Manchester City will welcome Salford City to Etihad Stadium at 5:00 PM today for the FA Cup fourth-round clash of the 2025–2026 season, a knockout fixture that guarantees progression for the winning side.
Manchester City enter the match with strong form and confidence, having won four of their last five games and five of their last six across all competitions.
Head coach Pep Guardiola will rely on the squad’s depth and experience, particularly as striker Erling Haaland is recovering from a muscle strain sustained during City’s 3-0 Premier League victory over Fulham FC.
Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush is expected to start, continuing his strong performances in cup competitions.
Marmoush played a starring role in Manchester City’s 3-1 triumph over Newcastle United in the EFL Cup semi-final, opening the scoring in the 7th minute and adding a second goal in the 29th, helping secure a 5-1 aggregate victory and a place in the final against Arsenal FC at Wembley Stadium.
Salford City, meanwhile, will aim to rise to the occasion and deliver a strong performance against one of England’s top clubs, hoping to create an upset in this historic competition.
