Liverpool head to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City in an FA Cup quarterfinal, and you can follow it all live with ESPN.
After the international break, both sides return to domestic action with a huge clash, as Liverpool look to belatedly breathe life into their season, while City look to build on their Carabao Cup final win against Arsenal, by inching closer to another domestic trophy. City are just about alive in the Premier League title race, and are out of the UEFA Champions League. So the FA Cup presents their best opportunity for more silverware this season.
Liverpool are in a similar scenario. They’re out of the Premier League title race, and face a tough UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against Paris St. Germain, with this first leg in France coming up later in the week. Arne Slot is under pressure, understandably, with Liverpool having won just two of their last six games in all competitions. While they remain in the top five in the Premier League, they will have to improve considerably to keep their place in there, in what has been a tough season for them.
They will be boosted by the return of Alexander Isak, who is back in full team training after returning from an ankle injury that he suffered in December. Slot has said Isak won’t start the game, but will likely come on for a few minutes.
