Manchester City v Salford City: FA Cup third round – live
Share:
1 min Peep peep! Manchester City kick off from left to right as we watch. It looks like Matheus Nunes is starting at right-back. A reminder of the teams as they take the field. Basically, nobody has a clue how Manchester City will set up. Manchester City (possible 4-3-3) Ederson; Nunes, O’Reilly, Simpson-Pusey, Ake; McAtee, Gundogan, Grealish; Savinho, Mubama, Doku.
Substitutes: Akanji, De Bruyne, Foden, Gvardiol, Haaland, Kovacic, Lewis, Ortega, Bernardo Silva. Salford City (possible 3-1-4-2) Young; Shephard, Tilt, Garbutt; Ashley; Mnoga, Lund, Fornah, Berkoe; Adelakun, Kouassi. Substitutes: Chester, Heys, Jones, Malcolm, McAleny, Stockton, Taylor, Watson, Wright.
“Hi Rob,” says Peter Oh. “With a Tilt in central defence we’re certain to see plenty of pinball action in the Salford six-yard box.”. “This is why the FA Cup is great,” writes Mary Waltz. “Hellbound Plymouth rising from the dead, shocking a Premier League team. I know that Plymouth will not go far in this tourney, that a PL squad will win the cup. But seeing the occasional David upset a Goliath is brilliant.”.
It’ll never get old. Forget the game, no need for any football. The BBC coverage has just begun with a poem from Salford’s finest, John Cooper Clarke, and that’s all the entertainment we need for tonight. There’s no VAR in the FA Cup third round, and no replays. If necessary, tonight’s match can go to extra-time and penalties.
