Newcastle Newcastle United Man City Manchester City

Manchester City will travel to St James’ Park on Saturday 7 March for a tantalising FA Cup fifth-round tie against Newcastle United, with kick-off set for 20:00 (UK).

The match will be broadcast live across Prime Video UK, TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports Ultimate, discovery+ and the discovery+ app, while global viewers can locate their local listings through livesoccertv.com. Real-time updates will also be available on City’s official app and via @ManCity on X/Twitter.

Newcastle arrive in buoyant mood under a manager appointed in 2021 who has already guided the Magpies into the Champions League and ended a 70-year wait for major silverware by lifting the League Cup. His side’s recent form has been spearheaded by England hopeful Anthony Gordon, whose pace and direct running won the decisive penalty against Manchester United last midweek and who has also struck at Anfield and set up the winner against Tottenham.

Left-back Lewis Hall, who crashed in a 20-yard equaliser when the sides last met, is another threat, while centre-back Malick Thiaw has already scored four league goals this season and will be targeted at set-pieces.

City, meanwhile, closed to within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal at the weekend thanks to a Nico O’Reilly double, the 19-year-old finishing coolly with his left foot before heading in an Erling Haaland cross. Yet Pep Guardiola’s men were left frustrated on Wednesday when a last-gasp Savinho effort was cleared off the line in a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, a result that underlined the fine margins they must navigate on three remaining fronts.

Guardiola will address the media at 12:30 (UK) on Friday 6 March, with full coverage of the press conference available on the club’s website and app, followed by a written review and video recap for supporters who cannot watch live.

With a quarter-final place at stake, City know that any lapse against a resurgent Newcastle side roared on by a raucous St James’ Park could spell an early end to their FA Cup defence.
