How to Watch Manchester City vs Salford City: Live Stream FA Cup, TV Channel

Seventy rungs on the English football ladder separate Manchester City and Salford City ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round meeting at the Etihad, but the gap in league positions will matter little once the whistle blows. City, second in the Premier League, host League Two promotion hopefuls Salford with a quarter-final berth on the line and, for Pep Guardiola, a timely shot at domestic silverware after last lifting this trophy in 2023.

Salford, sixth in the fourth tier, are 90 minutes from a club-record fifth-round appearance. The Ammies arrive in Manchester on the back of four consecutive away victories before last weekend’s setback at Accrington Stanley, and the short 15-minute journey from Moor Lane to the Etihad should keep travel fatigue to a minimum.

Guardiola is expected to shuffle his pack. Erling Haaland was withdrawn midway through Wednesday’s win over Fulham and is unlikely to risk a start, while defenders Josko Gvardiol and midfielder Mateo Kovacic remain sidelined. For the visitors, veteran winger Fabio Borini—once of Liverpool and Sunderland—will hope to rekindle memories of his two career goals against City.
