Millwall v Birmingham City, R3, 13:30
Birmingham moved into the FA Cup fourth round after teaching Millwall how to finish in a lively game at the New Den.
Home striker Steve Morison missed a one-on-one just before Matt Derbyshire clinically lobbed in after 17 minutes.
David Murphy whipped home a free-kick 10 minutes later before Derbyshire dinked in deftly just before half-time.
Morison missed a penalty in the second period but, after Blues substitute Cameron Jerome headed in low, Danny Schofield lashed in a late consolation.
For most of the match, Championship club Millwall had more possession and more chances than their Premier League opponents.
But an experimental Birmingham line-up rode their luck and made the most of their opportunities in front of goal.
