Manchester United are in line to be selected for the FA Cup’s televised matches for the 59th time in succession this week.

Broadcasters BT Sport and BBC are deciding which matches to show live after several excitable third-round ties were pulled out of the hat, including Liverpool v Everton.

A 0-0 draw with Exeter in January 2005 was the last time a United FA Cup tie was not shown live on TV, with the replay in Devon starting their run.

Manchester United's FA Cup third round tie against Derby is expected to be shown on TV

Insiders expect United’s clash with Derby in the next round to be chosen for TV and an announcement will follow in the coming days.

Holders Arsenal are away at Nottingham Forest while Brighton will face Crystal Palace at the Amex Stadium in the M23 derby. Middlesbrough and Sunderland will also meet.

There are also three non-League sides still in the competition, though they are all involved in replays. The third-round ties will take place on the weekend of January 6 and 7, 2018.
