Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has heaped praise on departing Liverpool star Mohamed Salah. Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final match between the two sides will be Salah's final game against City for the Reds.

Both sides have enjoyed a memorable rivalry in recent years – particularly when Jurgen Klopp was manager at Anfield. No one outside of Liverpool and City have won the Premier League title since Chelsea in 2016/17, with the Reds claiming two and Guardiola's team winning six during that period.
