Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has no qualms about taking on Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final.

The Reds were rewarded for defeating Nottingham Forest in the quarter-final on Sunday by drawing their Premier League title rivals.

The game will take place at Wembley, and is around the same time that Liverpool and City will lock horns in the Premier League.

Asked about the match-up, Klopp said post-game: "We are in between... we start with Watford, Benfica then City, City, United, Everton.

"From a Liverpool perspective these are all massive games, so we will try to play them once at a time and not altogether. It will not be possible.

"Before the game, [we knew] obviously City would be the opponents if you want to go to the final anyway. The further you go in whichever competition, it is likely you will face City at one point.

"And this year that you will face us at one point, I don't think we are the dream draw for anybody. But it will be a tough one, we have to make sure we make it tough for City as well. There are a lot of games to play before then."
