Saturday’s briefing: Wrexham FA Cup joy and Tottenham set for Tudor period

Chelsea and Wrexham are the first names into the hat for the FA Cup fifth round.

Managerial changes are afoot in the Premier League, with Igor Tudor set to take short-term charge of Tottenham and Vitor Pereira agreeing a deal with Nottingham Forest.

Manchester City could be without Rodri in the near future after he was charged by the Football Association.

Treble for Neto

Pedro Neto scored a hat-trick as Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior’s first return to former club Hull ended in a comfortable 4-0 victory in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Neto’s superb 18-yard effort gave Chelsea an interval lead and after he struck again direct from a corner early in the second half, Brazil forward Estevao put the tie to bed just before the hour-mark.

Portugal winger Neto completed his hat-trick with 19 minutes remaining, while Championship promotion-chasers Hull never threatened to cause an upset.

Rosenior’s reign as Chelsea boss began in January with a thumping 5-1 win at Charlton in the third round and, on an emotional return to the MKM Stadium – where he was a former player and manager – the Londoners cruised into the last 16.

Josh Windass struck as Wrexham reached the fifth round for the first time since 1997 with a tense 1-0 win over Ipswich.

Tudor set for Spurs reign

Igor Tudor has verbally agreed to take charge of Tottenham on a deal until the end of the season, the Press Association understands.

Spurs dismissed Thomas Frank on Wednesday following a dismal display in a 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle.

That loss left the club 16th in the Premier League and only five points above the relegation zone.

Former Croatia international Tudor was dismissed by Juventus last October following an eight-match run without a win.

Prior to his six-month stint at Juventus, Tudor has also had managerial spells with Galatasaray, Udinese, Marseille and Lazio.

Forest turn to Vitor Pereira

Vitor Pereira has agreed a deal to become Nottingham Forest’s fourth manager of the season.

The former Wolves boss was identified as the first choice to replace Sean Dyche, who was sacked following Wednesday’s goalless Premier League draw with the Molineux club.

Talks progressed swiftly and the two parties have agreed a contract, the Press Association understands.

Pereira had been out of work since leaving Wolves in November after a disastrous start to the campaign.

But he kept them up the season before after taking over from Gary O’Neil and he has worked under Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis at Olympiacos.

Rodri charged over integrity comments

Manchester City midfielder Rodri faces a potential ban after allegedly questioning the integrity of officials.

The Spain international said referees “have to be neutral” after City’s 2-2 draw at Tottenham in the Premier League on February 1.

The Football Association announced on Friday that the Spain international had been charged with misconduct over his remarks, which were made in a TV interview with an Australian broadcaster.

City, who had led the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 2-0, were frustrated that Dominic Solanke’s first goal in Spurs’ fightback was not disallowed for a foul on Marc Guehi by referee Robert Jones.

Rodri told Stan Sport: “I know we won too much and the people don’t want us to win but the referee has to be neutral and for me honestly, it’s not fair.”

What’s on today?

Manchester City host neighbours Salford and Liverpool take on Brighton in the FA Cup fourth round.

There is also an all-Premier League tie between Aston Villa and Newcastle, while Burton will try to cause a shock when they welcome West Ham.

League One Mansfield travel to Burnley, while there are all-Championship clashes between Norwich and West Brom and Southampton and Leicester.
