Birmingham City are in the FA Cup Fourth Round for the third year in a row after they edged out League One rivals Lincoln City.

Goals from Ayumu Yokoyama and Lyndon Dykes, the Scotland international’s second half strike an absolute belter, gave Blues a 2-0 lead and meant the Imps’ late penalty would not be enough.


As a result Blues’ 2-1 win means their undefeated run extends to 12 games and they can now sit back and wait safe in the knowledge that they've already secured their own place in the draw, which takes place on Sunday 12 January , following the conclusion of Arsenal v Manchester United which kicks off at 3pm.

Hosted by Kelly Somers, the draw will be made by Martin Keown and Mark Schwarzer on BBC One, potentially around 5pm - but that'll depend on when the Arsenal v Man United game finishes, a game which conceivably head into extra time and penalties, which will occur if they're required.

The 32 ties take place from Thursday 9 January through until Monday 13 January
