So can Norwich complete the upset?

Full credit to Norwich this evening though, they have taken the Premier League champions all the way. Can they now steal this cup tie on penalties. Chelsea are going first. There is no ABBA system tonight by the way...

22:36
Was it a dive or wasn't it?

I would argue Morata could clearly stay on his feet but there is no denying Christoph Zimmermann clearly had his hands on the Chelsea striker...

22:34
END OF EXTRA TIME: Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City (AET)

Penalty shootout to be contested

22:33
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

Marco Stiepermann replaces Todd Cantwell for the final few minutes of a highly controversial extra period.

22:30
RED CARD: Alvaro Morata (Chelsea)

Drama! Morata is booked for diving inside the box despite Christoph Zimmermann appearing to haul down the striker - although again the Spaniard goes down too easily.

Understandably he is furious to be booked for diving, and his dissent towards the referee leads to a red card!

22:29
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

We are in the last minute as Norwich prepare a final switch.  There will be two added minutes for Chelsea to find a winner otherwise it is penalties.

22:26
RED CARD: Pedro (Chelsea)

Pedro takes one for the team, sort of, as he halts a Norwich counter attack with a clear foul. The only trouble is he has already been booked for diving so he departs the field with a second yellow.

22:26
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

Pinto has run out of steam out there having picked up cramp and is replaced by Alex Tettey for the final four minutes.

Wes Hoolahan, who came on in the second half of normal times, takes the captain's armband.

Timm Klose of Norwich City goes to ground under pressure from Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata who wanted a penalty for handball
22:24
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

Another chance goes begging for Morata who despite heading a cross towards goal can only nod it straight at Gunn. Five minutes to play...

22:22
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

Norwich are looking tired now and very much like a team who are settling for penalty kicks. Chelsea continue to pile forward but there is a break in play as Ivo Pinto is treated for cramp by his team-mates. There are seven minutes left as home supporters jeer the Canaries captain - suspecting gamesmanship.

22:20
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

And yet more Chelsea penalty appeals. Referee Graham Scott is still having none of it though as despite furious handball claims against Klose, play is waved on.

Credit to the referee for holding his bottle, having now turned down four Blues spot-kick appeals of varying validity, as the Norwich defender could do little about the ball hitting him.

22:17
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at Stamford Bridge

'Prepare for 15 minutes of Chelsea attacks... every player is in Norwich's half except for Willy Caballero.

'Have to say, Norwich goalkeeper Angus Gunn, on loan from Manchester City, has been superb this evening.'

Norwich City's English goalkeeper Angus Gunn saves from a Chelsea free-kick
22:16
SECOND HALF: Away we go for the final 15 minutes...

... and if we don't see no more goals, it will be over to penalty kicks.

22:12
HALF-TIME: Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

No doubt about the big talking point in that half. Willian's case for a penalty looked a strong one but VAR didn't think it was an obvious error. Many others however do.

If last night was a success for the new technology then tonight has flagged up its massive problems.

Chelsea's Willian goes down in the box following a challenge from Timm Klose
22:11
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

Brilliant save by Gunn! Willian's powerful strike from the edge of the box is parried clear by the nOrwich keeper... who then moments later denies Alvaro Morata from point blank range.

Norwich are holding on desperately at the end of this first half.

22:08
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

Both teams get a fourth change for extra time and Chelsea use theirs by sending on Eden Hazard for Danny Drinkwater. Norwich still have two changes remaining as we enter the final five minutes of the first half.

22:04
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

According to the VAR panel, the Willian incident didn't lend itself to being an 'obvious error' from the referee.

I can actually see their point but in the interest of fairness I can also understand why Chelsea fans would be rather peeved at that decision. Consolation for the home side is that their side are all over the Championship side eight minutes into extra time. 

Chelsea's Willian appeared to be tripped by Norwich City's Timm Klose
Willian was instead booked for diving by referee Graham Scott
22:02
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at Stamford Bridge

'Is Graham Scott desperate not to use VAR? From our point of view in the Press box, it certainly warranted it...

'Antonio Conte going wild on the touchline, drawing rectangles in the air.'

22:01
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

Drama already! Willian goes down inside the box under a challenge from Timm Klose but instead of winning a penalty he is booked for diving.

There was contact and there are strong grounds for a spot-kick to be awarded but I suspect Willian's very unnatural tumble to the ground didn't aid his case for a penalty. For the record VAR was not consulted on the issue.

