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.
