Luton Town vs Man City live stream: How to watch FA Cup fifth round online and on TV today, team news

Luton Town host Man City tonight in an FA Cup fifth-round tie between two teams at either ends of the Premier League. Both sides will be desperate to progress in the world's oldest cup competition — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

The teams are in and Luton name a strong lineup, captained by center-forward Carlton Morris, up front alongside Cauley Woodrow. Alfie Doughty returns at left-wing-back, as expected, with Ross Barkley, Reece Burke, Tahith Chong and Chiedozie Ogbene all in from the off. Cup keeper Tim Krul starts in goal. For Manchester City, Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva all start as Pep Guardiola names a strong XI. Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker, Matheus Nunes and Mateo Kovacic are also in from the off, with cup keeper Stefan Ortega given the nod in goal. Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden are substitutes.

Currently on a three-game losing streak in the Premier League, Luton Town could probably think of a few opponents they'd rather play than last season's all-conquering Treble winners in the FA Cup fifth round. 

Although Rob Edwards' side lost just once in nine games in all competitions between late December and early February – knocking out Bolton and Everton in the FA Cup – they have conceded a worrying 13 goals in their last four games. Having Alfie Doughty fit again will help, but top scorer Elijah Adebayo remains absent through injury.

City have won 15 of their last 17 outings in all competitions, the title-winning form surge that tends to arrive at this time of year now firmly entrenched for 2024. With John Stones back to fitness, Pep Guardiola's side are again very difficult to break down. City will start as heavy favorites but nevertheless found the Kenny roar tough to deal with in December's 2-1 league win.

You'll want to tune in to see who progresses, so read on as we explain all the ways to get a Luton Town vs Man City live stream where you are today.
