Everton v Manchester United
Two North West rivals with a renowned FA Cup pedigree vie for supremacy in this eagerly awaited all-Premiership fifth-round tie (kick-off 5.30).
The last two FA Cup meetings between these two sides have been finals, with Manchester Utd winning in 1985 and Everton lifting the trophy a decade on. Fans' emotions will be running particularly high tonight - former Toffees wunderkind Wayne Rooney is set to return to Goodison Park for the first time since joining Alex Ferguson 's side last summer. Who will make it through to Monday's quarter-final draw?
Presented by Gary Lineker and Alan Hansen , with Peter Reid and Peter Schmeichel (who reappears at 120am). John Motson and Mark Lawrenson commentate.

A Valentine's party ends in horror for Bex. Meanwhile, the net closes in on Ellen.

Medical Drama: Casualty 8.10pm BBC1
The usual welter of disparate cases faces the Holby staff this week, from a young man with serious injuries after being trapped under a car, to a girl fighting for her life after an allergic reaction.
As usual, though, the medical personnel are more wrapped up in their own emotional predicaments. Daft Bex (Sarah Manners) is moping around after ex-boyfriend Pete, and attends a Valentine's Day ball in the hope of erasing him from her memory. Unfortunately, as luck would have it, she bumps into Pete on the dance floor (as you do). The evening doesn't end happily.
Abs, meanwhile, continues to needle dim Ellen, who's up to her ears in trouble, though he takes a little time to meddle in a pregnant teenager's personal life, jumping to the wrong conclusion in the process.
