      Four of the eight last-16 ties are on ITV – either their main channel or on ITV4, with each available on the ITVX hub online.
      City travel to Ashton Gate in a repeat of the 2017-18 Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday 28 February.
      Pep Guardiola’s men saw off Arsenal in the previous round, thanks to Nathan Ake’s winner.
      The Robins under Nigel Pearson, meanwhile, thumped West Brom 3-0 to reach the FA Cup for the third time in five seasons – after failing to get that far for 18 years.
      Then the following night West Ham head to Old Trafford to take on an in-form Red Devils side who may have ended their seven-year wait for a trophy just three days earlier at Wembley.
      United beat Reading in round four thanks to two goals from Casemiro and a third from fellow Brazil midfielder Fred.
      However, the victory came at a cost because Andy Carroll’s wild challenge on Christian Eriksen damaged ligaments in the Dane’s ankle.
      He looks set to be out for at least three months – until the beginning of May – and will be a cruel miss for Erik ten Hag as United battle on four fronts.

      ITV also have the rights to Stoke v Brighton on Tuesday 28 and Southampton v Luton or Grimsby on Wednesday 1.
      It means the two of the other fifth-round ties will be available on the BBC.
      Fulham or Sunderland’s home clash with Leeds will be on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Tuesday 28.
      And then Tottenham’s trip to face either Wrexham or Sheffield United takes place on the same channel 24 hours later.
      It means Leicester vs Blackburn and Ipswich Town or Burnley vs Sheffield Wednesday or Fleetwood are the two games not live on TV.
      Four of the fourth-round replays will take place next Tuesday before Sunderland host Fulham on Wednesday. More

      Tommy Fury says he never watches Love Island and has not even seen series he starred in with girlfriend Molly-Mae

      by

      TOMMY FURY revealed he never watches Love Island – and has not even seen the series he starred in alongside girlfriend Molly-Mae. The unbeaten boxer – brother to heavyweight legend Tyson – went into the hit ITV series in 2019.

      He came runner-up with now partner Molly-Mae, with the happy couple now expecting their first child together.
      But Fury admitted he is not exactly a big fan of the show, either before or after his successful stint, but credits it for building his career.
      He said in an interview with Tom Moore: “I never watched Love Island before doing it and I’ve not watched it since, didn’t even watch my own series back.
      “But it was one of those things, Love Island has given me the platform of a world champion already.

      “It put me out there, it helped me step out the shoes of being Tyson’s little brother, which was all I was called growing up, which isn’t a bad thing.
      “It’s amazing to be related to the best fighter there’s ever been, in my opinion. So that was amazing but it helped born me.
      “Everybody knows me now for Tommy Fury and what I’m like and my own personality.”
      Fury went into the villa as a 2-0 boxer and has since added six more wins to his record.

      Over the last two years, he has been linked with a massive celebrity grudge match against YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul.
      He was forced to twice pull out of their first two scheduled fights after suffering a rib injury and US visa issue.
      But the two are set to announce the latest rehashed date of February 25 in Saudi Arabia.
      And Fury, 23, said he will focus on a traditional path to boxing titles after a quick cash grab bout with Paul, 26.
      He said: “All I see with Jake Paul is a business.
      “If you want me to beat a man that can’t fight and throw millions of pounds in my face, no problem, sign me up.
      “I describe it all the time as being on route 66, I need to stop off and fill my camper van up and get back on the road.
      “I am on a straight and narrow road to world titles but you want me to take a slight detour for an awful lot of fuel, pick that up and jump back on the road.

      “And that’s all I’m doing here. It is a business at the end of the day, you’ve gotta to use your head and every fighter in my position would take that fight if it got offered to them.”

      UK broadcast outlets reportedly agree deal with Fifa to televise this year’s Women’s World Cup

