The FA Cup TV fixtures and dates are all set with Manchester City welcoming underdog heroes Plymouth Argyle for a Saturday evening showdown.
After a thrilling fourth round, the action-packed matches are scheduled from February 28 to March 3, featuring several televised clashes. The excitement kicks off on Friday and rolls through the weekend to Monday, starting with Aston Villa facing Cardiff City in a Friday night fixture.
Defending holders Manchester United will strut their stuff on Sunday, squaring off against Fulham in what's expected to be a heated rematch of last season's contentious encounter. ITV and BBC are splitting the coverage, with City's match airing on ITV and United's game broadcast by the Beeb.
ITV is also set to showcase two other top-tier Premier League matchups, while the BBC's line-up includes an enticing London derby as Crystal Palace take on Millwall. Plymouth's stunning 1-0 triumph over current Premier League frontrunners Liverpool was the standout shocker of the fourth round, as Ryan Hardie netted the decisive goal, reports the Mirror.
