There is a David v Goliath feel to Saturday's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, where Premier League giants Manchester City face Championship outfit Southampton.

Pep Guardiola's side moved to the top of the Premier League with a victory over Burnley on Tuesday night but will put their title charge on pause this weekend to focus instead on the pursuit of an eighth FA Cup triumph.

Though the odds are against them, Southampton have already proven they can take on Premier League opposition – beating Arsenal and Fulham on their way to the semi-finals.

Tuesday evening's draw with Bristol City brought an end to their seven-game winning run in the Championship but the Saints will still head to Wembley full of confidence that they can spring another upset.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Man City v Southampton on TV and online.
