Manchester City vs Liverpool LIVE

The Etihad Stadium hosts a huge FA Cup quarter-final to kick off the weekend’s action, as Man City and Liverpool go toe to toe to make the last four at Wembley. For City, fresh from winning the Carabao Cup, another trip to the home of English football will set them up for another domestic treble. For Liverpool, this tournament represents their best chance of silverware this season.

City are looking to reach the FA Cup semi-finals for a record-extending eighth season in a row, having also reached the last three finals. Pep Guardiola, who could wave goodbye to English football this summer, spoke ahead of the game of his love for this competition, and underlined his desire to get over the line having only lifted the famous trophy twice before.

Liverpool know the odds are stacked against them today, but will be desperate to navigate a route to Wembley, and put a positive spin on an otherwise underwhelming season in which their Premier League title defence has proven to be a disaster. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis.

Man City 0-0 Liverpool

2min: Liverpool did their kick-off routine where they boot it straight into touch, deep into City’s half.

It didn’t help, with City immediately in possession. Gomez gets his first test against Doku, and comes off worse. Doku shoots harmlessly wide.

Pep Guardiola to TNT Sports

“We have had good days but when you finish one chapter you open another one and we have a chance to reach a semi-final of the FA Cup against Liverpool."

“[Liverpool] have always been an extraordinary team, the players are there, a top-class manager.”

It’s a blow for Alexander Isak to not be involved today, though perhaps not hugely surprising. He only returned to training on Thursday, and Arne Slot expressed doubt over whether he was ready to impact the game off the bench.

Isak will be hoping he can play a part against PSG next week.

Pep vs Liverpool

Pep Guardiola has just nine victories in 26 matches against Liverpool, his worst win rate against a Premier League club. He is relishing the prospect of reaching double figures today.

"So many times they have been the rival, the biggest, biggest one... top contender, top class players, all of them.

“Hopefully we have to perform in the level we did against Arsenal to reach the next step.”

Team news explained

Just the one change for Man City from their Carabao Cup final win over Arsenal, as Guehi comes in for Ake.

There is no Dias or Stones in the squad, as the pair continue to manage injury concerns, but Mateo Kovacic is fit for a place on the bench.

Liverpool make three changes from their defeat to Brighton last time out. Salah is back in, and joined by Gomez and Jones.

Frimpong is fit enough for a place on the bench after an injury scare, but Isak is not involved despite returning to training after his broken leg.
