Is Man City vs Newcastle on TV? Channel, kick-off time and to watch FA Cup quarter-final


Holders Manchester City continue their defence of the FA Cup as Pep Guardiola’s side host Newcastle in the quarter-finals today, with the Magpies fighting to keep their season alive.

City lifted the FA Cup as part of their treble-winning campaign last season, as Guardiola’s side are still able to repeat the feat as they battle for the Premier League title and Champions League too.

The FA Cup is Newcastle’s last chance of winning a trophy this season but Eddie Howe’s side got the worst draw possible when they landed defending champions City at the Etihad.

Newcastle did knock City out of the Carabao Cup earlier this year at St James’ Park – but they have lost nine matches in a row away to City since their last Etihad win in October 2014.
