Liverpool vs Man City: Team Updates and Expected Lineup Before FA Cup Encounter

Liverpool is set to face Man City in the FA Cup quarter-finals, presenting a crucial opportunity for the team. For Arne Slot, this match signifies more than just advancement; it is a chance to regain momentum and reestablish dominance after a season that has occasionally faltered.

Today, Liverpool will see the return of Mohamed Salah as they take on Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Reds missed their key forward during a 2-1 defeat at Brighton in their last match, as the Egyptian was sidelined due to a muscle injury.

This injury also kept him out of Egypt’s international matches over the past two weeks, but Arne Slot has confirmed that Salah, who announced last week his intention to leave the club in the summer, will be available for the trip to the Etihad Stadium.

Federico Chiesa, who had to leave Italy’s training camp early due to a minor issue, is also fit to play in this match.

In addition, there is positive news regarding summer signing Alexander Isak, who has returned to team training after suffering a leg fracture against Tottenham in December.

Although the Swedish player will not be starting in Manchester this weekend, he may still contribute from the bench.

However, there are some players missing for Slot, as first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker is out until the later stages of the season.

Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley, and Giovanni Leoni are also long-term absentees, although Jeremie Frimpong is expected to make his return.

With Alisson unavailable, Giorgi Mamardashvili will once again take the position in goal, while Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate will continue as the preferred central defensive duo.

Andy Robertson and Milos Kerkez will compete for the left-back position, while decisions regarding the midfield will depend on whether Dominik Szoboszlai is required at right-back.

This could create an opportunity for Curtis Jones in the midfield, or Florian Wirtz might return as the No10, supported by Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister behind him.

Hugo Ekitike has performed excellently in Isak’s absence and has quickly recovered from the injury he sustained at Brighton, while Salah is expected to start on the wing.

Predicted Liverpool XI (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike

Injured: Alisson, Leoni, Endo, Bradley

Doubt: Isak

Venue: Etihad Stadium, Manchester
