City continue their pursuit of silverware across multiple competitions, while Liverpool see this as a major opportunity to secure a trophy in an inconsistent season.
Betting Preview
Manchester City come into this clash with their usual dominance in possession and chance creation, but recent form has shown some inconsistency. They have dropped points in multiple recent matches and have not been as clinical in front of goal, with even key players struggling for rhythm at times.
At home, however, City remain one of the strongest sides in England, particularly in the FA Cup, where they have been extremely consistent. Their ability to control games through midfield and create sustained pressure makes them favourites, especially at the Etihad.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have also shown mixed form. While capable of producing high-quality attacking performances, their inconsistency, particularly away from home, remains a concern. However, they have historically performed well in big games and have avoided defeat in several recent visits to City, highlighting their ability to rise to the occasion.
Expect both teams to create chances, but also periods of caution, given the knockout stakes.
