The most enticing affair of this year's FA Cup quarterfinals has been handed the early kickoff on Saturday as Manchester City host fellow Premier League giants Liverpool with a spot in the semifinals on the line.

Both sides were struggling in league play heading into the international break, with City having drawn two straight while Liverpool have failed to win three in a row.
