Dan Walker and guests look ahead to the weekend's football action, with the attention on the FA Cup.
The FA Cup is now at the fourth-round stage where, last year, League Two side Notts County knocked out Premier League Wigan while Stoke put out 10-time FA Cup winners Arsenal.
In Scotland, it's the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup with Celtic playing Aberdeen today and Rangers meeting Motherwell tomorrow.

John Inverdale presents highlights of the women's singles final at the Australian Open.
The first Grand Slam of the year is usually the hardest to predict, and even more so this year in Melbourne, with defending champion Serena Williams absent through injury.
Last year, the American beat Justine Henin in the final, ending the Belgian's hopes of a fairytale start to her comeback from retirement.

Jonathan Edwards introduces live athletics coverage from Glasgow, where teams from the USA, Germany and Sweden and a Commonwealth Select squad will be taking on some of Britain's finest athletes as part of the build-up to the European Indoor Championships in Paris in March.
One of the highlights of the meeting at Kelvin Hall will be the first appearance of the season of world and European heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis, who will be competing in the 60m hurdles and the long jump. In the hurdles, she will once again come up against world indoor champion Lolo Jones, whom she beat at this venue in a British record time 12 months ago.
The men's hurdles should also be a fascinating race, with European and Commonwealth champion Andy Turner challenging American star David Oliver. Others pulling on the GB vest in Glasgow include sprinter Mark Lewis-Francis, whose two medals at the Commonwealth Games suggest he could be nearing his best again.

C³ÉÈËÂÛ̳'s dynamic duo Dick and Dom dish up another helping of the cream of the British comedy crop. This week, former EastEnders villain Tracy Ann Oberman drops in to their comedy club as the star guest.
The Rootin' Tootin' Cowboys show off their knowledge of the most unlikely of subject matters – and even more unlikely celebrity friends using some "rootin' tootin' cotton pickin' high falutin' word ranglin' adjective stringin' descriptions". The show visits Baldilocks – a very special hairdressers for men of a certain age who are "follically challenged". And Big Game Hunters follows two moustachioed hunters in deepest Africa whose moustache envy leads them on a very strange hunt.
As well as the action on stage another group of animals get to pitch their animal-friendly products to the furry entrepreneurs in Animal's Den, The Wrestlers limber up for another bout with Dick and Dom and the 40-Year-Old Scout is still desperately trying to secure all his badges so he can leave the scout group.
There is another lesson in the art of slapstick in the History Of Comedy video and, rounding off the show, Abandoman puts his finely honed rapping skills to use in the big finale as he raps lyrical about Tracy Ann.
