Five FA Cup ties have been selected for live television coverage when the Third Round Proper takes place early next month.
It had already been confirmed that the north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur would be shown live on ITV on Saturday 4 January.
And Manchester City’s short trip to Blackburn Rovers will also be screened live on the same day, kicking-off at 12.45pm on BT Sport.
There are a further three televised games on Sunday 5 January, starting at midday on ITV when Championship high-fliers Nottingham Forest host West Ham United.
BT Sport will then show Derby County’s tie with Chelsea, which kicks-off at 2.15pm before it's over to Old Trafford for the tie between Manchester United v Swansea City.
The FA’s live broadcast fee in this round is £144,000 per club, on top of the £67,500 FA Cup prize fund payment.
