Man City vs Liverpool Live Mohamed Salah is fit to face Manchester City in today’s FA Cup semi-final, while Liverpool has opted to start Luis Diaz over Diogo Jota at Wembley.
Man City vs Liverpool Live Although the Reds boss made several changes to their starting lineup for Wednesday’s Champions League draw with Benfica, there were still some concerns with the game coming out of the box.
Diogo Jota’s knock made him a suspect for this match and he is on the bench, while Klopp assured fans that Salah was spotless with his short substitute performance. Both sides played out a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League last weekend, with City maintaining a one-point lead over their title rivals.
This time, the two will take on each other at Wembley Stadium, for a place in the FA Cup final.
Man City vs Liverpool Live Arsenal legend Merson could see the Reds getting better in Pep Guardiola’s side on Saturday.
Man City vs Liverpool Live ‘I got last week’s Premier League prediction right! Manchester City have played a 2-2 draw with Liverpool this month and I think Liverpool have a slight advantage in this game,’ Merson told Sportskeeda.
‘To be fair, City had a really tough game against Atletico Madrid. He had to travel this week, and it was also a very physical sport. Liverpool rested Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Fabinho in the Champions League and are almost certain to score goals this weekend.
Chelsea was knocked out of the Champions League after a 5–4 on aggregate loss against Real Madrid in midweek.
Man City vs Liverpool Live The Blues now turn their attention to the FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace, which Merson thinks Thomas Tuchel’s team will win.
‘Chelsea the second night against Real Madrid was excellent. Timo Werner could have scored five goals in the first half against Southampton, but he still has a long way to go at the club. He is scoring a great goal at the moment and could play a role against Crystal Palace,’ said Merson.
Werner, Havertz, and Mason Mount are Chelsea’s best front three at the moment. With Conor Gallagher unavailable for Crystal Palace, I see nothing but Chelsea win here