      by

      AN agreement to air this year’s Women’s World Cup on television in the UK is thought to have been reached, according to reports.  This comes just over six months after the launch of Fifa’s tender process for the sale of tournament media rights to UK broadcasters.  
      A deal to air this year’s Women’s World Cup matches on UK television has reportedly been agreed between Fifa and broadcastersCredit: Reuters
      It is reported the deal could see the BBC and ITV share coverage of the tournament’s games including matches involving the LionessesCredit: Prime Media
      Earlier this week The Independent reported a deal was still outstanding with sources informing the paper that offers from UK channels were “lowballing Fifa”.
      Talks were also said to still be ongoing. 
      Today the Daily Mail reports a “major breakthrough” has been reached in regard to the contest being aired on national television. 
      It is claimed an agreement is expected to be confirmed and publicised in the near future. 
      Read More Football Stories
      And it also thought the deal could potentially see coverage shared by BBC, who along with Sky Sports broadcast Women’s Super League games, and ITV. 
      This year’s World Cup will take place a year after the Euros hosted in England with the Lionesses and their rivals pulling in record stadium crowds and television viewers. 
      Last July’s Euros final, broadcast on BBC One and won by Sarina Wiegman’s players at Wembley, was watched by a peak TV audience of 17.4 million viewers. 
      The viewing figures made it the most watched women’s football match in the history of UK television and the most-viewed TV event of last year. 
      Most read in Football
      And in December the FA revealed 23.3million people watched the final on TV or online. 
      Last summer’s Euros attracted record numbers of television viewersCredit: PA
      It is hoped England’s success at last year’s Euros will lead to high numbers of viewers of the World Cup in July and August with the Lionesses and the Republic of Ireland among the 32 sides competing. 
      Due to the time difference between the UK and the World Cup’s hosts Australia and New Zealand, England’s matches will be taking place when many viewers will be asleep or out at work. 
      However, with tournament timing coinciding with the school holidays, coverage of matches could see younger audiences engaged with rising interest in the game amongst girls as well as women. More

      Ex-England star Jermain Defoe is ‘dating Love Island wannabe just weeks after collapse of his marriage’

      by

      FORMER footballer Jermain Defoe is dating a Love Island wannabe weeks after his marriage collapsed, it has been reported. The ex England star, 40, has been secretly seeing influencer Alisha LeMay, 31, who was tipped for the ITV dating show in 2019.

      The influencer has posted pictures in several exotic locationsCredit: Instagram/@alishalemayx
      Defoe was pictured without his wedding ring while on holiday in St Lucia
      And he was pictured leaving her home in Harlow, Essex, on Thursday morning. Alisha went to the front door in her brown dressing gown as he left.
      Meanwhile, Defoe wore a blue puffer jacket over a hooded top, designer ripped jeans and black trainers. He also had a Stetson hat and moustache.
      He climbed into his Range Rover before driving away as Alisha waved him off smiling.
      She then walked to her Land Rover Defender to pick up a bag from posh Selfridges, where she used to work as a personal shopper.
      READ MORE ON DEFOE
      TV football pundit Defoe was back again in the evening and drove off again the following morning.
      Sources told the MailOnline he had been a “regular visitor” in the past few weeks. They have also been seen in a nearby cafe.
      Alisha has posted glamorous photos from exotic locations including Jamaica, Ibiza, Paris and Capri in Italy on her social media.
      When she was rumoured to be on Winter’s Love Island, a source said: “Alisha is exactly the type of contestant ITV2 is looking for – she’s gorgeous, body confident and isn’t afraid to be herself.
      Most read in Football
      “She already works as an influencer and has collaborated with brands like PrettyLittleThing, Missguided and ASOS.
      “She’s an advocate of body positivity and often admits on her Instagram to never wanting to be perfect, which is an important message to young viewers of the show.”
      Last month Defoe sparked fears his marriage was in trouble after spending Christmas in the Caribbean while wife Donna stayed at home in Glasgow.
      The former Spurs and West Ham star, 40, was pictured without his wedding ring while Donna, also 40, has reverted to her maiden name of Tierney on social media and has unfollowed her hubby.
      Neither of them has posted about each other on social media for eight weeks.
      Both have removed Instagram images of the OK! magazine cover that featured their £200,000 wedding last June.
      The Sun on Sunday revealed Defoe had begged a nurse for sex just a month after getting married.
      A source said: “The marriage seems to be in trouble. You would think they would want to spend their first Christmas together as husband and wife but they haven’t so things aren’t looking at all good.”
      Defoe and Donna married at stately home Cliveden House, in Berkshire, in June last year.
      The lavish bash featured across 14 pages as well as the cover of OK! magazine later that month.
      But the £20,000 wedding has caused a riddle about whether it actually happened.
      The local register office has no record of him and his “bride” Donna Tierney legally getting married at the country house venue, which it normally would do.
      There is also no record of any marriage in Glasgow where they were living at the time on June 4 last year.
      A source said: “It’s all a mystery. They didn’t let the mag have their reporter and photographer at the wedding at Cliveden House.
      “Instead, they had their own photographer and sent them the pictures, and then subsequently gave an interview to a reporter.

