English teams drawn together for Champions League quarter-finals

Many players from all the teams in the draw had claimed they didn't want to face a rival from their domestic league, including Gini Wijnaldum, who professed that he would rather avoid playing City. Unfortunately for him it was not to be. 

The two teams have already played out two memorable clashes in the Premier League this year. City won the first following a red card for Sadio Mane that did not go down well in some parts of Merseyside. 

However, Liverpool exacted their revenge in the return fixture. In one of the all time great Premier League games, they ran out 4-3 winners and ended the unbeaten run of Pep Guardiola's side in spectacular fashion. 

Now they will go toe to toe again, this time under lights on a Champions League night in what promises to be an intimidating atmosphere. The other ties draw out the hat are as follows: Barcelona v Roma, Sevilla v Bayern and Juventus v Real Madrid. 

The first leg will take place at Anfield on April 3rd/4th with the return leg taking place a week later at the Etihad Stadium on either the 12th or 13th.
