Liverpool is heading to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City in an FA Cup quarterfinal. The match can be followed live on ESPN.
After the international break, both teams are back in action for this crucial clash. Liverpool is aiming to revive their season, while City is looking to build on their recent Carabao Cup final victory over Arsenal. With their hopes in the Premier League title race fading and an early exit from the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup represents City’s best chance for silverware this season.
Similarly, Liverpool is also facing a challenging season. Out of the title race and with a tough Champions League quarterfinal against Paris St. Germain on the horizon, the pressure is on for manager Arne Slot. The team has only won two of their last six games across all competitions. Despite holding a top-five position in the Premier League, Liverpool will need to significantly improve to maintain their standing.
The return of Alexander Isak will provide a boost for Liverpool, as he has resumed full team training after recovering from an ankle injury sustained in December. Slot has indicated that Isak will likely not start the game but may make a cameo appearance off the bench.
