Liverpool vs Manchester City Tips & Preview – The Titans Collide With The Summit Spot At Stake

The top two ranked clubs in the English Premier League this season will clash in a high-octane game on Sunday. 

League leaders Liverpool will host second-placed Manchester City at Anfield, where the stakes are insurmountably high, as only one point separates the two clubs.

Both teams are in fantastic form, and the last time these two met at the Etihad Stadium, the fixture ended in a stalemate at 1-1. A draw will do neither club a favour this time because Arsenal are just two points off the top, and a stalemate could put just one point between the three clubs if the Gunners win their next game.

The hosts are coming into this game with a seven-match winning streak in all competitions, with four consecutive victories in the Premier League. However, Klopp’s lengthy injury list may cause concern. Liverpool will be without Allison Becker, Trent-Alexander Arnold, Curtis Jones, and Diogo Jota. Mohamed Salah is expected to be available and will play a vital role against a formidable opponent like City. 

On the other hand, Manchester City secured a morale-boosting victory over local rivals Manchester United in the derby on Sunday, as they overcame a 0-1 deficit to triumph 3-1. Youngster Phil Foden is in amazing form, as he nabbed a brace against United, while Erling Haaland added another goal to his kitty. Pep Guardiola’s men have not lost a Premier League game since December 6 and are playing fantastic football with Kevin De Bruyne back in form. 

While Liverpool have the home advantage where the Anfield crowd is intimidating for all visitors, City’s away form is only second best to that of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Guardiola’s side have won their last ten away games in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have won nine of their last ten games at Anfield, with one draw against Manchester United. Sunday’s game could swing either way; however, with a clash of two titans, a draw is the most probable result.
