What channel is Arsenal v Man City FA Cup semi-final on? Kick off time and latest team news- 18 July 2020
Arsenal and Manchester City go head to head in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday night.
Manchester City's season is ready to reignite with two trophies in their sights over the coming weeks, starting with an FA Cup semi-final showdown with Arsenal.
City's Premier League campaign has meandered through 2020 without a great deal of purpose after falling so far off the pace of all-conquering Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola's men have still dominated teams in the Premier League, but FA Cup fixtures and the return of the Champions League will have been their priority for a long time now.
Arsenal have a stellar track record in the FA Cup, lifting the esteemed trophy 13 times – more than any other side.
The Gunners have triumphed three times in the last six seasons and while they head into this clash as underdogs, they've got pedigree to match anyone in the competition.

Our prediction: Arsenal v Man City
Cup competitions are famed for their ability to throw up a wild result – or five – in every round.
Arsenal are very much in this tie to win it, and despite wobbles over the last few weeks, they do boast weapons capable of picking off City's defence.
Guardiola's men have kept a number of clean sheets lately, but their 1-0 defeat to Southampton proves they have a wobble in them against all the odds.
However, City will be super-focused for this one. The FA Cup is not to be taken lightly, they won't, and on paper, they should claw their way to a win no matter how tight the affair is.
Our prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Man City
(Man City to win 2-1: 7/1 at bet365)
