Man City 0-0 Liverpool

15: BIG CHANCE FOR SALAH!

Mamardashvili quickly launches the ball downfield for Salah, who initially gets the better of Khusanov in the area.

He only has Trafford to beat, but his touch is slightly loose and it gives Khusanov a chance to get his foot in and deflect his shot behind.

Latest: Man CityThere is still plenty of silverware for both Man City and Liverpool to win this season – so it will be intriguing to see if Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot go strong at the Etihad today.

City, who have already claimed the first trophy of the campaign after beating Arsenal in last month’s League Cup final, could be eyeing a domestic treble come the end of May. And after the club’s recent Champions League exit, Guardiola will now have a rare free week with his players to prepare for their crucial next league game at Chelsea on April 12.

City should therefore field their strongest line-up this weekend, but that may not be the case with the visitors, who could still win an FA Cup and Champions League double themselves this season, however unlikely that may seem.

Slot has more selection dilemmas for his side’s trip to Manchester, though, with Alisson Becker, Jeremie Frimpong and Mohamed Salah all injury doubts, while the Dutchman also has to factor in both Wednesday’s Champions League last-eight game at Paris Saint-Germain and the visit of Fulham three days later as the Reds chase a return to Europe’s premier club competition next season.

That trio of awkward-looking fixtures across three different competitions in a taxing seven-day spell means Slot will almost certainly have to juggle his playing resources at the Etihad, which may very well hand the initiative to the hosts in what is sure to be a closely-fought contest.
