Liverpool vs Man City

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool take on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon, with just a point separating the two title rivals at the ...

Firmino is an important cog in Klopp's Liverpool machine, playing 320 games for the club since arriving from Hoffenheim in the summer of 2015. "If you’re going by form, Mo wouldn’t get in the team," Aldridge told Sky Sports News. "As good as he is, as great as he is, as much as we love him, on present form he’s struggling. "[But] not Ruben." Dias is expected to return later this month. The German's only other injury concern is Fabinho, who suffered a nasty clash of heads in Liverpool's most recent game against Benfica. He had a cut on the back of his head and, obviously, there is no hair that could hold the blood back. The Reds are looking to achieve a famous win against their Premier League title rivals on Sunday afternoon.

Man City play Liverpool on Sunday afternoon in a showdown which could decide the Premier League title.

On the title race, Foden added: "It will feel better if one of us just wins instead of someone running away with the league. During an interview with Sky Sports, the England star said: "Two teams fighting for the Premier League, very close on points. Manchester City starlet Phil Foden is relishing the prospect of taking on Liverpool this Sunday afternoon with such high stakes involved.

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is fully aware of the threats Liverpool will pose when the sides meet on Sunday.

I think he is one of the best passers I have ever seen. That is a threat they have and one we will be watching out for," admitted Foden. On the rising tensions witnessed between the two clubs in recent years, Foden told Sky Sports : "I think it has grown recently because we have been very close to winning the league many times, and now it is massive.

Liverpool and City then lock horns again next Saturday in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley Stadium. They are two matches that football fans simply cannot wait ...

“The message was to play the extra pass, which we didn’t do in the first half at all. Yes. But we have to admit today, because the game has two halves, the point is completely fine.” All these things we changed in the second half immediately. Do we want to win a game like this? “We had long balls, which made absolutely no sense. Klopp told Sky Sports: “Man City with the ball is a proper team,” Klopp told Sky Sports. “There are ways to defend it – you have to close down the spaces, and to do that you have to step out in specific moments.

27 March 1968. Manchester City (without a league title since 1937) played away at Manchester United (without a league title since 1967) sitting two points ...

But, though Roberto Firmino cancelled out Sergio Agüero’s opener, Leroy Sané’s goal settled one of the finest games ever played in England. City went on to win 16 from 17 to take the title by a point. When they travelled to the Etihad for the now traditional New Year’s Day fixture played not on New Year’s Day, they led Manchester City by seven. A crashing header on half-time from Vincent Kompany powered City to the top and towards a title they would win amid historic chaos. For Sergio Agüero’s 93.20 strike against Queens Park Rangers to happen, Manchester City first needed to wrest control of the title race from United. Sir Alex Ferguson’s team, eight points ahead three weeks previously, were flagging, and he would admit mistakes with his team selection. One of English football’s greatest rivalries was at its zenith – Arsenal had confirmed the previous year’s title at Old Trafford and looked certainties to retain it for most of the following season. The win inspired City to the title – though they were scooped two weeks later, when United became the first English team to win the European Cup. DH

We are much more equal at least than we were with Bayern. “That’s the difference in the situation, clearly. “I didn’t know about the stories behind it, it was the ‘stories’ what we thought about intensity – not the stories that were written,” he added.

We have to take a decision over what to do. As for City, meanwhile, Pep Guardiola has said that Portugal international Dias will not make a surprise comeback.

However, even if he is available, the increase of options in attack means Firmino is far from guaranteed a place in the side on Sunday. But if Firmino is available – and there remains every chance he is – it stands to reason that he will be considered by Klopp as part of a familiar lineup: It is a shame, then, that the Brazilian may not be able to start at the Etihad, despite losing his regular spot in the side this season.

Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been speaking about the huge game against Liverpool on Sunday.

Liverpool really need to win, so the pressure is on them. Although, Aguero admits the title race is 'still open' and hard to predict. Liverpool currently sit one point behind their rivals and a win this weekend will take them two points clear at the summit.

