Start of match

  • PRVW
    The players are out on the pitch and we'll be underway shortly!
  • PRVW
    Robert Firmino will make history with a goal tonight. He already has eight in the Champions League this season, another would draw him level with Dean Saunders' clb record of nine in a single European campaign.
  • PRVW
    Alberto Moreno and Jordan Henderson are just a booking away from a suspension for Liverpool, whilst Danilo, Fernandinho and Ilkay Gundogan are all walking the disciplinary tightrope for the visitors.
  • PRVW
    A surprise from Manchester City as Raheem Sterling is dropped, with Pep Guardiola preferring to go with an extra man in midfield in the form of Ilkay Gundogan.
  • PRVW
    So, Liverpool line up largely as expected with their terrifying front three backed up by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Jordan Henderson.
  • PRVW
    Man City: Ederson; Walker, Kompany, Otamendi, Laporte; Fernandinho, Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan; Sane, Jesus. Sube: Bravo, Danilo, Stones, Sterling, Delph, Bernardo, Zinchenko
  • PRVW
    Liverpool: Karius; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Salah, Firmino, Mane. Subs: Mignolet, Clyne, Wijnaldum, Moreno, Ings, Solanke, Masterson.
  • PRVW
    Tonight will be Liverpool's first Champions League quarter-final since 2008. Will it be one of those special European nights at Anfield?
  • PRVW
    Liverpool have a psychological edge going into this one, with no manager having won more games against Pep Guardiola than Jurgen Klopp (five).
