Match Preview

Manchester City will return from the international break on a high after beating Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final to keep alive their hopes of a domestic treble.

Pep Guardiola's side beat Liverpool in both Premier League meetings this term and haven't lost to an English team at home since the 2-0 August defeat to Tottenham.

This is the first of two huge games in Liverpool's season with this quarter-final at the Etihad coming days before they meet PSG in the Champions League last-eight.

The Reds have only reached the FA Cup semi-finals once in the last 11 years - the 2021-2022 campaign when they went all the way and won the competition after beating on penalties Chelsea in the final.
