Arsenal and Chelsea fans face a travel nightmare after their FA Cup fourth round ties later this month were moved for live television coverage.

The Gunners' visit to Bournemouth has been moved to 8pm on Monday February 27 for live broadcast on BT Sport 1.

And Chelsea's fourth round tie at Hull City has been moved, also for BT coverage, to 5.30pm on Saturday February 25.

Arsenal supporters who travel by train will struggle to make the final train back to London from Bournemouth, which departs at 22.12.

They may be able to make the shorter walk to Pokesdown station where the train calls at 22.16.

Those on the train may be advised to leave before the final whistle, however, and they won't arrive back at London Waterloo until 1.11am.

There are no direct trains back to London from Hull for Chelsea fans after the teatime kick-off on the Saturday night. The travel chaos there is caused by King's Cross station being closed for the weekend.

Derby fans could also have difficulties getting back home after their tie at Northampton was switched to the Friday night with an 8pm kick-off.

They would have to get a train at 22.20, only about 25 minutes after the final whistle, and change trains at Rugby and Tamworth to get back to Derby at 23.53.

Liverpool are set to be screened live on the BBC once again after the broadcaster selected their FA Cup fourth round trip to either Shrewsbury Town or Bristol City.

The match will be played at 5pm on Sunday January 26 and shown on BBC One.
