Liverpool vs Man City prediction and expert picks
Joe Prince-Wright: Liverpool are giving up some decent chances on the break and City are giving up a lot, and I think it’s going to be ferocious and Liverpool will try and control it but it will be chaos. Haaland and Salah will deliver goals and neutrals everywhere will be loving this. Man City have to go for it which will open the game up, but I think they’re just going to come up short with the win that they need. Liverpool are going to stay eight points clear and have the upper-hand in the title race but City will grab a morale-boosting draw and just about keep themselves in touch with Liverpool. For now. Liverpool 2-2 Manchester City.
Andy Edwards: City need it more. They have to have it because if they lose the title this season, how many of those players want to be back next season? As the project and where it’s going and the uncertainty over Pep longer term, we know medium term he’s going to be there for a couple more years, but how many players then look and say ‘alright, I’ve done incredible things at Manchester City, what else is out there?’ This could be, and we won’t know until much later looking back on it, somewhat of a sliding doors moment and a crossroad for not just the club but a lot of individuals there. Liverpool 1-2 Manchester City.
Nick Mendola: For Man City, I think what you will see this weekend regardless of what center back they put at holding mid, Gundogan and De Bruyne together is something we’re all forgetting about. Gundogan is a better holding midfielder than we remember because he hasn’t had to play that way at Man City. I think this is ripe for a talking-point rich next week after City pull off a 2-1 win at Anfield. Liverpool 1-2 Manchester City.
