According to....http://www.livesoccertv.com/schedules/2016-01-30/ I'll be using my imagination as the match won't be televised. I can somewhat understand why Arsenal v Burnely would be televised but have no idea why "the 'mouth derby" Portsmouth v Bournemouth and Nott Forrest v Watford would be televised instead of City v Villa. Seeing as how they are both PL teams with large followings, I would think City v Villa would get more eyeballs than those two matches. Especially with the global interest City have been picking up in recent years. But what do I know? Anybody have any info on which matches get picked and why?

Over here in the NFL they occasionally "blackout" (don't televise) games which don't sell out. I'm guessing this is not the case with the FA Cup and it's more of a "let everyone get their turn on TV" type thing. But again what do i know?

I see no logic actually other than for some reason to avoid showing City FA Cup games. Here's what we'll have on TV in the US, 8 games overall:

Friday, January 29

Derby County vs. Manchester United (FA Cup 4th Round), 2:55pm, FOX Sports 1 and FOX Soccer 2Go

Saturday, January 30

Colchester United vs. Spurs (FA Cup 4th Round), 7:45am, FOX Sports 1, FOX Deportes and FOX Soccer 2Go
Arsenal vs. Burnley (FA Cup 4th Round), 10am, FOX Sports 1, FOX Deportes and FOX Soccer 2Go
Nottingham Forest vs. Watford (FA Cup 4th Round), FOX Soccer Plus and FOX Soccer 2Go
Portsmouth vs. Bournemouth (FA Cup 4th Round), Noon, FOX Soccer Plus and FOX Soccer 2Go
Liverpool vs. West Ham United (FA Cup 4th Round), 12:30pm, FOX Sports 2, FOX Deportes and FOX Soccer 2Go

Sunday, January 31

Carlisle United vs. Everton (FA Cup 4th Round), 8:30am, FOX Sports 2 and FOX Soccer 2Go
MK Dons vs. Chelsea (FA Cup 4th Round), 11am, FOX Sports 1 and FOX Soccer 2Go
 
I think aguero starts because aguero and pelle seem to think that the best way for him to not get injured is to keep playing and then when he starts to rest then after the rest he gets injured.

I'd play Sagna but not to many changes as I'm always wary of villa especially after the 0-0

Nacho must start as well really want to see him again, I wouldn't be suprised if he's in our best 11 in the next 2-3 months as I think we look better attacking wise when he's on with aguero
 
Aguero is on fire and won't want a rest. I think we'll dick these this time.
Kun to come off after an hour with a brace.
0 - 4, lovely!
 
Surely one of the youngsters will get a start, Kelechi for sure, but Angelino should be given a chance. Otherwise you have to wonder what's the point.
 
Just spoke to the Officer in charge at the stadium and he has told me to approach the stadium off junction 7 of the M6, follow the A34 to the Alexander stadium where police outriders will be waiting to escort us to the ground, this is for minibuses and coaches. This is due to heavy roadworks on the normal approach.
 
Let's not treat the game like an away tie to Barca and go for it. No replays.

Hart

Sagna Demi Otty Kol

Dinho Delph

Navas Nacho Sterling/Silva

Aguero
