The Gunners are currently nine points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men, although the Citizens did strike a psychological blow by winning the EFL Cup against Mikel Arteta’s side last month to secure the first silverware of the season.
Out of the Champions League and adrift in the Premier League, the FA Cup may be the only other opportunity that Manchester City get as they host Liverpool, who are even further back in the top flight after an extremely disappointing title defence.
As a result this Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final has much more significance than usual in what has been one of the defining rivalries in recent English football history.
The stakes will be even higher for the Reds given the fact that this is their first game since Mo Salah announced that he will be departing at the end of the season, with this competition and the Champions League his last chance to leave on a high by adding to his considerable trophy cabinet.