      “But no one is aware of them actually getting married and there were no pictures in the magazine of anyone marrying them.”
      When The Sun approached Donna — who has removed the pics from her social media — and asked if they actually got wed, she said: “Of course we did. I’ve heard these rumours, I don’t know where they’ve come from.”

      by

      Love Island’s Twitter account posted his introduction video, with the caption, “Footballer Tom is ready to tackle the boys to get the girl of his dreams.”
      And even Macclesfield director of football Robbie Savage has backed the move, calling Clare “Mr Love Island”.
      The non-league club said in a statement: “Macclesfield FC can confirm that the Club have granted Tom Clare an extended period of leave in order to appear in this year’s Love Island competition.
      “Tom approached us with the request a number of weeks ago and we were happy to show the same loyalty that he has to us since becoming one of our first-ever signings back in 2021.

      “Despite the fact that we are disappointed to lose a player of Tom’s calibre for the foreseeable future, we also recognise the incredible opportunity that this represents for both him and his family on a personal level.
      “Tom remains very much part of our plans here at the Leasing.com Stadium and has expressed his unwavering desire to return to the Club after the show.
      “We wish Tom every success and look forward to welcoming him back to the Club in due course.”
      The move caused uproar online and so did Savage’s support of it.

      One said: “Absolutely embarrassing that you’re supporting this Robbie, the reality of football these days and the reality of men! F***king shit show.”
      Another added: “Football slips slowly further into the gutter… how is that commitment to your team asking for time out to go on a questionable reality show. Macclesfield fans should be fuming.”
      Clark becomes the latest footballer to join the show.
      Jamie Allen, 27, who played for Halifax and ex-Coventry City Under-18 player Reece Ford, 23, both starred.
      And so did Finn Tapp, 23, the former MK Dons academy star who won Love Island with partner Paige Turley.

      Thanks for joining me!
      At one stage it looked as if the conditions might be right for a famous giant killing but in the end Arsenal flexed their Premier League muscles and took control of the contest after the hour mark.
      The Gunners scored three goals in 13 second half minutes to take the game away from their League One opponents.  
      Before then, Oxford had caused Arsenal all sorts of problems, especially during the first half, by not allowing them any time on the ball and with a bit of quality up front they could have hurt their opponents.
      Next up for the U’s is a trip to Lancashire to face a Fleetwood Town side who are separated from them by goal difference alone.
      Arsenal progress into the fourth round where they will face Manchester City at the Etihad towards the end of January.
      For now though, the Gunners turn their attention to a North London showdown with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in a game where a victory for either side will put a big dent in their opponent’s season.   
      Following that, Mikel Arteta’s team will host the Premier League’s most in-form team, Manchester United.
      We will certainly learn a lot about this Arsenal team over the next few weeks.
      Until then all that’s left for me to say is thanks for joining me and I look forward to speaking to you next time!
      Karl Robinson
      The Oxford United head coach is feeling positive about what lies ahead for his team this season.
      We lost control of the game in the second half but my players did the football club proud.We do have good players and when we have our strongest team available we are exciting to watch. Karl Robinson ITV
      Impressive Oxford
      Karl Robinson’s side were impressive and certainly frustrated Arsenal, at least until the hour mark.
      In the end they just didn’t have the sort of quality in attacking areas that the Gunners were able to call upon.
      Oxford’s attention will now turn back to their league form where they need to find some consistency in results and performances.
      Arsenal fixtures
      Arsenal’s next five fixtures will go some way to proving whether they are good enough to be competing for the big honours come the end of the season.
      Mikel Arteta’s side face off against their North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday before games against Manchester United, Everton, Brentford and Manchester City.
      How they fare in those games will go some way to defining their season.

      Nketiah quotes
      Eddie Nketiah has been speaking to the media about his recent run of games after his two goals helped Arsenal progress into the next round.
      We knew it wasn’t going to be easy and we had to stay patient. Obviously every player wants to play and I just want to keep improving.Eddie NketiahITV
      Eddie Nketiah
      The Arsenal forward was handed a big new contract at the end of last season and he is starting to prove that it was money well spent for the North London club.
      While he would like to be considered as more than a back up, he has allowed Arsenal to navigate the absence of Gabriel Jesus without missing a beat.
      He scored two high quality goals tonight and will be full of confidence as a result.
      Match stats
      Arsenal run out as deserved winners in the end.

