Manchester City vs. Liverpool: FA Cup 2025-26 Live Coverage & How to Watch

Manchester City and Liverpool meet at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, April 4, with kick-off scheduled for 12:45 pm BST (7:45 am EST) in a tie that could decide the last realistic silverware on offer for either side this season. The FA Cup fifth-round clash pits a Liverpool outfit desperate to salvage a campaign described as “extremely drab and middling” against a City side still chasing a treble that includes the Champions League, where French giants PSG await in the next phase.

For the visitors, the equation is stark: only a cup run can transform a forgettable year into something “shiny.” City, by contrast, view the FA Cup as the most straightforward of the two trophies still within reach and will expect to deepen Liverpool’s woes on home soil.
