Roy Keane, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher are all in agreement ahead of Liverpool traveling to take on Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals this weekend.

Arne Slot's men lost 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season in the Premier League and head into the clash as second-favorites to progress to the final four of the competition, just a few days before a daunting trip to PSG in the Champions League.

And the Stick To Football pundits were all on the same page when it comes to a prediction for the scoreline. They all went for a home win, with Manchester City looking in better form over the last few weeks.

"Liverpool are so bad," Keane said. "You know, one of the worst performances I've seen this season was Liverpool at Nottingham Forest — I know I'm going back six or eight weeks. I said they were bad champions."

He predicted a 2-1 win for Manchester City, with Neville and Carragher going for 3-1 to Pep Guardiola's side. In the event of a draw, there will be extra-time, with a place at Wembley for the semi-finals at stake.

"Excited," Slot said this week when previewing the game. "This is what we worked for throughout the season, to be involved in games like this.

"Of course, we probably played the toughest opponents you can face as well in the FA Cup as in the Champions League, but you always know if you end up in the quarter-finals that these are teams you can face. It's exciting for us.

"I think it's also for them challenging to play Liverpool. As we know, we played Paris Saint-Germain last season in the round of 16, now in the quarter-finals and both of these games were a joy to watch.

"I watched them back — both of them — I liked the one at Anfield a little bit more than the one in Paris, although we won in Paris and lost at Anfield.

"But [we’re] really looking forward to it. We've shown so many times this season that we can be a very good team.

"Unfortunately, we've also shown this season a few times that we look vulnerable, and we have to get the best out of ourselves as we've had many times this season.

"But that's what we need definitely again in the upcoming weeks to do what we want to do and that is to continue our run in both cups and qualify for the Champions League next season."

Liverpool.com says: It is hard to make the case for the Reds going to Manchester City and winning, but they will give it their best. The one thing they really won't want is extra-time to extend the exertion during a massive week.
