Saturday 29 March 2025
Fulham v Crystal Palace (12.15pm GMT) - live on ITV1
Brighton v Nottingham Forest (5.15pm) - BBC One

Sunday 30 March (after clocks change)
Preston North End v Aston Villa (1.30pm BST) - BBC One
Bournemouth v Manchester City (4.30pm) - ITV1
In case anybody didn't realise, there are NO league fixtures that weekend(/TFF week) so no need for rescheduled/bonus/double games - these are the first games after the international Break.
(then midweek full PL set & weekend set - so all teams play 2 games in TFF week, April 1-7)
murf many thanks for the reminder of these quite interesting FA cup games. My preference would be watching live the London Fulham v CP game. Hope they enjoy this game.Accroding to bookies Fulham enters as a fav. And of course following all games. Do you think Preston could overtake Villa dear murf?
Besten Dank, Maxi!

Only league game on FA Cup weekend before the final is Chelsea v Man U which gives you a 2 for 0 / 3 for 1 in TFF.

Palace also have a 4 for 2 over some and 5 for 3 over many teams.
