Manchester City will face Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the English Cup
After the victory in the Carabao Cup final and the latest international break of the current season, Manchester City will face one of their main rivals, Liverpool, in the quarter-finals of the English Cup. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Josh Webb, an expert from Cityxtra.co.uk, analyzed which players Josep Guardiola might use in the match scheduled for April 4. According to the expert, the "Citizens" will take the field with the following lineup in the English Cup quarter-final match at the Etihad Stadium.
James Trafford will be in goal. He has made his debut for the England national team and has the opportunity to protect the team's goal with consecutive saves made in the Carabao Cup final.
Trafford aims to improve his efficiency in cup matches. In defense, Mateusz Nunes has shown good performance as an important wing-back.
Considering the strength of the opponent, he is a safe and effective option. Also, Abduqodir Husanov was named the team's best player twice this season.
His speed and strength will be an effective response against Liverpool's attackers. Nathan Ake showed good play in the Carabao Cup final and can perform at a high level in the most important matches.
Although Ryan Ait-Nouri is on the bench, with his current form he is a good candidate for the starting lineup and is capable of breaking the opponent's defense with his speed. In midfield, Nico Gonzalez showed excellent play at the start of the season.
If Rodri leaves the club in the summer, he could take the field as City's main defensive midfielder. Also, Nico O'Reilly and Bernardo Silva have played decisive roles in many important matches and are the most suitable candidates to effectively manage the midfield in the cup.
In the attack line, Savio has been showing his potential in recent matches and could have a big impact in the fifth round of the English Cup. Umar Marmush, although having limited opportunities as a substitute, is waiting for the chance to participate in the starting lineup in the cup.
Jeremy Doku, after recovering from injury at the start of the season, is a worthy candidate for the starting lineup against Liverpool. The starting lineup is as follows: Trafford; Nunes, Husanov, Ake, Ait-Nouri; Nico, O'Reilly, Bernardo; Savio, Marmush, Doku.
On the bench are Donnarumma, Dias, Gexi, Rodri, Reynders, Foden, Semenyo, Cherki, and Haaland. What is especially interesting for fans is that Guardiola's team will try new strategies and tactical combinations in this match.
Every player must prove themselves, as in recent matches goals have often been scored from other positions. Every move is important for victory in the English Cup.
