Manchester City (MCI) vs Liverpool (LIV) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Liverpool rested many of their players in the UEFA Champions League and will be well-rested ahead of this game. Mohamed Salah did not start against Benfica in the second leg and will look to make his mark this weekend.
Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are back to their best in the Premier League and will pose serious threats on both flanks. Manchester City have a swashbuckling full-back of their own in Joao Cancelo and will need their Portuguese star to step up in this game.
Sadio Mane is yet to hit his peak this season and will be eager to prove his mettle this weekend. With Kevin De Bruyne injured, the likes of Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez will need to bring their talents to the fore in the FA Cup.