And all that noise can inflate the draw to a backable price, which it has done here at 13/5 with Sky Bet. He looks to have improved his ability in getting into more dangerous areas of the pitch with a return of eight Premier League goals this season to show for it. That matches his best return in a Premier League season and he still has 10 games to go. No player in the Premier League without a goal in that period has managed more shots on goal than Mac Allister (25) with seven of those coming in the 0-0 draw with Norwich. On another day he could have had a couple of goals to his name as two of those efforts were just a whisker away. That is a fair sample size and one we should take huge confidence from when assessing the goal-line in this fixture. Even without factoring in the Antonio angle, the case for a home win is strong based on Brentford's performance metrics at their own ground this season. He'll be tested up against Raphinha in this one and I like his price of picking up a card. What is in their favour here is that one goal probably will be enough to beat Brighton, who have failed to score in six of their last seven Premier League matches. His performances have reached another level over the past two months to such an extent he started his first match for Argentina in their World Cup qualifier with Venezuela. Eddie Howe has only lost one of his 10 Premier League home matches with that solitary defeat coming at the hands of Manchester City. The positive atmosphere at St James' Park and around the club in general is certainly creating a tough environment for visiting teams. He'll be tasked with keeping a lid on Sancho and that looks a battle the United winger can win. The bet that stands out here is his first goalscorer price of 9/1 with Sky Bet.

Jack Grealish could return to the Manchester City starting XI for their crunch Premier League showdown with title rivals Liverpool on Sunday afternoon ...

Nathan Ake is likely to make way for him. Victory for City would move them four points clear at the summit. Dias will naturally be missed, of course, but his absence has long-since been predicted.

The biggest game of the English season will draw a lower audience than el clásico but the top flight attracts the best numbers across the campaign.

Manchester City v Liverpool may not be the most watched match in world football, but the Premier League is a global hit every weekend of the season. The Premier League in its entirety is the compelling product and it is not only American broadcasters who think so. But it is also the case that NBC would not have committed such money if the investment were defined by a single fixture. El clásico, meanwhile, is a match of historical importance regardless of where Real Madrid and Barcelona are in the league table. We’re used to hearing that the Premier League is an international product, that it’s watched in “188 of the world’s 193 countries recognised by the United Nations”. The Premier League does not share international viewing figures on its games.

Manchester City could have sewn up total dominance for years with one transfer move, but instead Liverpool ended up acquiring their most important attacker.

Perhaps most notably, the return of some defensive stability has allowed the full-backs to be more offensive again, and Trent Alexander-Arnold has been excellent in a creative sense this season. That’s an interesting spin on how he ended up moving to Anfield, to say the least — but if there is any truth in it at all, it’s the biggest mistake they have ever made. Since Van Dijk’s return at the start of this season, Liverpool have outgunned even Manchester City in the Premier League, scoring at a rate of more than 2.5 goals per game. Regardless, there is no doubt that Liverpool have been near-enough faultless since the turn of the year, transforming a Man City procession into one of the most absorbing title races in living memory. Pep Guardiola called that deficit ‘ fake’, and he is certainly right to point out that there were games in hand involved, but nobody extended Klopp the same privilege when he apparently ‘bottled’ a similar advantage in 2019/20. When Liverpool lost Mohmed Salah and Sadio Mané to the African Cup of Nations in January, it was widely expected to confirm their status as two of the most vital cogs in Jürgen Klopp’s attacking machine.

Liverpool's season is riding on the next three fixtures, starting tomorrow with a title-decider against Premier League champions Manchester City.

An injury to Ruben Dias is a big miss for the home side and was key to their title-winning success last season. Manchester City, on the other hand, are missing both Ruben Dias and Cole Palmer. Every point matters at this stage in the season and having players missing from your squad could have a huge impact on each match.

Liverpool have checked into their hotel in Manchester ahead of Sunday's title showdown at the Etihad Stadium.

Fabinho was among them, with the Liverpool boss confirming on Friday that his midfielder will be available, despite suffering a nasty blow to the head against Benfica in midweek. Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate were also among the players spotted making their way off the bus on Saturday night. Manchester City face the Reds on Sunday in what many are billing as this season’s title decider.

The Inside Track brings you the best in betting tips with tipster Tom Phillips looking ahead to Liverpool's crucial six-pointer for the Premier League title ...

The Reds are yet to win at the Etihad Stadium under Klopp in the Premier League. Both teams have scored a combined 147 goals and conceded just 38 goals in the league this season. In their last eight meetings in all competitions, the match has finished under 2.5 goals on just three occasions and only five times since Klopp joined Liverpool. Over 2.5 goals is 4/6. Both sides have favourable run-ins with City facing no one in the top six while Liverpool have Manchester United at home later on this month. He is 11/4 to score anytime which I think is a very generous price. Since 2017, both sides in this fixture have scored in nine out of 13 matches in all competitions.

Manchester City and Liverpool are separated by a single point heading into Sunday's Premier League showdown. This is how Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp ...

