Sutton's FA Cup predictions v boxer Richard Riakporhe
Manchester City lifted the Carabao Cup before the international break, but can they book a swift return to Wembley by beating Liverpool in their FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday? "This has been a far-from-perfect season for City, and all the speculation about Pep Guardiola's future probably doesn't help, but they could still finish it with two cups," said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. "Some of their fans would probably still be disappointed with that, but they shouldn't be.

Riakporhe is challenging Jeamie 'TKV' Tshikeva for the British heavyweight title on Saturday, 11 April at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They meet on the undercard of Tyson Fury's comeback fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov and the event is being shown live on Netflix.
"I've been talking and watching so much boxing for the past couple of months," Riakporhe said. "So it's nice to talk about football again now. " Do you agree with their scores?

"When I was younger, there were a few years where my brother and I used to play every single day," he told BBC Sport. "Our dream was to play for Palace and nothing else mattered.
