I'd add Chelsea to that list.Where can you get a genuine quality striker in the January window? Answer: you can't.
Three clubs have got a clear striker problem — Spurs, United, Arsenal. The Werner recruitment looks like sheer desperation, if it's true.
But the FA saying specifically the 27th/28th, can't see it being on Friday. ITV will also want highest viewing figures, which probably isn't Friday.Friday night 8pm kick off, on Itv,apparently.

Who I forgot was playing when we met RB Leipzig in the CL this season ;-)But they may have Timo "Goal Machine" Werner.
Did they specify 4th/8th upfront for the round just gone? Cos if not, it’s just a guide at this stage I’d assume.But the FA saying specifically the 27th/28th, can't see it being on Friday. ITV will also want highest viewing figures, which probably isn't Friday.
Their 3rd round draw artlicle said "The 32 third round proper ties will take place across the weekend of Saturday and Sunday 6 and 7 January."Did they specify 4th/8th upfront for the round just gone? Cos if not, it’s just a guide at this stage I’d assume.
Agreed pal.Their 3rd round draw artlicle said "The 32 third round proper ties will take place across the weekend of Saturday and Sunday 6 and 7 January."
This round says "The fourth round ties will be scheduled across the weekend of Saturday 27 January"
I don't think that rules out Friday personally.

I'd agree - but the previous poster is saying its specifically Saturday & Sunday.Friday to Monday is what they mean
For me Steve Mackenzies goal was the best by a country mile.

OK, take your point.Friday to Monday is what they mean
United or Liverpool like they always do.OK, take your point.
But if you look at the ties that can feature prem teams that can be played on Sunday (due to prem matches on Tuesday), you have:
Bournemouth v Swansea City
West Brom v Brentford or Wolves
West Ham or Bristol City v Nottingham Forest or Blackpool
Liverpool v Norwich City or Bristol Rovers
Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City
Newport County or Eastleigh v Manchester United
Who do you think they'll pick for Sunday?
I personally think it will be sunday too, but your logic doesnt work, ITV have first pick and if they want it played in the friday TV slot thats when we will play.OK, take your point.

"Shoot that poisoned arrow through my heart" !!Bit of a bummer if it’s on the Friday night. I probably wasn’t going but started to fancy it as it should be a mint atmosphere if nearly 9000 blues are in attendance. However, Friday rules me out of even catching it on TV as I’m watching ABC at the Bridgewater Hall that night.
