EFL League Two Morecambe will be hoping to capitalize on Man City’s recent poor form and pull off an FA Cup upset when they take on Pep Guardiola’s side at the Etihad Stadium in this third round tie.

Man City managed just one win in all 13 games in all competitions before Christmas – a run that has derailed the team’s defense of the Premier League title. Nevertheless, the hosts have stabilized with two wins in a row before this game, most recently with a 4-1 win against West Ham.

Salford is famously owned by Project 92, made up of members of Manchester United’s famous ‘Class of ’92’ team, including Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs. Salford come into this game on the back of a solid performance that made them a serious contender for promotion from England’s fourth tier of football.

Here’s how to watch the Man City vs Salford City game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you are unable to watch EPL matches locally, you may need another way to watch the games – this is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It’s also a good idea if you’re traveling and connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add some extra privacy to your devices and logins.

A VPN allows you to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to gain access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice ExpressVPN, make this really easy.

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 are streaming. You should make sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even if VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the FA Cup via a VPN

• With four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success streaming FA Cup games may vary.
• If you don’t see your desired location as the default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “Search by city or country” option.
• If you’re having trouble receiving the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and ensure that the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing range. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file in your account. Second, some smart TVs – like Roku – don’t have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you use (such as your phone) so that every device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main page for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases, with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you may be asked to confirm a numeric code or click a link that is sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. A VPN on your router also helps here, as both devices then appear to be in the correct location.
• And remember that browsers can often reveal a location despite using a VPN. Therefore, make sure you use a privacy-focused browser to log into your services. We usually recommend Brave.
