Manish Bhasin is joined by Mark Lawrenson and Lee Dixon on a special day in the football calendar.

It is the third round of the FA Cup, which marks the arrival of the top two divisions into the famous knockout competition. The "big four" clubs have all been paired with lower league opposition, so there will be plenty of fans harbouring dreams of a famous giant-killing. Non-league Histon, who upset Leeds United in the second round, will be aiming to do the same to Championship side Swansea, while Barrow travel to Middlesbrough.

There is also a look back on the key action from the hectic festive schedule of fixtures in the Premier League. And there is a full league programme in Scotland: Celtic host Dundee United in the SPL, while Hearts and Hibernian meet in the Edinburgh derby at Tynecastle. Show less
