Afternoon folks! This is one of three fourth-round matches kicking off in an hour's time. Team news on its way...
BOLTON XI: Lonergan; Ream, Mills, Knight, Baptiste; Spearing, Medo, Danns; Eagles, Lee; C Davies
BOLTON SUBS: Bogdan, Pratley, Moritz, Odelusi, Vela, White, Hall

Bolton manager
Dougie Freedman elects not to bring Andre Moritz back into his starting lineup. He missed out last week because of injury but is only back on the bench today.
For Cardiff,
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hands a full debut to January signing Magnus Wolff Eikrem while another addition, Mats Moller Daehli, is on the bench.
REFEREE WATCH! The man in charge today is
Jonathan Moss.
One interesting subplot today is the Cardiff right-back Kevin McNaughton, who made 13 starts for Bolton earlier this season on loan at the Reebok Stadium.

As mentioned above, neither side is doing as well as they might have hoped in their respective league this season. Cardiff are rockbottom of what is a
very tight bottom half of the Premier League. All three sides in the bottom three are on 18 points, with 11th-placed Aston Villa just five points further ahead.
Bolton, meanwhile, are
down in 18th place in the Championship, four points clear of the second tier's bottom three.
Take a look at Bolton's form this season
here. They didn't pick up a league win until October but then went unbeaten for a while. They ended the year struggling for wins though and last week
suffered a humiliation by losing 7-1 at Reading.
Cardiff may have also lost their last game but it was a respectable display as they only
went down 4-2 at the Etihad to free-scoring Manchester City. Here's the two sides' recent form:
BOLTON: LDWDLW
CARDIFF: LLWLDL
LAST TIME OUT: When these two met in the league last season, Bolton
won the game at the Reebok while the most recent match in April last year
ended as a draw. Craig Noone scored in both of those games but he's been dropped to the bench today despite his impressive performance against City last week.
We're covering three of the 3pm kickoffs with detailed live updates on
SM this afternoon. Find all the links if you want to follow another game as well as this
here.
Between them, these two sides have won the
FA Cup five times. Bolton have been triumphant on four occasions, but not since 1958 while Cardiff's one and only success was way back in 1927. They are the only non-English team to win the famous old competition.
PREDICTION TIME! Just 10 minutes until kickoff at the Reebok. I've got to say that I can see a draw today. Neither side will particularly want a replay but it's the most likely result in my eyes.
In today's early game, Liverpool avoided an upset by
coming past Championship side Bournemouth 2-0. Victor Moses and Daniel Sturridge scored the goals.
Here come the two teams out of the tunnel:
KICKOFF! And we're off at the Reebok. Bolton in white and navy, Cardiff in red with their changed shorts of white instead of black.
Manchester United manager David Moyes was at the club's training ground this morning to welcome club-record signing Juan Mata for his medical. He's made the trip to the Reebok this afternoon though to take a look at Cardiff, who United play on Tuesday night in the league.
Best opening of the match so far as Eikrem is fed the ball down the right and crosses for Cornelius. With his back to goal, he lays it off for Mason, who is shut out before the ball drops to Whittingham who also can't get a shot away.
Bolton respond well as Turner nods the ball away from Davies for a corner. Danns whips it in and the loose ball falls kindly for Eagles, whose shot is blocked.
Careless from new Cardiff man Eikrem as he gifts Bolton possession to break. Danns slips in Eagles and he looks for a low cross into the middle that Cardiff keeper Marshall pushes away from danger.
BOOKING! Chung-Yong is shown the first yellow card of the game for a nasty, nasty tackle on Gunnarsson.
SHOT! Some might argue that he's lucky to be on the field after that last challenge, but Chung-Yong almost gives Bolton the lead with a dipping 20-yard drive that Marshall watches wide.
Whoa! Struggling Championship side Watford have just gone in front
AT Manchester City!

