For a second time in seven days England’s preeminent teams face off, this time at Wembley for a place in next month’s FA Cup final. Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool last played on Wednesday against Benfica, and he believes his side were sub-par in Sunday’s Premier League draw at Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s side also played on Wednesday, but were pushed harder in their ill-tempered Champions League draw at Atlético Madrid and have had to travel back from Spain, so Liverpool may have an edge. But City are not the best English team of the last four years for no reason. Jamie Jackson
