Coronation Street viewers can expect major changes to their normal TV schedule from this week.
ITV has announced it will continue its coverage of the 2022 Emirates FA Cup with four live matches in the fourth round of the competition, meaning that the soaps will be cancelled or moved.
The broadcaster said a "packed weekend of action begins on the evening of Friday February 4" as they kick off with Manchester United taking on Middlesbrough.

Other matches the broadcaster will air include Tottenham v Brighton on ITV 4 on Saturday February 5, and Liverpool v Cardiff on ITV at midday on February 6.
The shake up will last from January 31 until February 4 and as far as we know, normal schedules will resume the following week.
Coronation Street changes
Coronation Street generally airs two half-an-hour episodes at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays and one episode on Fridays.
But, the general episode on Friday will booted off air on February 4 to make way for the football match instead.
In light of the Friday absence, viewers will be getting extra helpings of the dramatic soap throughout this week.
To make up for the Friday night absence, ITV have planned to air an hour-long episode on Tuesday February 1 and two half-an-hour episodes on Wednesday February 2.
There will be no changes to tonight's Monday episode and it will air as usual with two half-an-hour episodes.
Dancing On Ice airs Sundays at 6pm on ITV and ITV Hub
