There will also be highlights of Aston Villa v Manchester United.
40x24 - 14th January 2004: FA Cup Third Round Replays
January 14, 2004
FA Cup third-round replay highlights as clubs chase a place in the last 32 to keep alive their dreams of playing in the final.
40x25 - 24th January 2004: FA Cup Fourth Round: Liverpool v Newcastle United

Coverage from Anfield of an FA Cup fourth-round clash between two top teams who usually produce a goal glut.
