FA Cup fourth round draw- Arsenal set to play Man Utd

Martyn Waghorn broke Accrington hearts as Frank Lampard saw his Derby side sneak through a tricky FA Cup fourth-round assignment.

Having dispatched of Southampton in the previous round and Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, the Championship play-off hopefuls were looking to avoid being on the wrong end of an upset in front of a record-breaking Wham Stadium crowd.

"We spy a giant killing" read the banner unfurled by Stanley fans before kick-off - a cheeky nod to the recent controversy involving Leeds - but Dan Barlaser's second-half sending off eventually told as Waghorn secured a late 1-0 win.

Player to watch…

Harry Wilson: The 21-year-old, on-loan from Liverpool, has flourished at Pride Park.

4 min: Accrington Stanley 0-0 Derby County 

Only in the early exchanges here but we already have the first yellow of the game, with Dan Barlaser fouling Derby's Liverpool loanee Harry Wilson.

A chance for either side.

Richards-Everton meets a deep free-kick but his header rolls through to Kelle Roos, before Martyn Waghorn is denied by a strong save from Jonny Maxted.

11 min: Accrington Stanley 0-0 Derby County 

Another chance for the hosts, but Jordan Clark ends up making a hash of a fizzed cross from Sean McConville.

16 min: Accrington Stanley 0-0 Derby County 

Derby County haven't quite settled into the game as they might have hoped, although the pitch at the Crown Ground has not helped their cause.

Scott Malone looks a threat down the left nonetheless for the visitors, and has made a couple on runs into the Stanley box.

21 min: Accrington Stanley 0-0 Derby County 

The hosts have enjoyed the majority of possession in the last five minutes at a sellout Crown Ground.

Both sides are getting into decent positions but the final ball has been lacking in the last ten minutes.

Fine stop from Jonny Maxted.

Another chance for the hosts, but still just the one shot on target in the game.

Callum Johnson finds himself in acres of space on the right, but drags his shot wide of the far post.

Sean McConville, who has scored eight goals for Accrington Stanley this season, has taken up some excellent positions so far.

He finds himself on the left this time, but cannot find the fizz on his curling effort quite like he did for his cross for Clark earlier.

Bit of a stoppage here as Billy Kee receives treatment after a strong challenge from Martyn Waghorn.

Except Waghorn's header, the visitors have largely been reduced to efforts outside the box, and there's another here from George Evans, but his effort is scuffed and eventually gathered by Maxted.
