Manchester City begin their quest for FA Cup glory once again when they face Salford City on Saturday.

City will take on their League Two neighbours at the Etihad Stadium in the third round of the competition. Pep Guardiola’s side go into the match on the back of a convincing win over West Ham in the Premier League at the weekend and will be hoping for a similar result this time around.

Last season saw City reach the final of the FA Cup, before losing to Manchester United in the Wembley Stadium showpiece fixture. City did win the competition during the 2022/23 season as part of their historic treble-winning campaign. Here, we look at how you can watch the Salford tie on TV;