“I am not sure if Pep spoke in that moment about Sadio or the team – both is not too nice to be honest. In an early hint of the majesty to come under his management, Liverpool also thumped a dishevelled City 4-1 at Etihad Stadium in November 2015. Firmino equalised but Sterling laid on Sane to fire home a winner via the inside of Alisson’s post. Not for the last time in the fixture, Guardiola was incensed by a decision when Sane had a goal incorrectly chalked off for offside before half-time. Liverpool rode that wave to the final, where they ran into a Gareth Bale-inspired Real Madrid. If you put a little star next to all of those other fixtures, you’ve stopped annotating a results list and taken up flag designing. Bayern Munich might argue otherwise, but City and Liverpool have a very strong case to be considered the two best teams in the world right now. By that stage, City had already announced Guardiola would succeed Pellegrini for the 2016/17 campaign on a three-year contract. The last time Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp’s sides truly went blow-for-blow for a league title, City prevailed by 98 to 97. Pellegrini’s City finished a distant 2nd to Chelsea in 2014/15, while Liverpool’s form collapsed more spectacularly. Counting cumulative points totals from the start of that 2018/19 campaign, City have 338 points to Liverpool’s 337. There is one point between the teams, with City on 73 to Liverpool’s 72 after 30 games.

Three things will 'definitely' happen when Manchester City meet Liverpool in the title 'decider' at the Etihad, even though the result is far from certain.

He will do his utmost to ensure Liverpool never turn over the ball in areas where they can go on to attack it, and this may well be the most fascinating tactical element of the matchup. In nearly three seasons at Manchester City, Rodri has committed 145 fouls in the Premier League. They have earned him 19 yellow cards, and zero reds. Signed as the heir to the 36-year-old, Rodri has certainly absorbed some dark arts from his mentor. Liverpool were already 1-0 down by the time Sadio Mané was shown red, but they were on top in proceedings. That’s not because Alexander-Arnold is a ‘weak point’; the tactical setup simply rests on a calculated gamble that the 23-year-old’s contributions further up the pitch justify the risk of leaving some space. Even in the 5-0 demolition back in 2017, things ultimately swung on one freak incident.

Manchester City manager has a big decision to make - five big talking points ahead of Premier League showdown.

Jurgen Klopp remains the same - jovial and eloquent when winning, quite a piece of work when not. Joao Cancelo has been a revelation as an attacking, inverted full-back in the last 18 months, but questions remain over his defending. In the away game with Liverpool, he was pitted against stand-in right-back James Milner and destroyed the former Blue.

Liverpool take on Manchester City in one of the most highly anticipated fixtures of the season and pundits have shared their predictions.

Mark Lawrenson believes this won't be the title decider and the pressure will still be on for the winner to win all of their remaining fixtures. He backs his former club to clinch the victory, although he thinks it will be a tight contest. It will be close, and there will be a few goals. He told SportsKeeda: "Given how much they dominated [against Atletico Madrid], City still left the door open at the back a little bit and Liverpool could look to exploit that. "If Liverpool win, they will go on and take the title. With seven games left after this one, it will still be all to play for in the latter stages of the season.

Sir Alex and Wenger were there so many years together - 26 and 22 - we are here with less time doing this." City and Liverpool have been masters of tweaking their blueprints while redesigning what it takes to win the top flight. "You can't have the same ideas of 12 or 13 years ago, you become lazy, and you are not scared. "Always you have to make some evolution during the process. "We don't have a proper striker, but it is what it is. And the preparations are a bit different, you know, especially because they do something that no other team in all around the world do - the movement they have. England's champions, one point ahead of Sunday's opponents Liverpool - their foes in the FA Cup semi-finals and an obstruction to their Champions League ambitions - are under enormous pressure amid the possibility of a treble. But at the end, I still sleep, wake up in the morning, have breakfast, lunch, dinner… "Now I handle situations a little bit more calmer. 'wow, this is the game'. You know it, we know it. Maybe I should feel the pressure now, but I don't." We are fortunate to live in this moment.

Harry Kane's performances against Manchester City suggests Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp should select one attacker in particular at the Etihad.

He's averaging more final-third tackles on a per-90 basis than any of his team-mates in the Premier League this season, and Jota is the only forward who tends to post more pressures than him. He has a wealth of options at his disposal but can only select 11 players to face the league leaders. The 30-year-old seems perfectly equipped to drop into Rodri's zone before feeding his speedy team-mates in more advanced areas.
