Manchester City v LiverpoolPep Guardiola’s City were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League in the knockout phase round on Wednesday by Real Madrid, as Kylian Mbappe tore them to shreds in the Santiago Bernabeu.

Liverpool and Aston Villa will meet in a Premier League clash on Wednesday at Villa Park in Birmingham. The Reds are looking to extend their lead in the standings and a win over Aston could give them a 10-point lead over Arsenal.

With the ascension of Omar Marmoush, Mo Salah won’t be the only Egyptian star on the field when Liverpool clashes with City. After netting a hat trick against Newcastle in just 14 minutes, a firing Marmoush would certainly bring Guardiola a measure of relief, especially if Haaland remains compromised.
