Coventry City v Maidstone United: FA Cup fifth round – live

Mark Robins: “They’ve done brilliantly to be here – George has done a fantastic job. These are banana skins, everyone will be rooting for Maidstone tonight. If we don’t pay them the respect they are due, they can hurt us. They will have no fear.”

Gabriel Clarke is still exceptional at making packages for sport. Great to leave the final words to Elokobi.

Maidstone gaffer George Elokobi has been get the away end excited already.

Maidstone have brought 5,000 fans to Coventry, which is a decent effort.

This is all still mainly relevant, especially as I wrote it.

Pre-match reading.

Coventry: Wilson, Latibeaudiere, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell, Kelly, Torp, Palmer, Tavares, Simms, Wright

Subs: Bell, Binks, Dasilva, O’Hare, Golden, Van Ewijk, Lusala, Eccles, Andrews

Subs: Hoyte, Ezennolim, Earle, Court, Smith, Gurung, Iandolo

Will the Maidstone FA Cup run of shocking fun continue? They have seen off League Two, League One and Championship opposition. Barrow, Stevenage and Ipswich are all vying for promotion but they were unable to turn over the unfancied National League South side.

Coventry are the next team at risk of shaming the professional ranks by losing to minnows but Mark Robins will have his team up for this one. They sit four points off the playoff places in the Championship and were a penalty shootout away from being in the Premier League last season so, needless to say, they are no mugs.

I am sure Maidstone will have wanted to test themselves against some of the country’s very best but a trip to Coventry will provides the part-timers a shot of reaching the final eight.

Let’s hope for a cracker.

Kick-off: 7.45pm GMT
