SILKY VIRGILY
Under pressure from Collins, he Cruyff turns away and sets off another attack ... which ends with Minamino lashing into the middle of nowhere.

SLIGHTLY SURPRISING NEWS FROM ELSEWHERE

HOW IS IT GOING?
Pretty nicely from Cardiff's perspective. Liverpool are dominating the ball, defenders "in and around" halfway, but they've only made one chance and that took a moment of inspiration.

A CORNER DROPS TO VAN DIJK
But Flint blocks the resultant shot at source.

UP GOES THE FLAG
Jones feeds Tsimikas, who stands up a cross for Minamino; he can't win it first-time, but Firmino challenges for the loose ball and it drops to the Japanese, who drives home before Tsimikas is ruled offside.
7'
HARRIS CATCHES VAN DIJK
With a hand to face. But he'll be fine.

JOTA, THEN
I knew he could play, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by how well he's done at Liverpool, given how frequently good players turn into supermen once they encounter Jurgen Klopp. But I was.

JOTA SHOULD SCORE!
I didn't expect him to miss that - he's been so assured in front of goal since arriving at Anfield. But here he is, taking a touch to control Keirta's pass then finding a gloooorious touch to meg Dewham, right up behind him; he's in! But instead of passing a finish by Phillips, he drives straight at him and the keeper makes a decent save he should never have smelled!

PACK PINCHES IT IN MIDFIELD
He's a unit is Pack, and he takes a loose ball, strides through midfield, and drags a tame shot wide.

KELLEHER LOOKS DECENT
But Alisson is only 39 - he could easily go for another decade, so it may well be that to make it, the young Irishman needs to leave Anfield. But for now, he's doing pretty well.

CARDIFF WON'T JUST LET IT HAPPEN
Harris chases down Van Dijk, forcing him to play back to Kelleher, who thumps clear.

KICK-OFF
Off we go!
12:00
The players take the knee, good. On Friday night, Middlesbrough's players decided against it.
11:57
Here come the teams...
11:56
"Make it a cuptie," says Keane, advising the Cardiff players. Simple, but true - making it a phyiscal contest is their best route to success.
11:55
The teams are tunnelling...
11:53
Six thousand Bluebirds fans have made the trip to Anfield, so we should get a decent row in the ground. I wish away sides got cup allocations for league games.
11:48
Keane also notes Cole's attire, saying he couldn't concentrate on the draw. It's not hard: never wear cardies, least of all those navy with scarlet trim.
11:46
That completes the draw, ties to be played in the week of Monday 28th February.

Everton v AFC Bournemouth or Borehamwood

Nottingham Forest or Leicester City v Huddersfield Town
