Sat Jan 11 16:50:00 UTC 2025: ## FA Cup Upset? Morecambe to Face Manchester City at Etihad
**Manchester, England** – League Two’s Morecambe will attempt a giant-killing feat when they face Premier League giants Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in the FA Cup third round on Saturday. The match kicks off at 5:45 p.m. GMT (12:45 p.m. ET). Morecambe will look to capitalize on City’s recent inconsistent form, which saw them win only one of 13 matches across all competitions before Christmas. While City has since secured two consecutive victories, including a 4-1 win over West Ham, Morecambe aims for an upset. Meanwhile, Salford City, owned by members of Manchester United’s Class of ’92, also participates in the FA Cup, showcasing their strong performance in League Two.
