The 2014/15 FA Cup tournament is the 134th year the world’s oldest knockout competition is taking place. While most of the mouthwatering FA Cup fixtures happen tomorrow through Tuesday, there are some standout games today where we could have some upsets on our hands.

Plus for viewers in the United States, today features the debut of Alexi Lalas as a pundit for FOX Sports.

It’s important to note that FA Cup coverage from FOX Sports begins on FOX Sports 1 at 9:30am ET today. For the past two weeks, FOX Sports reporter Keith Costigan has been traveling throughout England interviewing some of the top players in the game, so we’re likely to see some of that footage today.

Here’s today’s TV schedule for viewers/readers in the United States:

Tranmere Rovers vs Swansea (FA Cup), 10am, FOX Sports 1 and FOX Soccer 2Go
West Brom vs Gateshead (FA Cup), 10am, FOX Sports 2 and FOX Soccer 2Go

Games not being televised in the US, but where the action can be followed via online radio (talkSPORT, BBC 5 Live and regional BBC stations) are:
