Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal FA Cup date & kick-off time confirmed as TV bosses scent shock

The date of Nottingham Forest's FA Cup tie with Arsenal has been confirmed - and it will be live on TV.

The Reds will host Mikel Arteta's Gunners in the third round of the competition at the City Ground on Sunday, January 9.

And TV bosses must scent the possibility of a Cup shock too, because the match will be screened live on ITV, with a 5:15pm kick-off.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa and West Ham United v Leeds United are among the other third round ties picked for television coverage.

Steve Cooper's Forest will be hoping for a repeat of the club's FA Cup heroics against Arsenal in January 2018, when they sent them crashing out of the competition 4-2.

Eric Lichaj (two), Ben Brereton and Kieran Dowell were all on target on that memorable day.
