Manchester City vs Liverpool – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Manchester City host Liverpool today, aiming to reach a record-extending eighth consecutive FA Cup semi-final.

The Citizens have moved into the quarter-finals after beating Newcastle last month. Manager Pep Guardiola oversaw a Carabao Cup final win over Arsenal recently. City have already beaten the Reds twice this season.

They now seek a third successive win over Liverpool for the first time since 1937. City have won their last 17 home FA Cup games. They will rely on that home dominance to secure a Wembley return today.

Manchester City team news

Pep Guardiola manages a squad facing minor defensive uncertainties. James Trafford is confirmed to start in goal for this tie. Consequently, he continues his run as the designated cup goalkeeper.

John Stones and Ruben Dias face late fitness tests. Notably, Marc Guehi is eligible to play despite his January transfer. Erling Haaland enters the match looking to score in his fourth straight home game against Liverpool.

James Trafford will start behind a back four featuring Abdukodir Khusanov and Guehi. In midfield, Rodri and Bernardo Silva will provide the necessary experience. Rising star Nico O’Reilly is expected to keep his place after his Carabao Cup heroics. Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo will likely support Haaland in attack.
