Champions League draw: Liverpool to play Manchester City in quarter-finals

Anfield will hold the first leg of the quarter-final tie, which will be played on April 3 or 4 with the second leg to be held on April 10 or 11

Liverpool will play Premier League leaders Manchester City in an all-English Champions League quarter-final.

Anfield will hold the first leg of the quarter-final tie, which will be played on April 4 with the second leg to be held on April 10.

Jurgen Klopp’s side reached the quarter-final stage after hammering Porto in the Round of 16, with a resounding 5-0 victory at the Estadio do Dragao ahead of a routine goalless draw at Anfield.

Pep Guardiola’s side meanwhile reached the quarters after beating Swiss side FC Basel 5-2 on aggregate.

The two sides have already played each other twice in the Premier League this season, with one win apiece.

City thrashed Liverpool 5-0 back in September, in a dramatic match which saw Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane score twice after Reds forward Sadio Mane was sent off.

But in January Liverpool gained their revenge, as they became the first and only team to beat City in the league this season. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah all got on the scoresheet.

Elsewhere, Serie A champions Juventus were handed the chance to avenge last year’s Champions League final defeat by Real Madrid when the two sides were drawn together in the quarter-finals.

Juventus, who lost last season’s final 4-1, will host the first leg in Turin against the defending champions.

In another Spain vs Italy tie Barcelona will play Roma, while the other remaining Spanish team, Sevilla, play the Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
