Derby County's East Midlands clash with Nottingham Forest will kick-off the weekend of FA Cup fourth round action on Friday, 23 January at 1945 GMT live on television.

Hartlepool United's reward for knocking out Premier League Stoke City is their fourth round tie against West Ham United which will be screened live on terrestrial television on 1240 GMT on Saturday, 24 January.

Manchester United's all Premier League tie with Tottenham Hotspur is the Saturday evening live game on 1715 GMT.

Cardiff City's FA Cup fourth-round tie with Arsenal will also be broadcast live. The clash between last season's FA Cup finalists and four-times winners Arsenal has been moved to Sunday, 25 January and will kick off at 1330 GMT.

The Merseyside derby will follow the Ninian Park clash as Liverpool host Everton, who have won 12 FA Cups between them, will also be screened live at 1600 GMT on Sunday.

TV money is significant for the smaller sides, as each team involved in a televised game will receive £160,000 which is more than twice the "success payment" of £75,000 that they received from the English FA for winning their 3rd round ties.
