Manchester City vs Liverpool: Match Preview and Predicted Starting XI
Manchester City will be hosting Liverpool in the English Premier League title decider at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s men are currently third on the EPL log and 7 points behind Liverpool who are league leaders. Man. City need to win this match to revive their title chances while a draw will be satisfactory to Jurgen Klopp’s men. Both teams played a goalless draw earlier in the season at Anfield.
Although City have the home advantage, the Reds’ current form is the best in the league so far this season and they have the upper hand in terms of head to head.
Liverpool are still unbeaten in the EPL this season and have won 9 consecutive matches in the league with the humiliation of Manchester United and Arsenal on the way while City have lost 3 out of their last 5 matches.
