Alan Shearer has predicted the outcome of the Manchester City versus Liverpool match in tonight's FA Cup quarterfinal.
Ahead of the 2025-26 English FA Cup quarterfinals on Saturday, 4 Apr 2026 GMT+7, a key match features the "Sky Blues" Manchester City hosting the "Reds" Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium.
Recently, Alan Shearer, former England national team striker turned football analyst, assessed the match's prospects, believing Manchester City will defeat Liverpool and even has a chance to win the tournament.
Man City will beat Liverpool.
Analysis: "The confidence and belief City gained from winning the Carabao Cup, and the manner in which they achieved it, will provide them with strong morale and determination to continue forward. There has been much discussion about Pep Guardiola's future—whether he will remain next season—but there has also been considerable talk about Liverpool’s poor form."
"Both clubs have issues to discuss, but I think Manchester City has enough potential to advance, and I believe they can go all the way to win the FA Cup."
Other match predictions by Shearer are as follows:
Chelsea will beat Port Vale; Southampton will lose to Arsenal; West Ham will defeat Leeds United.
