Fourteen Premier League teams are due to play that evening; nine or ten of them are still in the Cup. I very much doubt if all of them will play their 4th round games on the Friday or the Saturday.

Stands feck all chance I reckon. Manure, Man City, Arse and Spuds still in it.
There were six televised third round games, presumably it will be the same for the fourth round.

You know very well that I was watching Alf Commons banging them in at Ayresome Park in those days.

Feckin hell. Didn't realise that. They picked 6 games that didn't appeal in the slightest.
Actually there were seven, I forgot about the one that was on BBC Wales.

Virtually impossible at this stage to get a TV gig in the FA Cup unless you're drawn against the 'big six'. I think five out of the six's matches got picked in round three.
I think I'm right in saying that Man Utd have had fifty five successive FA Cup ties selected for TV.

There's already a trophy. Goes nicely with the Premier League one.

I liked the suggestion that the losing team receives it too!

Barrow-Rochdale and Sutton-AFC Wimbledon on saturday. Cambridge-Leeds today.
They weren't televised in the UK though.
I'd be happy with it being one of the Saturday games that's televised elsewhere in the world, there'd be a stream and the match can be played at the proper time.

Derby get their glamour tie against the Champions, Leicester finally catch a break and draw some lower league rubbish. Every one's a winner.
