It will be smoky and messy as Manchester City and Liverpool renew their rivalry having both come from booking their spots at the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. The two will meet at Wembley Stadium for the Emirates FA Cup semifinal only a week after an entertaining Premier League showdown that ended in a 2-2 draw living up to the much hype that had come prior to the game. The winner of tomorrow's tie will be bidding to face either Chelsea or Crystal Palace in the final match of the showpiece competition still, at the Wembley Stadium which plays host to the England national team. 

The reigning EPL champions come into the match boasting of eliminating the LaLiga titleholders Atletico Madrid from the UCL competition. Kevin de Bruyne's strike in the first leg of the fixture was all that Guardiola's side needed to make the Premier League top of the table reach the UCL final four. They are now set to face the 12 times UCL champions Real Madrid pitting again England's city of Manchester against Spain's capital, Madrid. The dream of a season's treble is very much alive for the Manchester club.
 

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool have been giving City a run in their EPL title defense as they are just behind them in the table by only one point and they boast 5 goals more in goal difference. The Reds head to the Wembley stadium having come from a match that they fought really hard against Portuguese power house, Benfica Lisbon to get into the UCL semis. It was a thriller that saw 6 goals netted with Roberto Firmino's brace and Ibrahima Konate's strike cancelling out the 3 goals scored by Benfica. Never before have Liverpool managed to reach the semis of the Champions League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup in one season. The Carabao cup is already in their trophy cabinet and they are staring at a treble if not a quadruple if City are to slip even the slightest bit in the EPL run. 

City and Liverpool have been described to be recent EPL rivals with such kind of rivalry seen at the beginning of the millennium between Arsene Wenger's Arsenal and Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United. Though most analyst agree that Guardiola's City and Klopp's Liverpool have taken their rivalry a notch higher pushing each other to achieving insane EPL points in the recent four seasons. Not even a draw tomorrow at Wembley Stadium will save these two familiar foes who boast of almost equal strength in attack, defense, and ball possession as a winner who will play Chelsea or Crystal Palace will have to be decided even if it will mean that the match will have to go through the penalty shoot out to find a winner.
