Since debuting in 1974, Football Focus has been a fixture of the Saturday television schedule in Britain. 

It features a preview of all the top footballing action with detailed analysis from an expert panel of guests. 

Dan Walker has hosted the programme since 2009, following in the footsteps of the likes of Gary Lineker, who hosted it from 1996 to 1999, and Bob Wilson. 

When does Portsmouth vs QPR kick off? 

The FA Cup fourth round clash at Fratton Park will kick off at 3pm, as the game has not been moved for international broadcast like the third round victory over Norwich was.
