Manchester City's Mario Balotelli and Liverpool's Jamie Carragher in action
A fine first-half display from Liverpool ended the match as a contest before half-time.
Liverpool's record signing Andy Carroll scored his first goals for his new club as Manchester City suffered not only a blow to their Champions League aspirations at Anfield but their FA Cup ambitions too.
The £35m striker struck twice in his sixth match since arriving in January from Newcastle United as the Reds kept alive their hopes of European football next season by moving to within five points of Tottenham Hotspur.
Dirk Kuyt slotted his 11th of the campaign in between Carroll's double as fourth-placed City, who are just three points ahead of Spurs having played a match more, lost leading scorer Carlos Tevez to injury just five days before their cup semi-final against Manchester United.
