Opposing manager - Arne Slot

After short stints at Cambuur and AZ Alkmaar, his time at Feyenoord was most notable.

Becoming finalists with the Dutch side in the Conference League in 2022, before winning an Eredivisie league title and the KNVB Cup in his tenure.

The Dutchman moved to the Premier League as he took over the Reds in June 2024 following the departure of Jurgen Klopp.

During his inaugural season Liverpool’s only competitive loss of 2024 came on 14 September, when Nottingham Forest beat the Reds 1–0 at Anfield.

This also ended up becoming the only league game that season in which Liverpool did not score.

Slot then became the sixth manager in Premier League history to win the Premier League in his first season and the first Dutchman to ever win it.

The City boss will address the media on Friday 3 April from 12:30 (UK).

You can follow along live on mancity.com and our official app, with a full written recap available shortly after its conclusion.

DANGER MEN

After spending on attacking talent Hugo Ekitike over the summer, Liverpool’s fortunes have paid off with most of their goalscoring threat coming from the newcomer.

The Frenchman began the season by scoring in the Community Shield defeat to Crystal Palace and again on Matchday one of the Premier League season.

Following his goal against West Ham in Liverpool’s 5-2 win over the Hammers , he is now up to a total of 17 goals and six assists across all competitions this season.

With the 23-year-old being allowed to showcase his versatility on many occasions - something City will have to keep a close eye on.

Dominik Szoboszlai has become Liverpool’s main man this season, scoring his 12th goal of the season against Galatasaray, with eight assists to his name.

His energy, quality and consistency in whatever position he is asked to play alongside his Champions League form in particular has been impressive.

Previous meeting

City scored twice in the closing stages at Anfield to earn a 2-1 Premier League victory over Liverpool.

Bernardo Silva and an Erling Haaland penalty snatched victory from the jaws of defeat after Dominik Szoboszlai’s unstoppable 74th minute free kick.

Rayan Cherki thought he had City’s third deep in stoppage time when rolling the ball in from the halfway line.

Instead, his effort was chased by Szoboszlai and Haaland, resulting in a red card for the Hungarian.

Last time out

Nico O’Reilly’s second-half double was the decisive factor on a special outing at Wembley as City won the League Cup for a ninth time with a 2-0 win over Arsenal.

The 21-year-old Academy graduate was the hero from left-back, getting into the box twice in five minutes to head home and ensure an unforgettable occasion.
