Manchester United take on the visitors Liverpool in the quarterfinal match of English FA Cup. The match will be played on Sunday, February 17th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United are in their second season under ten Hag. Eric debuted successfully after moving from the Netherlands, although not without questions, both on the field (a series of painful defeats and a lackluster exit from the Europa League against crisis-ridden Sevilla, albeit ultimately winning the trophy), and in the dressing room (Ronaldo's scandalous departure to Saudi Arabia). They managed to win a trophy, albeit in the form of the League Cup, and in the Premier League, they achieved the goal of finishing in 3rd place. But then everything changed: lacking a harmonious atmosphere with the players (including Sancho's departure and Rashford's problems, among others), the coaching staff of the Mancunians fell far short of success in tournaments. Their return to the Champions League was particularly disastrous, where the Englishmen lost not only to Bayern but also to Galatasaray and Copenhagen (for comparison, City won twice against the Danes in the round of 16 with a score of 3-1). They were also defeated 0-3 by Newcastle, the finalist of the previous cycle, in the League Cup. In the Premier League, there were enough setbacks to question their place in the European spots, and the top 4 seems out of reach. Even though they managed to beat Everton. In general, only in the cup can the Mancunians salvage their reputation.

Liverpool continues its quest for the quadruple. In the last round of the Premier League, the Reds played a crucial match. They faced their main rival this season, and overall during Klopp and Guardiola's era, Manchester City. It ended in a fair 1-1 draw. In any case, Jurgen will leave (this will happen in the summer - the German announced his decision back in winter) not without trophies. In late February, a tough final match at Wembley ended with van Dijk's goal in extra time against Chelsea and, consequently, victory in the League Cup. Less than 3 days later, Klopp's kindergarten crushed Southampton 3-0 with goals from 18-year-olds Kumasa and Denns in the previous round. But then the team, with a full infirmary, played with a packed schedule. However, they thrashed Sparta Prague 5-1 in the Europa League, although luck was on their side, and the scoreline didn't reflect the game. In the end, they settled the matter there, but at home against the Czechs, there was another spectacular victory.
Ten Hag considers the 2-1 home victory over the Reds as one of his first successes in the Premier League. However, later in the season, the Mancunians crushed them 7-0. In contrast, Manchester United's visit to Anfield in December ended goalless with a 0-0 finish. The Reds are considered clear favorites even at Old Trafford. However, considering Klopp's squad rotation policy, it's worth betting on over 3.0 goals in total.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
