FA Cup fourth round schedule and scores

This weekend the FA Cup will be whittled down to a final 16.

We're at the stage of the season in which FA Cup weekends come thick and fast, and Friday marks the start of the fourth round of this year's edition. It kicks off with the lowest-ranked team left in the tournament taking on one of the highest, as Cambridge United welcome Manchester United to the Abbey Stadium. A giantkilling looks unlikely, though if United play as poorly as they did against Yeovil in the last round, you never know.

The pick of Saturday's action sees Chelsea host lower-league Bradford City at Stamford Bridge, while Manchester City could very realistically fall victim to the Championship high-flyers Middlesbrough at the Etihad Stadium. There are also a couple of all-Premier League ties to keep an eye on: Southampton host Crystal Palace, while Leicester travel to Spurs.

The biggest team in action on Sunday is Arsenal, who travel away to the second-tier's South Coast strugglers Brighton & Hove Albion. The round comes to an end on Monday, when Rochdale will look to upset Stoke City at Spotland.
