Manchester City take on the visitors Liverpool in quarterfinal match of English FA Cup. The match will be played on Saturday, April 4th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester City essentially failed their previous football year. They did not win a single trophy, and even lost the cup final to Crystal Palace F.C.. Ironically, in March they faced Real Madrid again in the very first playoff round of the UEFA Champions League — and lost once more, despite winning in Spain during the earlier stage. At the same time, domestically they are battling with Arsenal F.C.. They ended last month with the League Cup final, where they secured an unexpectedly convincing 2-0 victory. However, in the Premier League, after closing the gap to the leaders, they dropped points again with draws against Nottingham Forest F.C. and West Ham United F.C., allowing the “Gunners” to pull away. At the same time, their recent results show that the team is still capable of dominating matches when in rhythm. However, inconsistency in key moments continues to prevent them from maintaining a stable winning run.

Liverpool are mostly disappointing at the moment. The “Reds” expected difficulties last season after Jürgen Klopp left. However, under Arne Slot, they had an excellent first year in England, winning the Premier League convincingly. Now, there is little belief in a title defense — it is hard to expect much when losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. and dropping points against Tottenham Hotspur F.C. after conceding again in stoppage time. As a result, their realistic target is now simply to secure a top-four finish and return to the Champions League. In the current European campaign, they reached the Round of 16 directly but lost in Istanbul. At home against Galatasaray S.K., they responded with a convincing win, but in the latest Premier League round they lost again — this time to the inconsistent Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.. Their current form looks unstable, with frequent dropped points even against beatable opponents. Overall, the team lacks consistency and struggles to maintain results over a longer stretch.
In the previous championship-winning season, the “Reds” defeated the champions twice in the Premier League on their way to the title. However, in the 2025/2026 campaign, they took no points from two matches against Pep Guardiola’s side. Guardiola’s team are playing at home — the pick is Manchester City to beat the “Reds”.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win.
