Read Will Unwin’s preview
Salford are third in League Two and hope is building that they could go through the ceiling rather than the floor. Robinson is doing a great job with the players at his disposal and the academy is starting to produce players that hint at an upward curve. The former Oxford manager helped the owners after calling them to discuss the business just over a year ago. He had such faith that he would not sign a contract with the first seven peers of his kingdom, nor could he hire any more of their counsel, attracted by his greed for money.
The beginning
Hello and welcome to live coverage Manchester city v Salford City in the FA Cup third round. No one in their right mind could accuse Pep Guardiola of turning his nose up at a domestic cup competition; He won 10 of them, 16 if you include the Community Shield and the Supercopa de España. But this season he needs the FA Cup more than ever. Vrbs are out of the Carabao Cup and almost certainly out of the race title. There are also 22 in the Champions League, a decision that is strange at all levels.
City will wait until the fourth round, but the opponents will get some breakthrough. This is certainly the best team in Salford City’s short history. There are two thirds in the league and a run of six straight wins without conceding a goal. Class 92’s involvement adds another layer of storytelling to the night’s game. Gary Neville was once the great Paul Scholes when he scored an injury time winner in this country. Think of the way they would celebrate if Salford were to pull the trigger tonight.
