Don't know how many matches are moved for tv, but I'd hazard a guess both Arse v Utd and "them" v Spuds are nailed on tv games?

Obviously still working out which games will be shown at prime time in Shanghai.

• Norwich City or Southampton v Arsenal (5.30pm) – BT Sport 2

Sunday 29 January
• Millwall v Watford (12.00pm) – BBC One
• Sutton United or AFC Wimbledon v Leeds United (2.00pm) – BT Sport 2

Crikey. Think ours could be an attractive one of six if they do the same this year then. 4th in Championship, score goals for fun, away at 13th in Premier League - possible upset?

Let's hope but wasn't the Bournemouth KO time changed later on ?

Yes, I think there were only about seven 3pm Saturday matches last round. Quite possibly due to the FA using VAR for every game. There's only so many games the referees can watch at any given time from their studio.

It was because of the new FA overseas TV deal. Nothing to do with VAR

Good news. Now lets just hope the club price it sensibly AND open all parts of the ground straight away.

So why is the proportion of 3pm Saturday games so much higher in 4th round than 3rd? Surely TV deal dictates similar proportion each round? This round looks far more like a traditional 4th round programme.