      Full Time: Oxford 0 – 3 Arsenal
      It’s all over at the Kassam Stadium.
      Arsenal go into the fourth round where they will face Manchester City at the Etihad.
      Stay with us for the post match reaction!
      Oxford 0 – 3 Arsenal
      90+1, Arsenal are just sitting off their opponents for the remaining couple of minutes.
      They know the job is done.
      Oxford 0 – 3 Arsenal
      90, Referee David Coote has decided that we’re going to play an additional two minutes here.
      Oxford 0 – 3 Arsenal
      87, The changes seem to have made all the difference for Arsenal here.
      They’ve been in total control of this match ever since Zinchenko and Xhaka entered the fray.
      Oxford 0 – 3 Arsenal
      85, Yet more bookkeeping for you!
      Johnson and Fleming are on for Oxford in place of McGuane and Brown.
      Phew! Everyone stay where they are for a few minutes please.
      Oxford 0 – 3 Arsenal
      81, Arteta makes another two changes.
      Ben White and Marquinhos have ben introduced as Tomiyasu and Fabio Vieira make way.
      Oxford 0 – 3 Arsenal
      80, A sign of rustiness on Emile Smith Rowe’s part perhaps as he wastes a good opportunity to score the Gunners’ fourth.
      Martinelli’s square ball finds him in acres of space inside the Oxford penalty area but his first touch lets him down and his shot eventually deflects wide for a corner.
      Oxford 0 – 3 Arsenal
      77, Karl Robinson makes two changes immediately after Arsenal score their third.
      Taylor and Bodin are off.
      Goodrham and O’Donkor are on.
      GOAL! Oxford 0 – 3 Arsenal
      76, Fantastic finish from Nektiah!
      The Arsenal forward is played in by Gabriel Martinelli but the finish from Nketiah is so cute.
      Nketiah just lifts the ball over the goalkeeper on the angle.
      Will he get his hat trick?

      Oxford 0 – 2 Arsenal
      74, Saka is down and receiving treatment from the Arsenal medical team.
      The Arsenal winger looks in some discomfort.
      Arteta is taking no chances and replaces him with Emile Smith-Rowe who comes on to make his first appearance in almost three months.
      GOAL! Oxford 0 – 2 Arsenal
      70, Nketiah doubles Arsenal’s lead!
      Oxford give the ball away cheaply in midfield and Vieira cleverly plays Nketiah in one-on-one with McGinty.
      The Arsenal forward touches the ball around the goalkeeper as he comes off his line and rolls the ball into the empty net.
      Game over for Oxford, surely?

      Oxford 0 – 1 Arsenal
      67, It looks an uphill battle for the home team now.
      But if Oxford can keep it to just one then they’ll fancy they can work one goalscoring opportunity for themselves before the full time whistle.
      GOAL! Oxford 0 – 1 Arsenal
      63, Elneny breaks the deadlock for the Gunners!
      A wicked delivery from a Fabio Vieira free-kick finds the unmarked Egyptian around five yards from goal.
      Elneny makes no mistake with his header as he directs it into the bottom corner, but to be honest he couldn’t really miss.

      Oxford 0 – 0 Arsenal
      60, Arteta makes two changes to his team as Xhaka and Zinchenko are introduced at the expense of Lokonga and Tierney.
      Karl Robinson also makes a change as Yanic-Sonny Wildschut comes on for Josh Murphy.
      Oxford 0 – 0 Arsenal
      58, A dangerous looking ball into the Arsenal box from Ciaron Brown looks like it’s going to drop right on the head of his teammate Sam Long but Gabriel just gets his head in there before the Oxford defender.
      Arteta has sent the Arsenal subs out to warm up.
      Oxford 0 – 0 Arsenal
      56, A corner kick for Arsenal from the far side almost finds its way straight into the Oxford goal.
      McGinty forces his way through a couple of Arsenal players to punch the ball away.
      Pressure building…

      Oxford 0 – 0 Arsenal
      54, Nketiah is making some good runs in behind the Oxford defence but none of his teammates have seen them.
      Tierney the guilty party this time.
      Oxford 0 – 0 Arsenal
      53, Whatever Mikel Arteta said to his team during the half time break, it hasn’t had the desired effect.
      The second half has taken on exactly the same pattern as the first 45.
