Pep Guardiola is 'praying' his Manchester City players return from the international duty fit and well as they prepare to take on Liverpool after the break.
City surged into the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Saturday after beating Championship leaders Burnley while Jurgen Klopp's side were given the weekend off. The Reds were due to play Fulham in the league, but the London outfit had FA Cup commitments of their own.
Reigning Premier League champions City are eight points behind Arsenal in the title race, but do have a game in hand while Liverpool are seven points off fourth spot.
