The FA Cup fourth round will kick off with Manchester United facing Leicester City in a highly anticipated fixture. The holders, who defeated Arsenal on penalties in the previous round, will welcome the Foxes, who dispatched Championship side Queens Park Rangers with ease.

This tie stands out as one of the highlights of the fourth round, following the draw made at the Emirates Stadium last weekend. Ruud van Nistelrooy, a former Manchester United player and briefly their manager this season, will return to Old Trafford for this encounter. The match is set to air live on ITV1 at 8pm GMT on Friday, 7th February.

Last year’s runners-up, Manchester City, will also feature in live TV coverage when they travel to London to face League One side Leyton Orient. This match will be broadcast on BBC One at 12:15pm GMT on Saturday, 8th February.

Chelsea, drawn against Premier League rivals Brighton & Hove Albion, will play their match at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, 8th February, at 8pm GMT. The game will be televised on ITV4. The Blues are scheduled to return to the Amex a week later for a league fixture.

Sunday, 9th February, features two key fixtures. Liverpool, currently leading the Premier League, will visit Championship side Plymouth Argyle at Home Park. The Reds will aim to avoid an upset in a match that will be shown on ITV1 at 3pm GMT. Later, at 5:35pm GMT, Aston Villa will host Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park. Villa, who eliminated West Ham in the previous round, will look to continue their impressive FA Cup run. This clash will air live on BBC One.

Live television coverage of the fourth round concludes on Monday, 10th February, with Nottingham Forest visiting League One side Exeter City. The match will be shown on ITV1 at 7:45pm GMT.

Several notable ties, including an all-Premier League clash between Everton and Bournemouth, as well as all-Championship fixtures Leeds United vs Millwall and Stoke City vs Cardiff City, have not been selected for live broadcast in the UK.
