After an international hiatus, domestic football returns this weekend with the FA Cup<\/a> quarter-finals delivering an absolute barnburner between two of the country’s best teams in Manchester City<\/a> and Liverpool<\/a> on Saturday 4th April 12:45pm GMT kick-off.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides aren’t hitting previous heights during the current campaign, however, the pair remain an unstoppable force on their day, meaning Saturday’s FA Cup tie should be a tasty one for fans and neutrals alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Man City to Win &<\/strong> Both Teams To Score<\/strong><\/td>21\/10 @ <\/a>Bet365<\/a>
(32.3%)<\/td>		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Boosted by a potentially pivotal League Cup final victory over leaders Arsenal, City could have a claim to this trophy should they eliminate Liverpool. The Reds are an unpredictable entity this season, however, they have enough quality to get themselves onto the scoresheet.<\/td><\/tr>
Over 3.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>11\/8 @ Betfred<\/a>
(42.1%)<\/td>		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>With three goals being netted in each of the last two meetings, it’s worth a punt on 4+ goals being scored at the Etihad. This fixture has been no stranger to goals in the past, and if both teams are firing like we know they can, there’ll be plenty of goalmouth action at both ends in Manchester.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
