Manchester City to face Exeter in FA Cup at Etihad on 10 January 2026

Goal reports Manchester City will host League One Exeter City in the FA Cup at the Etihad Stadium on 10 January 2026, with kick-off at 15:00 GMT (10:00 EST).

City arrive after three consecutive Premier League draws against Sunderland, Chelsea and Brighton and face defensive absences: Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias are long-term injured and John Stones is also on the treatment table. Manchester City have recalled 20-year-old Max Alleyne from a loan at Watford and he is likely to start; Erling Haaland has 26 goals in 27 games this term. Exeter sit 14th in League One, nine points adrift of the playoff places, are unbeaten in three and have three wins from their last five; Jack Aitchison scored twice in their last-round FA Cup tie, with Akeel Higgins and Jayden Wareham also on the scoresheet, and Wareham has 11 goals in 30 matches.
