No TV coverage for the FA Cup Third Round

The Football Association announced some bad news for Gooners today when they announced three of the four televised FA Challenge Cup Third Round games today:

Three of the four TV ties in the Third Round of The FA Cup have been named and they all see Premiership giants take on lower division clubs away from home.

The round's most romantic game, Yeading against Newcastle United at Loftus Road, will be screened live on the BBC at 1.45pm on Sunday 9 January.

Merseyside rivals Liverpool and Everton will also feature in live matches against Championship opposition.

The Reds travel to Turf Moor to take on Burnley on Friday 7 January - that tie will be broadcast on Sky Sports at 7.45pm, while the Toffees make the long trip south to Plymouth Argyle for a 5.30pm kick off on Saturday 8 January. The fixture at Home Park will be live on the BBC.

The last selection, which will be a BBC tie, will be confirmed later this week, once the Second Round proper replays are completed.

All clubs who feature in live matches in the Third Round will each receive a GBP150,000 payment from The FA's competition broadcast fund.

Burnley v Liverpool, kick-off 7.45pm

Saturday 8 January 2005 - BBC
Plymouth Argyle v Everton, kick-off 5.30pm

Sunday 9 January 2005 - BBC
