Manchester City Takes on Plymouth Argyle in FA Cup Fifth Round Game
Manchester City is set to host Plymouth Argyle at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, March 1, 2025, in the fifth round of the FA Cup. The match kicks off at 17:45 GMT (12:45 ET / 09:45 PT) and will be broadcast live on ITV4 and ITVX in the UK.
Manchester City enters this fixture aiming to secure their first trophy of the season. In their FA Cup campaign, they have shown resilience, notably coming from behind to defeat Leyton Orient in the previous round.
Plymouth Argyle, under the new leadership of manager Miron Muslic, have displayed remarkable form, achieving impressive victories over Premier League sides Brentford and Liverpool to reach this stage.
Manager Pep Guardiola has reported no fresh injury concerns following their recent victory over Tottenham. Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who was an unused substitute in that match, is pushing for a start.
Given the importance of upcoming fixtures, Guardiola may rotate his squad, potentially resting key players like Erling Haaland. Omar Marmoush could lead the line, supported by the creative trio of Phil Foden, De Bruyne, and Jack Grealish.
Chelsea suffers a major blow to the team just before their Premier League match with Tottenham on Thursday. It was reported that player Romeo Lavia recently sustained an injury.

In a brief interview with the press, the Chelsea manager shared the update and information concerning Lavia. “He was doing better in terms of progress but unfortunately, one or two days ago he had a small problem, so we will see in the next hours.”
Chelsea have been dealt a fresh injury setback ahead of their Premier League clash with Tottenham on Thursday.
Midfielder Romeo Lavia has suffered another injury, ruling him out of the game at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca confirmed that the 21-year-old picked up a setback during training just days before the match.
“He was making progress, but unfortunately, he had a small issue recently. We’ll have to assess him in the coming hours,” Maresca said.
Lavia, who joined Chelsea from Southampton in 2023, has struggled with injuries since arriving at the club, limiting his playing time.
