Both ESPN and ITV have confirmed their FA Cup with Budweiser Fourth Round ties for live broadcast later this month.

Yesterday saw ITV1 announce Oldham Athletic v Liverpool on Sunday 27 January at 4pm.

ITV1’s coverage will begin on the Saturday 26 January with Crystal Palace or Stoke City against current Premier League champions Manchester City at 12.45pm.

Roberto Mancini’s side beat Watford 3-0 at the weekend while Palace held the Potters to a 0-0 stalemate at Selhurst Park.

If Stoke see off the Eagles at the Britannia Stadium it will set up a re-run of the 2011 Final which the Citizens won 1-0 thanks to Yaya Toure’s second-half goal at Wembley Stadium.

ESPN viewers will be able to enjoy three FA Cup ties over Fourth Round weekend and their coverage will begin with West Ham United or Manchester United v Fulham or Blackpool on Saturday 26 January at 5.30pm.

Sunday lunchtime will see The FA Cup holders in action with Chelsea heading to either Brentford or Southend United at 12pm.

The Football League sides battled to a 2-2 draw at the weekend with Southend United striker Barry Corr scoring twice after Uwe Rosler’s side had taken a two-goal lead at Roots Hall.

ESPN conclude their coverage with Leeds United or Birmingham City v Tottenham Hotspur at 2pm.

Spurs got their Cup campaign got underway on Saturday against League One’s Coventry City.

The tie was a re-run of the 1987 Final and the Sky Blues wore a replica of their Cup-winning kit but Tottenham ran out comfortable 3-0 winners at White Hart Lane thanks to a first-half brace from Clint Dempsey and a Gareth Bale goal.

Leeds and Birmingham replay next week after a 1-1 draw at Elland Road where Wade Elliott’s long-range strike for the Blues was cancelled out by Luciano Becchio’s second-half equaliser.

All ten clubs will receive £135,850 from The FA's broadcast fund while the winning side will also scoop £90,000 in prize money.

Personally, I'm just glad that there's a chance we might get to see Leeds again. We just do NOT see enough of them.

In fairness, NE, BHA seem to have been on more this season that any other I can remember already! And didn't we have another game re-scheduled to so that it could be on TV? Hull was it?

These 2 didn't really need a big announcement, it's the FA Cup so of course they will be on TV. I agree with the Leeds game (assuming they get through) being on but there are far better matches than any of the potential Man Utd ones.

They are a big club too. Probably the biggest

Massive. Premier League in all but league they play in. :thumbsup:

But we've built them a nice shiny box. And give them complimentary pies.

We have been on a lot, and more than I'd like us to be. I love a good 3pm kick off on a saturday, I am delighted we've been overlooked.

I think ITV have seriously f***ed up by choosing Stoke v Man City for the Saturday midday match but may have done that as ESPN grabbed the Man United fixture as their primary game.

It is tough for them pre-replays.

There is no doubt that if it was Brighton v Arsenal vs West Ham v Blackpool, we would have been on. But they have to gamble.

Personally I would have gambled on Arsenal beating Swansea, because if it comes off it is a better tie than at least three of those. I'd give the Chelsea one and Oldham Liverpool the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe it's a backhanded compliment, and losing to us isn't a shock :)

I don't like the bias towards Man u and Leeds but on this occasion what other games would make good TV
Our game looks good plus Norwich v Luton in my view would be better than Man City for a start


Crystal Palace/Stoke V Man City
Bolton/Sunderland V Everton
Brighton V Swansea/Arsenal
Derby V Blackburn
Huddersfield V Leicester
Hull/Leyton Orient V Barnsley
Macclesfield V Wigan/Bournemouth
Middlesbrough V Aldershot
Norwich V Luton
QPR/West Brom V Sheff Weds/Milton Keynes Dons
Reading V Sheff Utd
West Ham/Man Utd V Fulham/Blackpool
Millwall v Aston Villa
Liverpool v Oldham
S.end/Brentford v Chelsea
