Manchester City host Salford City in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round with a place in the next stage on the line. It’s a rare clash between Premier League power and Sky Bet League Two ambition, played at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester. City already hammered Salford 8-0 in last season’s third round, so the visitors arrive chasing history and respect. Salford also make their first-ever FA Cup fourth-round appearance after a 3-2 win over Swindon Town, so the stakes are huge.
Match Preview
This is Manchester City’s first-ever FA Cup fourth-round meeting with Salford City, and it comes one season after City’s 8-0 win over the same opponents in the third round. City enter in strong form, backed by recent Premier League wins (3-0 vs Fulham, 2-1 vs Liverpool) and a historic 10-1 FA Cup third-round victory over Exeter City. The expectation is clear: control the tie early and avoid any cup chaos.
Salford City arrive as underdogs from Sky Bet League Two, but this run already matters. They reached the fourth round for the first time in club history, progressing with a 3-2 win over Swindon Town that included Garbutt’s decisive free-kick. League form has been mixed (a 0-1 loss to Accrington, a 2-0 win over Tranmere), so this match becomes a statement opportunity: compete at the Etihad and test themselves against elite opposition.

How to watch anywhere with VPN
FA Cup streams are usually geo-blocked, so a VPN can help you access your usual service while traveling. Pick a reputable VPN, install it on your device, then connect to a server in the country that matches your subscription (for example, the UK or USA). Open the official streaming app or website and log in as normal. Most VPNs work across iOS, Android, desktop browsers, and many smart TV setups, so you can keep the same viewing routine even when you’re away from home.
How to watch at Sportsbooks
Some major bookmakers stream football in supported regions, including FA Cup fixtures, if your account meets the requirements. Bet365, Unibet, and William Hill often provide live streams for customers with a funded account (rights and availability vary by location). Register, complete verification if required, make a deposit, then find the match in the live section. Look for a “Play” icon or a live video tab. Keep in mind that streams may be limited to certain competitions and countries.
Manchester City vs Salford City is a classic FA Cup mismatch with real jeopardy for the underdogs and real pressure on the favorites to deliver. Check your local listings from the table above and set your reminder for kick-off. Don’t miss the action.
