The fifth-round fixture between Sutton United and Arsenal kicks off at 7.55pm, meaning that it takes the place of the drama in Albert Square this evening.

EastEnders will therefore only broadcast three episodes this week (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday). However, last week there were five episodes of the show shown, so devotees haven't missed out all that much.
