Gary Lineker introduces live FA Cup fourth-round action as third-tier Birmingham City attempt to knock out Premier League high-flyers Newcastle United.
Newcastle鈥檚 lengthy wait for a domestic trophy is well documented and the six-time FA Cup winners last lifted this famous trophy almost 70 years ago. Eddie Howe鈥檚 side were beaten finalists in the 2023 League Cup and will start as firm favourites to progress in this tie.
Birmingham have been victorious in just one of their previous 15 meetings with the Magpies, drawing seven and losing seven, but that sole win did come in this competition in 2007. The Blues entered this season鈥檚 FA Cup in the first round for the first time in 30 years and have beaten Sutton United, Blackpool and Lincoln City to reach this stage.
Expert analysis is provided by Alan Shearer, Curtis Davies and Shay Given, while commentary comes from Guy Mowbray and Matthew Upson.
