Manchester City has come down calmly in Liverpool before the match tonight at Anfield in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

City stars Kevin de Bruyne, Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus are expected to hold an easy training session before the start of the meeting. Their coach, Pep Guardiola, is seen smiling ahead of the challenge, which will of course be extremely difficult. However, the Spanish technician hopes that his team will have the same shape as in the September 9, 2017 match, where they won the 5-0 deep in “Etihad.” The only lack of importance for the “Citizens” will be Argentine star Sergio Aguero.

Guardiola himself confirmed that the 29-year-old will not play due to a continuing knee problem while pointing out he will be ready for the weekend’s confrontation with United rivals. City and Liverpool are the only English teams that have reached this round of Champions this season and for their bad luck the lottery faced each other. The rivalry between these two teams and the quality of the players they have will make the challenge extremely tough. Despite the 5-0 defeat at Etihad, Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp is the only team that has managed to beat 4-3 Pep teams in January.

“The Reds” hope in the fantastic form that their star, Mohamad Salah, is going to pass successfully this round and go to the semifinals. The match will be played tonight at 20:45 at Anfield./Flashsport24
