It was a bit disrespectful."This could go any way, but I'm backing Manchester City simply because of how inconsistent Liverpool have been this season."Clinton Morrison - Man City winClinton Morrison believes there's significant pressure on Liverpool and that they will falter due to defensive issues. He told FreeBets: "There's massive pressure on Arne Slot here because this is the only chance Liverpool have of bringing silverware through the door this season."But I actually think the bigger priority for Liverpool right now is getting into the Champions League, that's more important than the FA Cup.
Liverpool have taken one point from their past three games and their last performance, in an away defeat at Brighton, was really insipid."I still think it would be extremely harsh if they end up parting ways after the guy won them the title in his first year in the job but this feels like a huge week or two for Slot, and for Liverpool's whole campaign, with the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Paris St-Germain to come in France on Wednesday."Right now, Liverpool are miles off the team they were last season and beating City probably feels more achievable than getting past PSG. I'm not convinced they will do it though, and if they end up going out of both competitions in the space of 10 days then the Liverpool fans are going to be even more disgruntled."City are already out of Europe, and it will be hard, but not impossible, for them to win the Premier League from here, but Pep has already landed the Carabao Cup and he always takes the FA Cup seriously anyway.
I just have a feeling they will take this one as well."Alan Shearer - Man City winAlan Shearer believes City's recent Carabao Cup win will boost their confidence and they could go all the way to the FA Cup final. Obviously, there’s a lot of talk about Liverpool and how poor they’ve been."For both clubs, there are huge talking points, but I think City will have enough to get through and I think they could go all the way in the FA Cup."Buy Blood Red, our monthly Liverpool FC print publication for just £3.50 by clicking hereWatch the FA Cup on TNT SportsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
