The TV selections for the FA Cup fourth round weekend have been confirmed, with several of the Premier League's top teams selected for coverage.

The games will take place on the weekend of February 7-11, will last five days and will feature 32 teams and 16 matches.

Several top Premier League teams remain involved after an action-packed third round weekend which ended just a few days ago, with Manchester City and Liverpool among the favorites to lift the trophy at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Manchester United will also be hoping to triumph as defending champions, having beaten Arsenal on penalties in the last round.

They faced Leicester in a clash that will see Rudd van Nistelrooy make a swift return to Old Trafford, having left his role as assistant manager at United before taking charge of the Foxes earlier this season.

That match will be broadcast live on ITV on Friday, February 7, beginning the weekend before Manchester City begin Saturday action.
