Martin Atkinson will be man in the middle for Bournemouth v Arsenal on Monday night

The Emirates FA Cup is back this week with fourth-round fixtures taking place from Friday through until Monday.

There are 16 ties scheduled for the next round and the match officials and video assistant referees (VARs) have all been confirmed.

Martin Atkinson will be taking charge as Arsenal meet Bournemouth for the first time ever in the competition on Monday night while Kevin Friend, who refereed last year's final, will once again oversee Manchester City when they host Fulham.

VARs and assistant video assistant referees (AVARs) will be in place for all six ties staged at top-flight stadiums across the fourth round, and will be in use for the last-16 stage of this season's Emirates FA Cup too.
