Coverage of tonight's Uefa Cup first-round, second-leg match from Lyon France. Despite looking the most likely team to score for much of the first leg, Blackburn Rovers succumbed to a spectacular late winner from Lyon defender Jacek Bak to trail on going into this evening's clash. Manager Roy Hodgson 's men need to reverse the poor scoring record that has seen them struggle to keep up with the early-season pace in the FA Premiership, especially as they can expect to face a defensive Olympique Lyonnais side eager to preserve their vital away goal scored at Ewood Park a fortnight ago.

Coverage from Anfield of an FA Cup fourth-round clash between two top teams who usually produce a goal glut.

Coverage from Fratton Park of this all-Premiership FA Cup quarter-final.

Coverage from the New Den as the two FA Cup underdogs compete in the quarter-finals, ensuring another non-Premiership side will progress to the semi-finals.

But the Lions face fierce competition from second division Rovers, who have reached this stage of the competition three times in the last five seasons and are enjoying something of a renaissance under new manager Brian Little.

Who will make it through to Monday's quarter-final draw?

As well as deciding a spot in the last eight, the match will also go some way to deciding bragging rights as the premier team in the North West.

All the magic of the Cup is about to envelop the two Premiership sides who line up this afternoon for the 125th annual showpiece occasion at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
