Guéhi returns as City make one change for Liverpool FA Cup clash City make one change for Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final at home to Liverpool. Men's Team Pep: I know what Foden is capable of Marc Guéhi comes into Pep Guardiola’s starting eleven for the Etihad clash with the Anfield side. From the side that began our Carabao Cup final win against Arsenal last time out, Nathan Ake reverts to the bench.

Otherwise, the boss sticks with the players who overcame the Gunners at Wembley to lift the first trophy of the season. Josko Gvardiol, John Stones and Ruben Dias are all unavailable for selection through injury. Teams CITY XI: Trafford, Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, O’Reilly, Rodrigo, Bernardo (C), Semenyo, Cherki, Doku, Haaland.

Subs: Donnarumma, Reijnders, Ake, Marmoush, Kovacic, Nico, Ait-Nouri, Savinho, Foden. LIVERPOOL: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Jones, Salah, Wirtz, Ekitike Subs: Woodman, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Gakpo, Robertson, Frimpong, Nyoni, Morrison, Ngumoha Men's Team One Moment in Time: Stones' title-winning clearance Tactics James Trafford retains his place in goal and the goalkeeper, who won his first England cap late last month, will be shielded by a back four of Matheus Nunes, Guéhi, Abdukodir Khusanov and Nico O’Reilly. Rodri will be deployed as the holding midfielder with Bernardo Silva and Rayan Cherki also expected to be in the City engine room.

Erling Haaland will be City’s focal point up front with Antoine Semenyo and Jeremy Doku set to provide the width in the Blues forward line. However, such is City’s attacking and tactical fluidity that formation could well be subject to change. Up for the Cup Under Pep Guardiola’s inspired stewardship City have established a quite remarkable record in the FA Cup.
