Follow Mail Sport’s live blog for the latest scores, team news and updates from Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round ties. Including Sheffield United vs Brighton, Everton vs Luton Town, Leeds United vs Plymouth and Leicester vs Birmingham.

Maidstone are back in the game!

Sarmiento goes from hero to zero as he gives the ball away to set up another steaming goal from the visitors. It’s the main man from the third round, Sam Corne, and against the odds, Maidstone are ahead – again.

Amadou Onana, Jarrad Branthwaite and Abdoulaye Doucoure have been inked moves out of Goodison Park but Dyche insists the club’s financial situation has stabilised since being hit with a 10-point deduction, and facing a further charge relating to accounts up to 2023.

Everton sold Anthony Gordon to Newcastle for £45million at the end of last year’s January window and six players including Alex Iwobi left in the summer to raise further revenue…

What will Maidstone do now?

Just 10 minutes into the second-half, Brighton loanee Jeremy Sarmiento has dragged the hosts level with a lightly-deflected shot that had goalkeeper Lucas Covolan absolutely snookered.

Ipswich celebrate the equaliser by bringing on a raft of substitutes. Things could be about to get a little dicey for the visitors…

In case you missed it: the departure of Jurgen Klopp

The first half of that title seems laughable – little has set social media alight like the shock announcement (which caught everyone, and I mean everyone, by surprise) that Jurgen Klopp is set to leave Liverpool after nine trophy-ladened years.

Anfield is certain to give their head coach an emotional response to the news at tomorrow’s FA Cup fixture against Norwich City.

Before then, treat yourself to Oliver Holt’s paen to a modern-day Bill Shankly, linked below.

Maidstone United manager George Elokobi speaks to the BBC

His quick half-time chat urged his side to ‘try to be us’. Will it be enough for the final 45?

Nothing is won at half-time, we have to be mindful of that. We gave our supporters something to cheer about.

We rode our luck a couple of times and if we are going to get anything out of this game, we are going to need a lot of luck. I am proud of our boys, we want to be us and we have to keep going at that.

Fourth-round ties: the FA Cup so far

The weekend is well and truly underway after last night’s four ties, but all but one of them ended unsatisfyingly to force a reply.

There were draws at Bristol City as they held Nottingham Forest to a goalless tie, at Sheffield Wednesday versus Coventry City after the hosts equalised late-on, and at Stamford Bridge, where both Aston Villa and Chelsa will have felt aggreived not to come away with a result.

Thank God, then, for Tottenham versus Man City. It may have taken Guardiola’s side 88 minutes to find their opener, but at the very least we know one of our fifth-round competitors.

WATCH: Lamar Reynolds’ wonder-goal

But what will fate have for the minnows in the second half?

Meanwhile, in East Anglia…

You may or may not believe it, but sixth-tier Maidstone United have swiped the lead against Championship opponents Ipswich Town, minutes before heading for the break.

The goal in question was an absolute peach, and a wrecking ball to all of Ipswich’s control and possession in the first-half.

Bring on the magic of the cup cliches!

Good afternoon!

Hello and welcome to Mail Sport’s live coverage of a rather scant afternoon of 3pm FA Cup kick-offs.

Due to a surfeit of teams playing last night and over the weekend, we’ve only got four matches to focus on this sunny Saturday afternoon, including Luton’s trip to Everton and Brighton’s match-up against Sheffield, plus Leeds versus Plymouth, and Birmingham’s day out at the King Power against Leicester.

With just over an hour-and-a-half before kick-off, stick around as we bring you all the build-up, team news, and more.