UPDATE! Can you believe this?! Watford are now two ahead at Manchester City!!
Whittingham curls over a deep corner for the visitors that is met at the back post by Hudson. He heads it back across the face of goal but there's no-one coming in to nod home.
Little to speak of in the last few minutes. Most of the play on the deck is happening in the middle third while both defences are happy to lump the ball up hopefully towards the frontmen.
BOOKING! Moss gets out his yellow card for a second time after McNaughton beats Danns to the ball and was chopped down by his teammate from earlier this season.
I said before the game that I fancied a draw in this one and so far it's done little to change my mind. At this rate, a 0-0 is nailed on.
Half chance for Cardiff as the interval approaches. Theophile-Catherine cut the ball back for Whittingham but he couldn't test Lonergan in the Wanderers goal. One minute added on.
HALF-TIME: BOLTON 0-0 CARDIFF
Oh so close to a goal for Bolton with the final kick of the half. Chung-Yong won a corner and from the set piece the ball dropped to the South Korean, whose volley flew just wide of the post. Goalless it is at the break though.
STATS! Visitors Cardiff have had 58% of the ball while there has been seven shots but not a single one on target.
SNAP! Here's Lee, who has perhaps been Bolton's biggest threat, trying his luck in the first half:

CARDIFF SUBS! Solskjaer has made two half-time changes as Craig Noone and
Fraizer Campbell replace Magnus Wolff Eikrem and Andreas Cornelius, who both influenced the game very little in the first 45.
KICKOFF! The Trotters get us back underway as the rain comes down a bit heavier in Lancashire.
GOAL! BOLTON 0-1 CARDIFF (CAMPBELL)
It takes Campbell just five minutes to make an impact but it's a horrible goal for Bolton and especially keeper Lonergan to concede. He came out to smother the ball but then somehow let it out of his grasp, allowing Campbell a free goal to roll it into from a tight angle.
Moments before the goal at the other end Marshall made a great save from Davies's header but the offside flag had already gone up.
Campbell isn't quite tall enough to head the ball in for his second at the back post.
SAVE! Best moment of the match for the home side as Danns shifts the ball past Theophile-Catherien before stinging the palms of Marshall at the near post.
SAVE! Another good stop at his near post by Marshall as Baptiste's cross takes a wicked deflection.
SAVE! Yet another important stop by Marshall as Turner inadvertently diverts a cross towards his own goal, with Marshall tipping it wide.
BOOKING! Dear oh dear. Theophile-Catherine upends Lee and gets a booking. The resulting free kick is taken by Eagles but he skies and slices it horribly.
BOLTON SUBS! Freedman makes his first two changes, bringing on Sanmi Odelusi and Andre Moritz for Eagles and Medo.
City have pulled it back to 2-2 against Watford. Remember, if you want to keep up with all the fourth round matches at once,
open this link in a new tab.
Davies sends over a cross into the 'corridor of uncertainty' and it does cause confusion in the Cardiff defence but no white shirt can take advantage.
CARDIFF SUB: Solskjaer gives new boy Mats Mohller Daehli for Mason. That's the visitors' third and final change.
BOOKING! Spearing is rightly shown yellow for an awfully late tackle on Gunnarsson.
BOOKING! Kim is the next man to go into the book for bringing down Lee.
Bolton may be the ones chasing the game, but it's Cardiff who go close to a second as Campbell fires wide before Daehli almost caps his debut with a classy goal but fires over after tricky run.
FOUR minutes of time added on.
Bolton may be the ones chasing the game, but it's Cardiff who go close to a second as Campbell fires wide before Daehli almost caps his debut with a classy goal but fires over after tricky run.
BOOKINGS! Campbell and Baptiste square up and are both booked. Baptiste was dangerously close to seeing red as it looked like he dipped his head at the Cardiff man.
FULL-TIME: BOLTON 0-1 CARDIFF
No upset at the Reebok today then as Cardiff squeeze past Bolton in an ugly game in Lancashire. The winning goal came soon after the break when half-time substitute Fraizer Campbell rolled home following an awful blunder by Bolton keeper

Referee Moss dished out seven yellow cards and there could have been at least one red card as well.
Solskjaer's Cardiff progress into the last 16 of the FA Cup and will be in the hat for tomorrow's fifth-round draw, which you can follow LIVE here on Sports Mole.
The weather has played havoc with plenty of games today and as always on a Saturday there's been plenty of goals.
