Very close to seeing Arsenal Vs Tottenham there.

City have been getting a lot favourable cup games in recent times, it's no wonder why they have been doing well in the cups.

Burton Albion will do them hopefully

for the second game in a row, Liverpool's fabled good fortune has abandoned them: the Stones clearance off the line and tonight Shaquiri's free defied science to stay out. Hopefully this'll go on for weeks....

Good to see we avoided Millwall and also have a favourable draw.

Well done Wolves beating Liverpool last night 2-1 in the FA Cup.

For a club that haven't won anything in 7 years you would really think that Liverpool would take the FA cup more seriously. 

Got what they deserved last night for fielding an entire 2nd string team, especially against Premier League opposition. 

Klopp putting all his hopes in a Premier League or Champions League victory? Risky.

Risky, yes but totally understandable.

Posted earlier in FA Cup 4th round thread, no denying that the FA Cup isn't viewed as it once was and it's no wonder clubs are concentrating on PL & CL that these days are seen as more prestigious and of course are far more lucrative.

I always think that fans will take so much more enjoyment out of winning a League Cup or FA Cup over finishing in the top 4 in the league or even making it into the last 16 of the Champions League. 

I understand clubs taking other competitions more seriously than others but throwing in the towel completely with a team selection like Klopp did is disappointing as a fan. 

So Liverpool can't win the treble now just the double - League and CL.

Also find myself questioning his selection too perhaps a sign despite his ever smiling face that below the surface he is paranoid about City.

A foolish move by Klopp, they had every chance to win the cup.

Ah but they lost because it was too windy, after the grass being too long at City Klopp has said. So this week the earth beat them at City, the wind beat them at wolves. I would be worried about flames whoever they are playing this weekend.

Did Klopp really moan about the length of the grass?

He wouldn't be the first. Brendan Rodgers complained about the length of the grass at Hearts when Celtic lost there this season.

Must be something in the Mersy that they’re drinking...

It looks like Spurs will continue to play at Wembley until at least March.

It's ok tho because they produce a lot of grate English talent

Rather predictably City are slaughtering Burton. 7-0 with half an hour to go. It's surely going to be over 15-0 on aggregate.

8-0 to city

They may as well not even bother with the 2nd leg 

Burton not out of this, so long as they can escape with this in single figures. Just need to keep it tight.
