Pre-match information
Liverpool have passed the quarter-finals 17/19 times recently, despite losing 3-4 to Man United last season. They have also never been eliminated in the quarter-finals for two consecutive seasons since 1967-1970.
In round 5, Liverpool beat Wolves 3-1, but they have never won two away matches against Premier League teams in the same FA Cup campaign since the 2005-2006 season.
Man City is extremely formidable in this arena, winning 31 recent matches (excluding semi-finals and finals) since 2018. They are aiming for an eighth consecutive semi-final - a tournament record - and also own a 17-match home win streak in the FA Cup.
In terms of achievements, Liverpool has won the FA Cup 8 times, one more than Man City. City's last two titles came under Guardiola (2019, 2023), with 2023 being part of a treble.
Liverpool's most recent championship was in 2022 after defeating Chelsea in a penalty shootout. This match also marked Liverpool's first appearance since Mohamed Salah confirmed he would leave the club at the end of the season.
This will be the seventh time the two teams have met in the FA Cup. Man City won the first two times, but Liverpool have won all four of the most recent times, including the semi-finals of the 2021-2022 season.
However, City has won both encounters in the Premier League this season and has a chance to win 3 consecutive matches against Liverpool in all competitions for the first time since 1937.
