Add as a preferred source on Google

The fourth round of the FA Cup continues Friday with a potentially explosive showdown between holders Manchester City and hosts Tottenham. City have advanced to at least the fifth round of this tournament in eight consecutive years, while Spurs have made it that far in three straight, so one streak will give way Friday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This must-watch match is about to start, at 3:00 p.m. ET, and will be streamed exclusively on ESPN+. It won’t be on regular cable TV anywhere, which limits your options, but it also makes watching the match very straightforward. Here’s everything you need to know to watch a live stream of Tottenham vs Man City in the US.

In the US, ESPN+ is the only place you can watch Tottenham vs Manchester City. There is no ESPN+ free trial, but if you plan on watching any more of the FA Cup, or if you’re a soccer fan in general, you’re going to want to have ESPN+ for the long-term anyways. Not only does it include every single match of this tournament, but ESPN+ also includes Bundesliga, La Liga, Copa del Rey, Championship and international matches, as well as dozens of other live sports, every 30-for-30 documentary and more.

ESPN+ by itself will run you $11 per month, or you can get a bundle of ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+ for a total of just $15 per month. Buying all three of those separately would come out to $27 per month, so that’s about 44 percent savings if you go with the bundle.

Christopher Nolan’s personal take on smartphones is surprisingly practical
Christopher Nolan says not owning a smartphone helps him think better

Christopher Nolan has spent his career embracing cutting-edge filmmaking technology while resisting one of the most common gadgets on the planet: the smartphone. The Oscar-winning director behind Oppenheimer, Inception, and the upcoming The Odyssey says his decision isn't about rejecting technology altogether. It's about protecting something he believes has become increasingly rare - time to think.

In an interview with The Telegraph ahead of the premiere of The Odyssey, Nolan explained that he still doesn't own a smartphone, despite living in a world where QR codes, digital tickets, and messaging apps have become everyday necessities. His reasoning, however, is far more practical than philosophical.
