FA Cup fifth round: Simms hits hat-trick as Coventry cruise against Maidstone – radio & text

I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself, but it’s looking possible that Coventry will become the first team through to the last-eight tonight.

Once this one is done and dusted, there are seven more FA Cup fifth round ties to settle this week.

No replays at this stage, remember, but if needed we can look forward to extra-time and, ugh, penalties to decide who reaches the quarter-finals.

I suspect Maidstone would settle for penalties at this point…

Tuesday

Bournemouth v Leicester

Blackburn v Newcastle

Luton v Manchester City

Wednesday

Chelsea v Leeds

Nottingham Forest v Manchester United

Wolves v Brighton & Hove Albion

Liverpool v Southampton
