Manchester United’s fourth round F.A Cup clash with Spurs has been selected as one of five ties to be broadcast live on the box. The game will still take place on Saturday, January 24th – but the kick-off time has been put back until 5.15pm to accommodate the ITV Sport cameras. As a result, United and Spurs will both pocket £160,000 from the FA's Broadcast Fund.

Derby County's clash with rivals Nottingham Forest is the first of five ties to be screened - shown on Setanta on the Friday evening.

West Ham's trip to Hartlepool will be shown on ITV before the United game on Saturday, with Setanta set to broadcast Cardiff City's encounter with Arsenal and the Merseyside derby on Sunday.

All clubs being shown on TV pick up a cheque for £160k.
