A week after playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw, title contenders Man City and Liverpool will meet up once again, this time in the FA Cup semi's.

Preview: Manchester City vs Liverpool

Six days after playing to an entertaining two-all draw at the Etihad, Manchester City and Liverpool will renew acquaintances. This time, the venue will be Wembley, and given that this the FA Cup semi's, a draw will not suffice. Both teams are in contention to win multiple trophies - in the case of Liverpool, an unprecedented quadruple is still on the cards. The draw last weekend also means that the Premier League title race won't be decided anytime soon, and could, in fact, end up going down to the final matchday.

Manchester City come into this tie having survived a nasty battle with an Atletico Madrid side determined to make things as unpleasant for Pep Guardiola's men as possible. Despite being unable to score against a doggedly defensive opponent, City are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League thanks to Kevin De Bruyne's goal from the first leg, where they will face Atleti's cross-town rivals Real Madrid in what should be a very entertaining two-legged contest. 

Meanwhile, Liverpool played out an exciting three-all draw at Anfield against a Benfica side who were determined to try to stay in this competition. In fact, had the Eagles not had a couple of goals called off for offside, the Portuguese side very well may have pulled off a shocking comeback to dump the Reds out of the competition.

But fortunately for Jurgen Klopp's team, their 3-1 win from the first leg proved to be the deciding factor, and they will face surprise package Villarreal - who sent Bayern Munich packing - in the semi's later this month. Although the Reds do look to be the heavy favorites there, the fact that the Yellow Submarine successfully sunk the Bavarian titans means that Unai Emery's side are not to be underestimated.

Champions League duties will be put on the back burner as both sides prep for this match. The winner of this tie will take on either Chelsea or Crystal Palace in this season's FA Cup final. Will it be Manchester City or Liverpool to make it to this year's final? We'll certainly find out this Saturday, but whether it's after 90 minutes of regular football, 120 minutes, or it goes down to spot kicks will be revealed this weekend.
