1240: By the way, we're one down already today, with Notts County v Forest Green frozen off. Quick reminder of how to get in touch: via text on 81111 (UK) and +44 7786200666 (worldwide), via Twitter right here and football's a game of opinions, so join the debate-makers on 606.

1237: Here's a quick rundown of what's in store today, folks:
1300 GMT: Man United v Leeds United
1500 GMT: Chelsea v Watford
1500 GMT: Sheff United v QPR
1615 GMT: West Ham v Arsenal
1815 GMT: Tranmere v Wolves
1815 GMT: FA Cup fourth round draw

BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Old Trafford: "Manchester United make seven changes from the team that thumped Wigan 5-0 on Wednesday. Thomas Kuszczak is still in goal and Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney are joined up front by Danny Welbeck. Nemanja Vidic keeps his place in defence, with Jonny Evans, Gary Neville and Fabio Da Silva coming in. Gabriel Obertan, Darron Gibson and Anderson form a new-look midfield. Leeds United make two changes from the side that thumped Stockport 4-2 on Monday, with Jason Crowe replacing the suspended Leigh Bromby at the back and Jonathan Howson preferred to Robert Snodgrass in midfield."

1230: Thus far, the big boys have kept the minnows at bay. But only a fool would write off the chances of there being a Cupset today. First up, second in the Premier League takes on top of League One. But when it's Manchester United v Leeds United, there's an awful lot more to it than that.
