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.

Change for the visitors, and it looks like an injury to the right hamstring for Mason Mount, who is replaced by Mason Bennett.

That could be a huge blow for Frank Lampard.

43 min: Accrington Stanley 0-0 Derby County 

Derby have just had to regroup since the loss of Chelsea loanee Mount, with just three minutes left until the break. 

Ross Sykes and Jayden Bogle have a little spat in the area after a timid penalty claim, and they both get a talking to from referee John Moss.

45 min: Accrington Stanley 0-0 Derby County 

Derby's best move of the half comes right at the end of the first 45, but Waghorn can do little with Malone's fired ball to the near post.

So, all square at the Crown Ground at the break, but the hosts have given a decent account of themselves here against Frank Lampard's Derby.

Jordan Clark might have done better with a McConville cross early on, while Callum Johnson and McConville himself have also had opportunities.

The pitch has not been conducive to Frank Lampard's style of play but his side have created a couple of chances, the best of which needed the intervention of Maxted to deny Waghorn.

However, the visitors have lost Mason Mount, the on-loan Chelsea midfielder, to a suspected hamstring injury and that will be a huge blow for the Rams, with just five days of the transfer window remaining.

We're back underway at the Crown Ground. Is there a winner here today?

Much improved start from Derby at the start of the second half. Substitute Mason Bennett has been central to that down the left.

A cross from that side nearly brings the opener, but Waghorn cannot make contact with Malone's cross at the back post.

Bennett is causing all sorts of problems down the left, and his ball in puts Richards-Everton in all sorts of bother, but the cross does not, thankfully for the Stanley defender, find a Derby player.

RED CARD! Dan Barlaser, who had a shot blocked moments earlier, is sent off by John Moss for a second yellow card offence following a dangerous tackle in midfield.

John Coleman is fuming. Near hero to definite villain.

That's a huge blow for the hosts, who had just had their first big opportunity of the half through the Newcastle loanee's one-two with McConville.

The hosts have not let the red card hinder them though, with Kee firing just over following Donacien's lay-off.
