Huddersfield Town 1-1 Birmingham City: Lukas Jutkiewicz earns FA Cup replay for Championship
When Huddersfield and Birmingham are ringing the changes you know that the FA Cup is not what it once was. The hosts, with Premier League survival the priority, made seven. Their visitors, looking to preserve Championship status, did likewise. What followed was a result – and a replay – neither wanted. In a low quality game which improved after the break, Steve Mounie gave the Premier League side a first-half lead before Lukas Jutkiewicz's 54th-minute leveller ensured another outing in front of more blue empty seats. Jutkiewicz then had a header ruled out for offside before, at the death, former Birmingham trainee and Aston Villa fan Joe Lolley could have won it for the hosts when he found himself all alone in the area. Lolley's shot, however, sailed high over the bar and sent heads dropping into hands.

Wednesday boss Jos Luhukay, taking charge of his first home league game, handed a start to Jordan Thorniley.

The bottom club in the Championship grafted tirelessly throughout and avoided a spanking on the scale of the 7-0 from their last collision back in 1985’s League Cup.
