The FA Cup Fourth Round Starts with Yeovil vs United
United travel to Yeovil, a team they have faced a couple of times in the FA Cup. The most recent meeting was three years ago at the Huish, where they meet today. United were less than convincing when they won 0-2 three years ago . Let's see how they fare today as they travel to the lowest ranked team left in the competition, who are fourth from bottom of the Football League

There is actually another Cup Tie as Not a Big Club hosts the Reading Railroad in an all Championship clash.
United have had a tough time vs lower division opponents in the Cup, being held 0-0 at Cambridge vs Crawley, and vs Exeter. United won each replay. However, they lost to then L1 Leeds 0-1 at OT. United cannot take Yeovil for granted
The teams are out on the pitch at the tiny Huish as Alexis is out for his United debut and Michael Carrick makes his first competitive first team appearance of the season for United.
A moment's applause due to the recent passing of Jimmy Armfield.
They're off from The Huish
Marcos Rojo immediately wins a free kick
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!

A long range effort from Herrera just fails to clear the tiny stadium off a long United possession.
The rusty Carrick concedes a Yeovil free kick inches from the D
The free kick from James is straight to Romero , who fists it away in stead of catching it and United have to withstand a spell of pressure due to that. United finally clear it away
Not a Big Club is one up at the half vs the Reading Railroad.
Alexis drags a shot wide from the corner of the box off a decent United possession.
WAY HAY!!! RASH GIVES UNITED THE LEAD, ALBEIT AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY.
Yeovil were punished for their first mistake of the match. A long goal kick from Krysiak was headed to Rash, who played the ball to Alexis. He went on a run and played it back to Rash, who was quadruple teamed. A Yeovil defender dwelled on the ball in his six yard box and Rash nipped in to put it pass Krysiak from close range.
A minute of stoppage time.
United one up at the half despite being far from impressive.
Nuhiu with his second goal as Not a Big Club go two up vs the Reading Railroad.

Hiya MUR
I am home after work and a walk with Shadow
United took the lead just before I got home
How do they look?
Lindelhof lectured by referee , Paul Tierney , for using Sam Sturridge to go on a piggy back ride.
Yeovil make a substitution and bring on a second striker, showing their intent to attack United,
Good afternoon, UWS. United have been really average to be honest with you. It was fairly even in the first half with United doing all the attacking in the second half without really threatening to score.
Also, United were gifted the goal by poor Yeovil defending.
United took too long to shoot and too many passes as Luke Shaw had two close range efforts blocked.
Lesoko wins a corner off of Rojo.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! HERRERA PUTS UNITED TWO UP ON A COUNTER OFF A YEOVIL CORNER.
TWO NIL
Herrera with the goal
Assist by Sanchez
Herrera scored when the teams met here three years ago. A long clearance off the Yeovil corner found Mata on the halfway line. He screened the ball and passed to Alexis , who had made a run . He played the ball down the left to Herrera , who cut in a nd drilled it in the corner past Krysiak.
THREE NIL.....No.. Offside
Mata scores with a far post tap in , but it's disallowed as he's several yards offside. Alexis found McTomain , who passed to Darmian down the right and his pass was put away, but it was offside.
I saw highlight of Herera's other goal
We need a Sanchez goal
United with their first substitution and its a Mata of the Chunk coming on for United. Will he take Chunks out of Yeovil? Some chunks have been taken out of the pitch.
Sanchez has had a pair of assists and has been United's best player by far.
I hope he makes us go forward!
Fisher, formerly of the Glenn Hoddle Academy, is on for the hard working Jordan Green.
McTomain wins a United corner.
Not a good corner from Lexis , but it's cleared straight to a United player.
Lingard replacing Sanchez... good debut
All smiles on the bench from Sanchez and Mouri
United to win the rest of their games!!
Alexis is replaced after a successful debut and gets a deserved ovation from the visiting United supporters as he's replaced by Lindy
Agreed and have Citeh lose some more matches as well.
Sam Sturridge has a powerful long range effort go straight to Romero.
Glad Arsenal beat Chelsea in the League Cup semi
Chelsea play United that weekend. At least they won't be busy that day!
Arenal play City in the Cup Final....Arsenal were supposed to meet City in the league the same day!
United Shaw do win a corner off a pass from The Chunk.
Ciorrect, Dave. That is an interesting coincidence. I think that means that Citeh and the Gunners meet twice in four days while Jose's mate Conte visits OT
Lingard finds Rashford...saved
The Reading Railroad scores a consolation goal at Hillsborough thanks to a Dawson O.G. , but trail 3-1.

McTom fouls and gets booked
I don't think it was a bookable challenge
