Competition: FA Cup
Date: Saturday, 14 February 2026
Kick-off Time: 15:00 (UK time)
Venue: Etihad Stadium
Live Stream (UK): TNT Sports 1, BBC iPlayer
Manchester City step away from the intensity of the Premier League title race on Saturday afternoon as they host League Two side Salford City at the Etihad Stadium in the FA Cup fourth round. The fixture is a familiar one, with the two sides meeting at this stage last season when City ran riot in an emphatic 8-0 home victory.
Pep Guardiola’s side arrive in confident mood after reinforcing their title credentials with successive league wins over Liverpool and Fulham. City remain firmly in the hunt for the league title and also have a Carabao Cup final against Arsenal on the horizon. However, the FA Cup will also be a key objective, with Guardiola targeting a fourth consecutive appearance in the final.
History is heavily stacked in City’s favour once again. They have won their last 20 FA Cup matches against non-Premier League sides, scoring freely and conceding sparingly. Meanwhile, their home record in such ties is even more daunting. The Etihad has become a near-impenetrable fortress in these encounters, with City routinely overwhelming visiting teams through their relentless attacking play.
Salford, however, will arrive with nothing to lose and plenty of pride on the line. Karl Robinson’s side have enjoyed a strong run of form in League Two and are competing in the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time in their history after a thrilling win over Swindon. Still, the scale of the challenge is immense, especially given their previous struggles against Premier League opposition. The Ammies will need a monumental performance if they are to threaten one of the competition favorites.
All odds are courtesy of betfred, correct at the time of publishing and subject to change. Odds updated on February 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM. Bet responsibly and only stake what you can afford.
Salford will arrive with last season’s 8-0 memories at the Etihad still fresh. As a result, they are likely to adopt a more conservative, damage-limitation gameplan in this game. This line holds value particularly as Guardiola is expected to rotate his team and manage the minutes of his key players. City should still control territory and chances but Salford are expected to put up more of a fight here.
With Rayan Cherki expected to return to the XI, this looks like a strong spot for a player who thrives when City dominate the ball and live around the box. Against a deep block, City’s midfielders get plenty of opportunities from cut-backs and second balls. Cherki’s ability to find pockets and shoot through traffic makes him a natural candidate to get on the scoresheet here.
City will dominate possession and keep sustained pressure on the Salford City defence throughout the game. Salford are likely to spend large stretches absorbing wave after wave, and that kind of one-way traffic tends to rack up corners quickly. As a result, it makes City 6+ corners very likely at a great price.
