What is at stake for Man City and Liverpool?

Man City are still in the hunt for a domestic treble following their elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid last month, but Liverpool will be a stern test, even if they are not at their best this season.

The Citizens have also been inconsistent this term, and - aside from the chance to reach the FA Cup's semi-finals - another victory over their modern rivals could serve as a psychological boost as they chase down Arsenal in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have failed to defend their top-flight title in 2025-26, and given their Champions League quarter-final will see them up against Paris Saint-Germain, the FA Cup seems to be the Reds' most realistic chance of winning silverware.

Salah's departure could be a motivating factor for the Merseysiders at the end of a tough campaign, and the Egyptian's teammates will be hoping to progress on their way to giving one of the club's greatest ever players a potentially trophy-laden send off.
