A very close contest: revealing the stats of Pep vs. Slot before Manchester City faces Liverpool in the FA Cup quarterfinal.
On 4 Apr 2026 GMT+7, the head-to-head stats between Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot, the managers of the two teams, are unveiled ahead of Manchester City's clash with Liverpool in the 2025-26 FA Cup quarterfinal, kicking off today at 18:45 GMT+7.
Arne Slot recently moved from Feyenoord to manage Liverpool, succeeding Jürgen Klopp last season, giving him the chance to face Pep Guardiola four times in matches against Manchester City.
It turns out Arne Slot won the first two encounters in last season's Premier League before leading his team to the title, but this season Pep Guardiola has avenged those losses by guiding Manchester City to victories in both home and away league games.
This will be their first meeting in the FA Cup and will decide who has the upper hand between Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot. Manchester City, fresh from winning the Carabao Cup, is chasing a treble this season (Premier League, FA Cup).
Meanwhile, Liverpool is still competing for two cup trophies, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