21:58
KICK-OFF: Away we go again for extra time at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea's Willy Caballero and David Luiz react after Norwich City's equaliser
21:55
Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

Incredible scenes at Stamford Bridge but do you know what? Norwich are good value for that equaliser. They haven't given up all evening and their persistence to attack until the end of the 90 minutes has been rewarded. Now onto 30 more minutes of action...

21:52
END OF 90 MINUTES: Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City

Extra-time to be played.

GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 NORWICH CITY

In the final minute of stoppage time, and with what is effectively the last attack of the 90 minutes, Jamal Lewis glances a Timm Klose cross across goal with his head and into the corner!

21:47
Chelsea 1-0 Norwich City

We are in snooker season with the Masters well underway in London, but this is anything but masterful from Alvaro Morata.

In fact I would go as far as saying this is a bad miss, as the Chelsea striker somehow fails to turn home an inviting cross from Pedro.

Norwich back on the attack as four minutes are added on.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte gestures on the touchline before sending on Alvaro Morata
21:46
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at Stamford Bridge

'Kudos to Norwich, who didn't come here just to limit their loss. Feel like they've given Chelsea a go. Could have been very different were it not for Willy Caballero.'

21:44
Chelsea 1-0 Norwich City

Four minutes to play and Chelsea make a third change as N'Golo Kante replaces Kenedy.

Norwich hand a debut to Todd Cantwell as he replaces Grant Hanley.

21:41
Chelsea 1-0 Norwich City

There are still seven minutes left at Stamford Bridge but Alvaro Morata nearly ends it as a contest as he glances a header just wide across goal following a decent Danny Drinkwater cross.

21:39
FULL-TIME: Wigan Athletic 3-0 Bournemouth

Wigan's reward for knocking out Bournemouth is a home tie against another Premier League opponent in West Ham United.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe (left) stands dejected on the DW Stadium touchline
21:38
Chelsea 1-0 Norwich City

Into the last 10 minutes and Norwich are looking keen on grabbing an equaliser, so much so that Antonio Conte makes a double change - sending on Alvaro Morata and Andreas Christensen as Ethan Ampadu and Batshuayi depart.

21:37
FULL-TIME: Swansea City 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Swansea will now visit Notts County in the fourth round

Wilfried Bony of Swansea City celebrates scoring the winning goal against Wolves
21:35
From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at the DW Stadium

'Bournemouth fans have made a 520-mile round trip to see their side stuffed 3-0. Depressingly, they lost by the same scoreline in the same round of the Cup to Millwall last season.'

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe scratches his head as Wigan counterpart Paul Cook looks on
21:34
Swansea City 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Into the last few minutes in our two 7.45pm games. Bournemouth are toast at the DW Stadium but can Wolves force extra-time at the Liberty Stadium?

21:32
Dan Burn and Callum Elder added to Wigan's goals against Bournemouth
21:30
Wilfried Bony restored Swansea's lead after Diogo Jota's equaliser
21:27
Chelsea 1-0 Norwich City

Don't write Norwich off just yet. Josh Murphy's deflected strike hits the post after Chelsea fail to clear a free-kick.

Chelsea soon counter and there are huge appeals of a penalty from the home fans after Pedro goes down after skipping past Angus Gunn.

Those appeals turn to jeers after the forward is booked for diving, but replays show Graham Scott's call was the correct one.

Norwich then go close again after robbing Danny Drinkwater of the ball, but James Maddison's effort is well saved by Willy Caballero.

21:22
GOAL! WIGAN ATHLETIC 3-0 Bournemouth

Just three minutes later and Callum Elder scores his first goal for the club after joining on loan from Leicester, looping in a header following a Max Power cross.

21:21
GOAL! WIGAN ATHLETIC 2-0 Bournemouth

Wigan look like they are on course for recording an upset as substitute Dan Burn strikes with 17 minutes to play.

21:20
Michy Batshuayi celebrates giving Chelsea the lead
21:13
GOAL! SWANSEA CITY 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

But Swansea hit back three minutes later! Wolves fail to clear Tom Carroll's cross and on hand to stab home is Wilfried Bony.

21:11
GOAL! CHELSEA 1-0 Norwich CIty

Of course five minutes after criticising him, Michy Batshuayi hits back at his critics by latching onto Kenedy's low near post cross to poke past Angus Gunn.

Click here for more maps and stats with our excellent Match Zone

21:10
GOAL! Swansea City 1-1 WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

Wolves have also made a change, with Diogo Jota coming off the bench and grabbing an equaliser having run onto a Roderick Miranda pass before cutting inside and firing home.

