The draw for round four of the Emirates FA Cup is set to take place on Sunday afternoon following the Blues’ third round tie against Bristol Rovers at Portman Road (KO 3pm).

BBC One will be showing the draw live at around 5pm at the end of the Arsenal-Manchester United tie. If the game goes to extra-time - with no replays in the competition this year after the qualifying rounds - then it will be put back until after the conclusion of the match.

The draw will be presented by Kelly Somers with Martin Keown and Mark Schwarzer selecting the balls. Town and the League One Pirates will be ball number 30.

Fourth round matches will be played over the weekend of Saturday 8th February.

BobbyBell added 14:31 - Jan 9 As much as I'd love a cup run I just don't want us risking injuries or suspensions with our best players. So how about Muric, Clarke, Townsend, Godfrey, Burgess, Luongo, Phillips, Burns, Taylor, Clarke & Szmodics. Maybe Philogene if he signs in time, to get him some minutes.

Really unconcerned with round 4 until we win in round 3, but i would like us to play a good side, and I would stick with 343 so we are more used to it, even though ive shown it as a 523 you get the picture

With players coming in and likely departures I would go

Slicker
Harry Clark (RWB), Wolfy, Godfrey, Burgess and Jack Clarke (LWB)
Phillips and Taylor
Burns Al Hamedi and Broadhead

It will be interesting to see if Jack Clarke can play in the Leif role, he needs minutes and Im convinced he is a really good player.
Some of that side, Ali Harry, Wolfy, Nathan and even Wes are either going to find it tough to get a game soon or have been rumoured to be off in the window, so a big finale sunday might just be a chance for us to see them one last time ??

BobbyBell added 13:20 - Jan 10 Bazza8564 I know 3 centre backs is our new option in the Premier league but do you think we need to do that at home to Bristol Rovers? I'd rather see us on the front foot with the extra attacking option.
