What time and channel is the FA Cup fourth round draw? TV info, ball numbers and more as fixtures decided

The FA Cup fourth round draw takes place this evening as the competition begins to heat up.

Ireland youngster Adam Idah stole the show last weekend as he scored a hat-trick for Norwich against Preston on his cup debut.

There were a few mini-shocks too as Brighton lost at home to Sheffield Wednesday and Tranmere came back from three goals down to draw with Watford.

And Liverpool rested most of their star names but their young guns came good to beat Merseyside rivals Everton.
