Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham will all have their FA Cup third round fixtures on television in early January, broadcasters have confirmed.

West Ham’s first London Stadium FA Cup game against Manchester City was one of the stand-out ties of Monday’s draw and has been selected by BBC for live coverage on Friday January 6, with kick-off scheduled for 7:55pm.

The rearranged fixture means both West Ham and Manchester City will have a packed fixture list, with games on December 31, January 2 and January 6.

BBC One will also show Tottenham’s third round tie at home to Aston Villa, which has been moved to Sunday January 8.

BT Sport have selected four FA Cup ties for their schedule and will continue Manchester United’s 54 game streak of televised fixtures in the competition when they play Reading at Old Trafford. The match has been scheduled by 12:30pm on Saturday January 7.

Later that day BT Sport 2 will show Arsenal’s visit to Preston North End, where kick-off is scheduled for 5:30pm.
