There have only been three wins by Premier League clubs in the last 17 knockout phase home matches over the past four seasons (D6 L8). Previous meetings • While this is a first Liverpool-City game in Europe, the teams have met on 178 occasions in English football. Liverpool have won 87 of those contests to City's 45, with 46 draws. • In this season's Premier League, City were 5-0 winners in Manchester on 9 September. Sergio Agüero gave the home side a 24th-minute lead and, after the visitors had lost Sadio Mané to a red card following a challenge on City goalkeeper Ederson, further strikes either side of half-time from Gabriel Jesus and a late Leroy Sané double completed an ultimately comfortable win. • Liverpool turned the tables on City at Anfield on 14 January, inflicting a first – and so far only – defeat of the Premier League season on Josep Guardiola's side with a 4-3 victory in an epic encounter. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gave the Reds an early lead and, though Sané levelled shortly before half-time, three goals in ten second-half minutes from Roberto Firmino, Mané and Mohamed Salah put Liverpool 4-1 up. They needed that cushion after Bernardo Silva and İlkay Gündoğan struck in the final six minutes, holding on for a memorable win. • This is the sides' third two-legged knockout tie. Liverpool won both previous encounters, both in the English League Cup semi-finals: 2-1 on aggregate in 1980/81 and 3-2 in 2011/12. On both occasions, the Merseyside club went on to win the trophy. Match background Liverpool • Liverpool have won nine of their previous 13 European Cup quarter-finals: 2008/09 Chelsea FC L 5-7 (1-3 h, 4-4 a) 2007/08 Arsenal FC W 5-3 (1-1 a, 4-2 h) 2006/07 PSV Eindhoven W 4-0 (3-0 a, 1-0 h) 2004/05 Juventus W 2-1 (2-1 h, 0-0 a) 2001/02 Bayer 04 Leverkusen L 3-4 (1-0 h, 2-4 a) 1984/85 FK Austria Wien W 5-2 (1-1 a, 4-1 h) 1983/84 SL Benfica W 5-1 (1-0 h, 4-1 a) 1982/83 Widzew Łódź L 3-4 (0-2 a, 3-2 h) 1981/82 PFC CSKA Sofia L 1-2 (1-0 h, 0-2 a) 1980/81 PFC CSKA Sofia W 6-1 (5-1 h, 1-0 a) 1977/78 SL Benfica W 6-2 (2-1 a, 4-1 h) 1976/77 AS Saint-Étienne W 3-2 (0-1 a, 3-1 h) 1964/65 1. FC Köln W 2-2, Liverpool won on coin toss (0-0 a, 0-0 h, 2-2 n) • Liverpool have played eight previous two-legged knockout ties against fellow English sides, with the aggregate record W5 L3. Most recently they beat City's local rivals Manchester United FC in the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League round of 16 (2-0 home, 1-1 away), Firmino scoring in the first game at Anfield. • The Reds have played six European Cup ties against domestic rivals, beginning against Nottingham Forest FC in the 1978/79 first round (0-2 away, 0-0 home). • Their remaining five all-English ties have all come in the UEFA Champions League era: 2004/05 semi-finals: Chelsea FC W 1-0 (0-0 a, 1-0 h) 2006/07 semi-finals: Chelsea FC W 4-1pens (0-1 a, 1-0 h aet) 2007/08 quarter-finals: Arsenal FC W 5-3 (1-1 a, 4-2 h) 2007/08 semi-finals: Chelsea FC L 3-4 (1-1 h, 2-3 a aet) 2008/09 quarter-finals: Chelsea FC L 5-7 (1-3 h, 4-4 a) 4 Liverpool FC - Manchester City FC Wednesday 4 April 2018 - 20.45CET (19.45 local time) Match press kit Anfield, Liverpool • Liverpool also played out two goalless draws against Chelsea in the 2005/06 group stage. • Their record against fellow English clubs in Europe overall is therefore W5 D8 L5; at home it is W5 D3 L1, that 2009 Chelsea reverse the sole defeat. • Jürgen Klopp's side are unbeaten at home in this season's UEFA Champions League, picking up seven points at Anfield in the group stage. They drew 2-2 with Sevilla FC before a 3-0 scalp of NK Maribor and wrapped up first place in Group E with a 7-0 dismantling of FC Spartak Moskva. In the round of 16, a 5-0 success at FC Porto preceded a goalless second leg on Merseyside.
