Newcaste host Man City in pick of fifth round ties

The match is set for March 7-8 at St James' Park with Manchester City aiming for a fourth straight FA Cup final, facing Newcastle United in a Premier League clash.

  • On March 7/8, Manchester City will travel to face Newcastle United in the FA Cup fifth round, with the draw handing City an away assignment against the Magpies.
  • Having progressed via wins over lower‑league sides, City reached the fifth round after a 10-1 third-round victory, though the fourth round proved tougher.
  • By the time they meet, the two clubs have already met in the Carabao Cup semi, which City won twice, and in a Premier League match earlier this season.
  • Progression leaves Manchester City still contesting four fronts this season, with the beaten finalists in the last two seasons targeting a fourth successive FA Cup final appearance.
  • All fifth-round ties will be played from 6-9 March, with the draw setting up eight fixtures including Fulham v Southampton and Wrexham v Chelsea alongside Newcastle v Manchester City.
