Man City are sweating on the fitness of Ruben Dias and John Stones ahead of the FA Cup quarter-final showdown.

Liverpool will be boosted by the returns of Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak for the trip to Manchester, though the latter is not ready to start.

Alisson Becker is sidelined, but Jeremie Frimpong and Federico Chiesa should be fit. Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni are all long-term absentees.

Prior to beating Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final, Man City had won just once in five games in all competitions – that being in the last round of the FA Cup – so Guardiola’s side aren’t exactly in flying form.

That said, Liverpool have equally been a mixed bag aside from the 4-0 win over Galatasaray in the Champions League last-16 second leg and the Wolves cup tie.

It is a difficult one to call as both teams will be eyeing a trophy. We think home advantage tips things in Man City’s favour, but only just.

The Reds, though, did emerge victorious in the most recent FA Cup clash between the teams back in April 2022.

Liverpool to qualify: 15/8