21:09
From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at the DW Stadium

'Jordon Ibe about to come on for Bournemouth..this is going to get interesting. Slippy surface making it hard for defenders.'

21:08
Chelsea 0-0 Norwich City

This is Michy Batshuayi's big audition but he is failing miserably so far. An attempt to hold up the ball in attack only results in him losing possession before then giving away a free-kick. Low key stuff so far in the second period.

21:05
From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at the DW Stadium

'Wigan boss Paul Cook has made one change but both sides have interesting players in reserve should the need arise.

'Jordon Ibe is on the Bournemouth bench whilst Wigan have ex-Manchester United forward Nick Powell as a possibility to bring on.'

Marc Pugh of Bournemouth and Sam Morsy of Wigan Athletic vie for possession
21:02
No changes at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea restart
Nelson Oliveira of Norwich City hit the crossbar for the Championship side in the first half
21:00
Wigan Athletic 1-0 Bournemouth

Will Grigg was on fire in the early stage sof this game but he has been hooked off seven minutes into the second period as he is replaced by Noel Hunt.

20:58
Wigan Athletic 1-0 Bournemouth

Good start to the half for Bournemouth, with Ryan Fraser denied an equaliser by Jamie Jones in the Wigan goal.

20:52
The SECOND HALVES are back underway in the 7.45pms

No changes at the Liberty or DW Stadium...

Jordan Ayew of Swansea City struck the only goal in the first half at the Liberty Stadium
20:49
There was one big cheer during the first half at the Bridge

And it rather sums this game up that a message from the PA announcer stating that the District Line is back up and running has brought the biggest cheer of the first half.

That's now three and a half matches in a row where a game involving Chelsea has not featured a goal. Surely something will give in the second half?

20:45
HALF-TIME: Chelsea 0-0 Norwich City

20:40
Chelsea 0-0 Norwich City

I'm still surprised this is goalless but only because Norwich have had a couple of decent opportunities. Oliveira fires over the bar again while a promising Canaries counter attack down the left results in a poor ball across goal rolling out for a goal kick.

20:37
HALF-TIME: Wigan Athletic 1-0 Bournemouth
There were very few fans inside the ground to watch Wigan vs Bournemouth
20:37
HALF-TIME: Swansea City 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Rafa Mir of Wolverhampton Wanderers puts pressure on Alfie Mawson of Swansea City
20:34
Chelsea 0-0 Norwich City

One of those notes might be 'avoid at all costs' though after this howler from the Chelsea striker.

A wayward pass is straight to Nelson Oliveira 23 yards out, whose shot with the outside of his boot loops over Willy Caballero only to bounce off the crossbar and over. Cracking effort.

20:33
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at Stamford Bridge

'Very subtle from the BBC cameras to switch from David Moyes in the stands to Michy Batshuayi and back to Mr Moyes, who was making notes. Hmm.'

West Ham United manager David Moyes looks on from inside Stamford Bridge
20:31
Chelsea 0-0 Norwich City

Honestly I'm surprised this is still goalless. Another chance for Chelsea but from a free-kick Willian curls over the bar.

20:29
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at Stamford Bridge

'Some rather awful attempts from Chelsea in this opening half hour but that shot from Danny Drinkwater was certainly sweet. Crossbar still shaking.

'Norwich under the cosh. Antonio Conte very animated on the touchline, constantly turning around to yell something or other at his coaching staff.'

20:27
Chelsea 0-0 Norwich City

Norwich continue to hang on in there but Chelsea are getting closer. Drinkwater's long range effort is tipped onto the crossbar by Gunn, although it wasn't the most convincing save, before the Canaries scramble clear.

Chelsea's Davide Zappacosta picked up a slight knock following a shot on goal
20:25
Swansea City 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers

It's been a good response from Wolves since they fell behind. Swansea clear a corner but the ball soon finds Alfred N'Diaye who sees a shot blocked.

20:21
By the way, it's easy to see why David Perkins is on a booking...

Only wish I could see pictures of Eddie Howe's reaction. Looking on from the background he doesn't appear to have seen the challenge on Ryan Fraser.

By the way, where's the ball here?

20:18
From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at the DW Stadium

'Nice feisty undercurrent to this game. We've had two bookings, could have had more, and Bournemouth are rattled and fighting back.'

Referee Stuart Attwell shows a yellow card as Wigan Athletic's Ryan Colcough looks on
20:15
Chelsea 0-0 Norwich City

More problems for Norwich as David Luiz stands over a free-kick 23 yards out, but his dipping strike over the wall is straight at Angus Gunn who makes the save.

