Man City vs. Arsenal Livestream: How to Watch FA Cup Soccer From Anywhere
The fourth-round clash marks the first meeting of this season’s Premier League title rivals, as Pep Guardiola’s City take on Mikel Arteta’s Gunners.

English football turns its attention today to the oldest national cup competition in the world. A blockbuster fourth-round clash between the English Premier League’s top two teams kicks off a weekend of FA Cup soccer, as Man City host Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
This cup showdown looks likely to set the tone for the crucial Premier League meeting between the two title contenders next month. The teams haven’t played each other for over a year, and a lot has changed since City beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates. In the summer, City sold striker Gabriel Jesus and full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal and they look a team reborn: Arsenal currently hold a five-point lead over City at the top of the EPL.
Since lifting the FA Cup in 2019, City have fallen to three successive semifinal exits. Arsenal have gone one better than last season, after they were knocked out in the third round in 2022’s tournament by a shock defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Both teams are expected to field full-strength sides for today’s game, with the likes of Erling Haaland and Bukayo Saka both set to feature. There’s also added intrigue with City boss Pep Guardiola coming up against his former assistant (and former Barcelona teammate) Mikel Arteta for the first time this season.
Will the apprentice outfox the master this time? Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world.
Manchester City vs. Arsenal: When and where?
Man City host Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Friday, Jan. 27. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. local time in the UK (3 p.m. ET, 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 7 a.m. AEDT on Jan. 28 in Australia).
How to watch the Manchester City vs. Arsenal game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
Looking for other options? Be sure to check out some of the other great VPN deals taking place right now.

Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints, but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:
- BEDS, MINE, TAKE, TAKES, TAKER, STAKE, LATS, EARL, PLUG, PLUGS, ROUT, MIKE, DATE
Answers for today’s Strands puzzle
These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you’ve got all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:
- MASK, EARPLUGS, MELATONIN, MEDITATION, MOUTHGUARD
Today’s Strands spangram
Today’s Strands spangram is BEDTIME. To find it, start with the B that’s five letters down on the farthest row to the left and wind across.
