In the previous two rounds this season there have been five matches televised in total in the UK: three on setanta and two on ITV

so if that's the same this time the five televised ties should be:

Watford v Chelsea
Derby/Nottingham Forest v Manchester United
Liverpool/Everton v Doncaster/Aston Villa
Swansea City v Fulham
Sheffield United v Hull City

ahh yesss…memories of watching the draw on tele as a kid…today my 9 1/2year old son got to watch it on SelloTanta Sports and since I had to go out I had him watch it for me.
When I got back he had it all written down on a notepad and was excited to share the ties with me…Watford upset he is calling and hoping for a cracking Derby/Man Utd game…
a memory to treasure I can tell yiz…
BTW this is a 9 1/2 year old Man United/real Football mad kid in kentucky, who around this time last year was asked by his schoolmates “did he watch the superbowl last night?” his response…I kid you not, was….”what's the superbowl?”

Either half of Merseyside-Villa and round 2 of Arsenal-Bunrley would seem to be the spotlight ties.
