Leicester’s third and could be a big moment in the match.
Here's that goal from Tielemans. What a classy player he is.
