In a break from their Premier League title tussle, Manchester City and Liverpool face off in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The two English sides have bigger fish to fry in other competitions, but that will not stop Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp from doing all they can to reach the FA Cup final.

Neither side has any major injury concerns to worry about, so they should both field strong starting line-ups in this mouthwatering tie.

But who will come out on top?

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of today’s match.

When is Manchester City vs Liverpool?

The match will kick off at 3:30pm BST on Saturday 16 April.

How can I watch it online and on TV?

It will be shown live on BBC1 from 3pm and is also available online via the BBC iPlayer.

Confirmed line-ups

Manchester City: Steffen; Cancelo, Stones, Ake, Zinchenko; Fernandinho, Bernardo, Foden; Grealish, Jesus, Sterling

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago, Keita; Diaz, Mane, Salah

Odds

Manchester City: 13/10

Draw: 45/17

Liverpool: 23/10

Prediction

As well as wanting to reach the FA Cup final, Liverpool will also be keen to make a statement as they continue to chase Manchester City down in the Premier League. Expect them to come out of the blocks fast and potentially edge this one in another pulsating contest. 2-1 Liverpool.
