You could be forgiven for getting a spot of deja vu from this game, because this is the third time Manchester City and Liverpool have met in the past seven weeks.
In late February, they contested the Carabao Cup final, with Liverpool winning 11-10 on penalties after a tight game. Then, last week, they took each other on in the Premier League, with the score there 2-2 after a far more entertaining and open match.
Both sides played on Wednesday in the Champions League quarter-finals, and both won went through to the last four after a second-leg draw. Man City's game with Atlético Madrid finished 0-0 on the night and 1-0 overall, but it was a bad-tempered affair that included a mass brawl in the tunnel. It also left Kyle Walker injured, although Kevin De Bruyne is fit enough to make the bench today.
Liverpool, in contrasts, were able to rest key players for their 3-3 draw with Benfica that saw them triumph 6-4 on aggregate. Forwards Mo Salah and Sadio Mané each only played around 30 minutes, as did midfielders Thiago and Jordan Henderson. Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson didn't play at all. All but Henderson return to the starting line up today.
Here's how they line up:
Manchester City: Steffen, Cancelo, Stones, Ake, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Jesus, Sterling
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Keita, Diaz, Mané, Salah
