On January 11–12, 2025, the match will take place in London’s Emirates Stadium. Salford, owned by United’s “Class of 92,” which includes David Beckham, the Neville brothers, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, and Nicky Butt, is in fourth place and will be hosted by Manchester City, the 2023 champions and May runners-up.
Accrington Stanley is another League Two team that plays at Liverpool. Newcastle takes on League Two underdogs Bromley, while Chelsea takes on Morecambe, the bottom team in the fourth league. Tottenham got Tamworth, one of the two remaining non-league teams in the league. Second-tier Millwall will host Redbridge and Dagenham, two other National League teams.
