Seven FA Cup fourth round matches will be broadcast by either BT Sport or the BBC between Friday 24 January and Monday 27 January.

The action kicks off on Friday evening as League Two side Northampton Town host Derby County, before the BBC and BT Sport between them air two games on Saturday, three on Sunday and one on Monday evening.

Arsenal and Chelsea have seen the timing of their matches moved to accommodate the television schedule, and Chelsea fans now face a 5:30pm kick off against Hull City on Saturday while the Gunners travel to the south coast on Monday evening for an 8pm clash with Bournemouth.

Both sets of away fans will struggle to sort travel arrangements, as the final train leaves Bournemouth for London Waterloo shortly after full-time at 10:12pm, while King’s Cross is closed for the weekend – causing havoc for Chelsea fans travelling back from Humberside.

Clubs involved in matches selected for television receive a broadcast fee of £150,000, while each side who progresses to the fifth round is awarded £180,000.
