This weekend in Premier League, Manchester City will host the red Merseyside and hope to maintain the pressure on current league leaders, Arsenal.
While Phil Foden's certain absence might cause a few worries for Pep Guardioloa's side, Liverpool will also miss the services of Luis Diaz and possibly Darwin Nunez. On the other hand, the Norwegian striker, Erling Haaland is still doubtful due to his recent groin injury which forced him to miss the international games too.
Adding more to Liverpool's woes, Naby Keita, Thiago and Calvin Ramsay are still sidelined.
Despite an underwhelming start to the season, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool will like to create some problems for the blues of Manchester. Meanwhile, Manchester City comes as a favourite for this game and will try to not lose any further ground in the title race.
Throughout the whole season so far, Liverpool's high defensive line has been exposed on plenty of occasions. Further, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota's mediocre performances have also caused many issues for Jurgen Klopp.
As a result, we fancy the chances of Man City coming out on top of this game and eventually clinching all three points. However, a tough battle from Merseyside is undoubtedly arriving as the Reds would like to increase their chances of ending in the top four.
Final Result: Manchester City 3 - Liverpool 1
Manchester City: Ederson, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, Rodri, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez, Jack Grealish.
Liverpool: Alisson, Trent-Alexander Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Stefan Bajcetic, Fabinho, Harvey Elliot, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez.
