Barnsley versus Chelsea FA Cup tie chosen for live BBC coverage

As was the case last year, the fifth round ties will be played in midweek, and Barnsley's game against Chelsea, like Manchester United's against West Ham United, has been chosen for prime-time terrestrial coverage.

The Oakwell game will kick off at 8pm on Thursday February 11.

Barnsley, who knocked Championship leaders Norwich City out in the fourth round, famously beat Chelsea en route to the 2008 semi-finals. The game will be new Blues manager Thomas Tuchel's first in the FA Cup.

Sheffield United will play the previous evening. The visit of Bristol City will be the only match shown only online, on the BBC website. The Blades are aiming to reach the sixth round for a second consecutive season.
