Liverpool vs Manchester City Match Preview

Liverpool will host Manchester City in a game that could be quite deciding for the title race. They are ranked first with 31 points and have a six point advantage from their rivals, which could turn to nine if they win. And to do so Klopp will be able to rely on a fully fit team and the trio Mane-Firminho-Salah is expected to break the defensive lines of Guardiola. Liverpool has been just amazing this season dropping only two points on the road against Manchester United. At home they have scored 14 goals so far, averaging almost three goals per game and I expect the Reds to give another good performance.

Manchester City, on the other side, is ranked at the 4th place for now, after Chelsea and Leicester both won their games. They will have even more pressure for this game now. And they do not come in the best conditions to handle this pressure, as they are struggling with injuries. To Laporte, Silva, Sane, Zinchenko and Rodri has joined also their goalkeeper Ederson who picked up an injury in the Champions League game. If Bravo starts that will be a big blow for the defensive maneuver of Man City, as he lacks the organizational chemistry with the guys in front since he hasn't even played a single game in months.

In conclusion, I do not see Liverpool losing this game which is why I go with the safe option securing also the draw. They are playing very good, come in a good form and with their best players while City will miss important pieces for this duel.
