Follow live coverage as Sheffield United face Cardiff City in the FA Cup today. This season marks the 144th edition of the world’s oldest cup competition, with Manchester United the reigning champions after they beat local rivals Manchester City in the final at Wembley.

One of the goal scorers in that Sheffield win was club legend Don Murray, a Scottish defender who made more than 400 appearances for the Bluebirds between 1962 and 1975. "It was a game where I scored one of my few goals for Cardiff - I only scored about three in all my hundreds of games," said Murray, now 78.

Joe Ralls makes his 400th Cardiff City appearance as he leads out the Bluebirds. Among seven changes from our draw at Middlesbrough last time out, U21 right-back Ronan Kpakio starts. Cardiff City: Horvath, Kpakio, Fish, Daland, Bagan, Ng, Ralls (C), Tanner, R Colwill, Ashford, Etete.
