To preview the emphatic Champions League tie between Liverpool and Manchester City, I have compiled my combined Liverpool & Manchester City XI.

The Champions League quarterfinal fixture which has caught the eyes of most is that of Liverpool vs Manchester City. Many are predicting the score, looking back at previous encounters, etc. but I decided to compare the individual players. That said, I have created a combined Liverpool & Manchester City XI.

Liverpool put an end to City’s league unbeaten run, but will they be able to get the better of them in the Champions League? Many are predicting Liverpool to get the edge over Pep Guardiola’s men, but are City just too strong? There are many unanswered questions.

It will be an end-to-end game, there is no denying that. Both teams pride themselves on a fiery attack, with the iconic Liverpool front three scoring goals for fun this season. It may be a case of which defense wants it more, and while many shake off Liverpool’s defensive prowess, it’s important to remember that they have a rather impressive defensive record.

If you want to read into fixture in more depth, we have previewed the match, as well as giving our prediction. Without further ado, here is my combined Liverpool & Manchester City XI.
