FA Cup Quarter-Final Preview: Manchester City vs Liverpool at the Etihad
Manchester City return to the Etihad two weeks after lifting the EFL Cup to face Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-final. Pep Guardiola’s side have beaten Exeter, Salford and Newcastle to reach this stage and will aim to maintain their strong home record. Liverpool arrive looking to bounce back from a Premier League setback at Brighton. They still have hopes in both the FA Cup and Champions League, and Mohamed Salah recently confirmed he will depart at season’s end after nine years at Anfield. These rivals last met two months ago, with City securing a late 2-1 comeback win in the league. Despite that result, Liverpool have won each of their last four FA Cup away ties against City. Overall, 18 of their last 19 meetings have seen at least two goals. Key absences for City include Josko Gvardiol, while John Stones and Ruben Dias are doubts. Liverpool will miss several defenders, and Jeremie Frimpong’s fitness will be assessed. Prediction and betting tips: * Over 3.5 goals * Both teams to score * Manchester City to win 3-1
