FA Cup fixtures today - your guide to Friday's games

The FA Cup third round did produce some interesting match-ups but it lacked a little of the competition's fabled magic.

However, the fourth round has some more intriguing ties, several of which will be played this Friday under the lights.

There will be two gargantuan battles to set up the weekend, including Manchester City's trip to eight-time winners Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea's mouth-watering encounter with high-flying Aston Villa.

Here is your guide to all four of Friday's FA Cup fixtures.

Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City will lock horns for the third time since Christmas this Friday, with the Sky Blues having won both previous meetings between the Championship duo. The most recent clash came last weekend, with last season's play-off finalists winning 2-1 at Hillsborough thanks to a brace from Ben Sheaf.

After a difficult start to the campaign, results have picked up for Wednesday since Danny Rohl's arrival in the dugout, the Owls hammering Cardiff City 4-0 in the FA Cup third round. Coventry enjoyed a similarly emphatic result in the last round, thrashing Oxford United 6-2.
