Town WILL NOT be one of the games picked by btsport or the Beeb. Maybe if we'd been at home there may have been an outside chance. But, manure are always on the box so that's one less game
am presuming Chelsea as holders will be on.
Wolves v Liverpool will be another
Woking v Watford
Tranmere/southport v Tottenham

I'd pick the same ones as you Rob.  

I'd love us to get picked, but think our league position (despite recent improvement) will mean it'll still be seen as a bit of a mismatch but not enough of a "romance" clash either.  The top game on your list, to broadcasters, at least has a lower league team who are going well at the top of their league so will be viewed as a better match-up.

Maybe not.
Last season's tie against Derby was not televised breaking a 13yr run.

Manure will be on, unless they have won the previous few games, as tv will hope to see Mourhinio come undone.

Are the BBC doing a final score programme again on the Sunday, ?

If they are we might be on that again,

BUT

We will not be a live game.

I think they do it during Round 1 and 2, but from 3 onwards it's full live games. Might be wrong but that's what happened last 2 years.

Wolves v Liverpool and Brighton v Bournemouth will definitely be on, because they'll be so different from the usual Premier League matches they show won't they.

The arsenal and spurs games are guaranteed, great ties. Not much else stands out, although Bournemouth Brighton would really be scraping the barrel!

Think Lincoln are nailed on for it with their recent history. Hope ours is 3pm Saturday to be honest - we’ve got a good chance of being first on MOTD if us and Palace continue in our respective form!

BBC will be kicking themselves if Palace are the first Premiership team knocked out-I can feel it in my waters.

Friday, January 4: Tranmere Rovers or Southport vs Tottenham (BT Sport 2 - 7.45pm)

Saturday, January 5: Manchester United vs Reading (BT Sport 2 - 12.30pm)

Saturday, January 5: Solihull Moors or Blackpool vs Arsenal (BT Sport 2 - 5.30pm)

Sunday, January 6: Woking vs Watford (BT Sport 2 - 2pm)

Sunday, January 6: Wrexham or Newport County vs Leicester City (BBC One - 4.30pm)

Monday, January 7: Wolves vs Liverpool (BBC One - 7.45pm)

Here's what I said (first 6):

Everton v Lincoln
Tranmere or Southport v Tottenham
Chelsea v Nottingham Forest
Wrexham or Newport v Leicester
Solihull Moors or Blackpool v Arsenal
Woking v Watford

4 out of 6 right
Man Utd v Reading instead of Chelsea v Nottingham Forest!
Wolves vs Liverpool instead of Everton v Lincoln