20:14
From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at the DW Stadium

'Wigan are up for this – too up for it in the case of David Perkins who has been booked for leaving Ryan Fraser in a heap by the touchline.'

20:13
Chelsea 0-0 Norwich City

Norwich are riding their luck right now. Tiemoue Bakayoko flicks on a Kendy corner towards the backpost where Cesar Azpilicueta just misses out on sliding home.

Moments later Willian races onto a ball over the top, only to drag a shot wide across goal.

20:08
Chelsea 0-0 Norwich City

Lots of early pressure from Chelsea but the closest they have come to scoring so far has been with a Danny Drinkwater strike from 25 yards that just whistled past the post.

20:07

From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at the DW Stadium

'Will Grigg might not be on fire, but he's still hot. A nice flick forced Artur Boric to save and Wigan skipper Samy Morsy steered home the rebound.'

GOAL! SWANSEA CITY 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Fool me for slating the slow start. Now Swansea also lead as Jordan Ayew takes the ball past a sea of Wolves defenders before firing past Will Norris.

19:57
GOAL! WIGAN ATHLETIC 1-0 Bournemouth

What a start to this game for Grigg. After recovering from a knock he is back on the pitch and involved in the opening goal as his flick towards goal is beaten away before Sam Morsy converts the rebound.

19:57
From Sportsmail's Joe Bernstein at the DW STadium

'Will Grigg limps to sidelines for treatment on an injury. Enough rain in Wigan tonight to make sure nothing is on fire.'

19:56
Wigan Athletic 0-0 Bournemouth

This is about as low key as it gets in terms of starting this evening's action. Will Grigg tees up Gavin Massey who fires in a low shot that is well saved by Artur Boruc.

Referee: Stuart Attwell (Warwickshire)

19:26
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at Stamford Bridge

'If Michy Batshuayi wants to stay at Stamford Bridge, then he has to show Antonio Conte some sign of life tonight.

'Aside from two goals for the Under 21s against MK Dons in the Checkatrade Trophy in December, Batshuayi has not scored since October.

'Chelsea paid £33m for Batshuayi in the summer of 2016. For that, you can get an Andy Carroll and a half.'

Police patrol outside Stamford Bridge before the FA Cup third round replay
19:19
Chelsea vs Norwich delayed until 8pm

There is a faulty train on the District Line serving Stamford Bridge which has led to it being part suspended.

As a result kick-off has been delayed by 15 minutes until 8pm. Norwich players had been warming up, but have now gone back into the changing room.

19:18
So how many fans do you think will turn up for Wigan vs Bournemouth?

If this helps, here's a rough guide to how many turned up last time these teams met in the FA Cup at the DW Stadium...

19:13
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at Stamford Bridge

'Looking forward to seeing Ethan Ampadu play again... and I'm sure Exeter City will be watching closely too.

'Chelsea have yet to agree a fee for the 17-year-old and no tribunal date has been set.

'With each appearance, however, his price is getting more and more expensive. Well, that's what the League Two side reckon anyway.'

Despite battling relegation, Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal makes six alterations to the team that drew 0-0 at Molineux.

The likes of Kyle Naughton, Tom Carroll, Alfie Mawson, Roque Mesa, Luciano Narsingh and Jordan Ayew all start as Mike van der Hoorn, Martin Olsson, Kyle Bartley, Wayne Routledge and Renato Sanches are left out.

The Liberty Stadium prepares to host Swansea City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
18:57
Eddie Howe makes four changes from the original tie

Having fought back to secure a last-gasp replay, Eddie Howe makes four changes to the team that came from 2-0 down to rescue a draw at the Vitality Stadium.

In come Jack Simpson, Charlie Daniels, Marc Pugh and Harry Arter as Nathan Ake, Brad Smith, Adam Smith and Emerson Hyndman make way.

18:50
Ethan Ampadu drafted into Chelsea side to face Norwich

Antonio Conte makes two changes to the Chelsea team that drew the original tie at Carrow Road, including 17-year-old Ethan Ampadu.

The midfielder comes into the team along with Cesar Azpilicueta as Antonio Rudiger and Gary Cahill make way.

Bournemouth starting XI
18:41
At least the Chelsea players have found Stamford Bridge...

...because they haven't been able to find the opposition's goal in recent times. They've gone over four-and-a-half hours without scoring so it will be interesting to see who Antonio Conte trusts to end that goal drought this evening.
