The eyes of Europe will be on the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday as Manchester City face an uphill battle to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

But this season, from Liverpool’s perspective it feels more like an ill-timed intermission in an engrossing film that the Champions League quarter finals promise to be.
