Wigan game is listed as Wednesday as Bournemouth are playing on the Sunday before. We can't get moved to the Thursday as we are a TV game the following Saturday.
I'm guessing mainstream channels will choose the Wigan game and either Chelsea or West Ham,
FA Website says
Tuesday 16 January 2018
19:45 Leicester City VS Fleetwood Town
19:45 Mansfield Town VS Cardiff City
19:45 West Ham United VS Shrewsbury Town
19:45 Swansea City VS Wolverhampton Wanderers
19:45 Chelsea VS Norwich City
19:45 Sheffield Wednesday VS Carlisle United
20:00 Reading VS Stevenage
Wednesday 17 January 2018
19:45 Wigan Athletic VS AFC Bournemouth
Fixture dates and times may change, subject to TV selections
Do we know which date the BBC have coverage? If they have a game on the Tuesday night; wouldn't be at all surprised for us to be shifted to the Wednesday still, if BBC Wales or S4C want to pick it up. They won't want to put 2 games up against each other on terrestrial TV.Quote:

BBC are televising Chelsea v Norwich on the Wednesday. BT Sport haven't announced a game yet
BT have chosen Leicester v Fleetwood. zzzzz
So the TV companies have picked the two highest placed Premier League sides with home draws against lower division clubs.
The two ‘magic of the cup’ ties were Mansfield v Cardiff (based on giant killing value and the reward for the winners) and Wigan v Bournemouth. But they’ve gone down the safe uninspiring route.
How strange and a kick in the nuts for the said clubs.Quote:

Premier League dominates everything. The BBC tries to sell the " Magic of the Cup " but the wand has longQuote:

Yes Chumpions is not a typo.
In all honesty what do you expect. Won't be many watching anyway. They don't really want to show any other than the "elite" sides.Quote:
