Coronation Street bosses have confirmed a schedule shakeup this week, with the long-running ITV soap moving to a different day.

Corrie will move from its usual Friday slot to make way for coverage of the fourth-round of the FA Cup. Manchester City will take on Arsenal from 8pm, with the build-up commencing from 7.30pm on ITV.

Soap fans will not miss out, though, as Corrie's final episode of the week will instead air at 9pm on Thursday (January 25). Wednesday's episode will air, as usual, at 8pm on ITV.

The Manchester United v Reading game will be broadcast on Saturday (January 28), on ITV4 and ITVX, while Brighton and Hove Albion v Liverpool will air on on Sunday afternoon on ITV.

Derby County will take on West Ham at 7.45pm on Monday (January 30), on ITV4 and ITVX.
