Match Preview
Anfield – Premier League leaders Manchester City take a trip to Anfield for the Wednesday’s quarter-final first leg against Liverpool.
The home team’s front three have made a plenty of headlines this season, and have already trumped City over 4-3 in the league clash. The concern for Jurgen Klopp will be the backline, which struggled for long periods against Crystal Palace.
The Scousers will draw inspiration from the fact that they are undefeated in their last 17 home matches against Man City in all competitions.
Manchester City will be without their talismanic forward, Sergio Agüero. However, City’s confidence would still be outstandingly high, for their Premier League exploits.
