As far as Sunderland are concerned, they have just had two tough games in four days against Arsenal and Liverpool. That is part of the reason for a weakened side. Sunderland also need some of their squad to get up to speed.

Grimsby are struggling to get any momentum going after the Wolves goal.

A big chance for Tolu Arokodare to double the lead but he was never in control of his shot and it flies well over the bar.
Grimsby 0-1 Wolves
Santiago Bueno is the first Wolves defender to score an away FA Cup goal since Rayan Aït-Nouri struck against Bristol City in January 2025.
Grimsby 0-1 Wolves
Wolves have only won four matches all season.
They've still got work to do in conditions that are worsening by the minute.

Leeds got taken further than they would have liked, but they got the job done and it's nice to see a cup run coming together for a change! Commiserations to a very good Birmingham side and all the best for the rest of the season.

Former Birmingham City striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at St Andrew's
It's a bad penalty from Patrick Roberts. He'll be heartbroken.
Birmingham were outstanding. That shows if they do get promoted they can compete.
You never like to see teams knocked out on penalties but good luck to Leeds in the next round.

Joao Gomes puts in a terrific delivery and Santiago Bueno with an instinctive striker's finish.
Oxford 0-1 Sunderland
Sunderland have the lead but Championship strugglers Oxford have given a good account of themselves so far.
Stoke 1-0 Fulham
The whistle goes for half time with Championship side Stoke beating Premier League Fulham.
Stoke 1-0 Fulham
Great save!
Kevin charges through on goal and is surely going to equalise. He hits his shot well enough but Tommy Simkin reacts superbly to save.

Brazilian João Gomes delivers a cross into the Grimsby box and Uruguay defender Santiago Bueno flicks it past the keeper to give Wolves the lead.
It followed a throw-in which Grimsby just couldn't get clear.

It is hard to understand why Fulham and Sunderland aren’t playing stronger teams. They’re probably the only two teams in the Premier League who are not candidates for either relegation or Europe.
Dennis, Cambridge
Oxford 0-1 Sunderland
Will Vaulks sends a long throw into the box for Oxford and Christ Makosso rises unchallenged but sends his header just wide.
Sean Longstaff
Leeds are through!
Sean Longstaff steps up full of confidence and hammers into the right side of the goal.
Patrick Roberts
Oh, it's rotten from Patrick Roberts. He lifts it high over the top and into the Leeds fans.
Brenden Aaronson
Advantage Leeds!
Brenden Aaronson steps up in front of the Leeds fans and slots to his right.
Tommy Doyle
Lucas Perri reads it well and dives low to his right to keep it out.
Advantage Leeds.

It's all square.

Another one low to his left. Lucas Perri went the wrong way.

This is the first meeting between Arsenal and Wigan since the 2013-14 FA Cup semi-final, which is their only previous FA Cup encounter. After a 1-1 draw, the Gunners won 4-2 on penalties with current boss Mikel Arteta netting in the shootout.
Wigan have lost 10 of their 11 away games against Arsenal in all competitions – the other was a 2-1 win in April 2012 in the Premier League under Roberto Martinez.
Arsenal are looking to reach the FA Cup fifth round for the first time since 2019-20, when they went on to win the competition. This is only their third tie at this stage since then, losing 1-0 to Southampton in 2020-21 and 1-0 to Man City in 2022-23 previously.
Wigan Athletic have won their last six away matches in the FA Cup, conceding just one goal in this run. They’ve already had one run of seven away wins in the competition from January 2013 to March 2014 – should they win here it would be just the fifth ever run of seven away wins in a row by a team in FA Cup history (first round onwards) and two would have been achieved by the Latics.
All four of Arsenal’s goals in the FA Cup third round 4-1 win over Portsmouth came via set pieces (three corners, one free-kick) – despite only playing this one game in 2025-26, no side has more set piece goals in the FA Cup this season than the Gunners (first round onwards).
