'Always get easy draws' — Man City fans poke fun at Liverpool after FA Cup semi-final draw
21.03.2022 - 13:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City fans have been reacting to the news that they will face Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final.
The Blues booked their place in the last four prior to Sunday's draw by beating Southampton, while a late Diogo Jota goal fired Liverpool into the semi-finals as they saw off Nottingham Forest. Both teams have been at loggerheads in the race for the Premier League title and they will battle it out to reach the showpiece final at Wembley in May.
The season run-in also sees the pair lock horns twice around their respective Champions League quarter-finals. A point separates the two teams in the Premier League and they're set for a huge showdown next month at the Etihad, a potential title-decider.

City were knocked out at this stage of the FA Cup by Chelsea last season. This time around, they will be hoping to maintain the vigour that they showed in the second half at St Mary's to ruthlessly dispatch the Saints who had drawn level at 1-1 just before half-time.
Despite late calls for a penalty from the home fans at the City Ground, Jurgen Klopp's side held on to win 1-0, courtesy of Diogo Jota's goal, and book their date with Pep Guardiola's men. Here's how Blues fans reacted to the draw on Twitter:
Guardiola last led his side to FA Cup glory in 2019 when they overcame Watford 6-0. The semi-final is scheduled to be played on either April 16 or April 17 with Chelsea facing Crystal Palace on the other side of the draw.
