Manchester City will try to stay in the top 4 after this round. In their last match, they recorded one of their best victories of the season with a 4-0 win at home against Newcastle. However, they failed to impress in their visit to Real Madrid during the week and lost, dropping out of the Champions League. City now faces another serious test, but at least this time they are playing at home. Goals are expected once again, as there have been over 2.5 goals in City's last 12 matches in all competitions.
Liverpool missed the chance to extend their lead by 10 points at the top during the week and settled for another 2-2 draw, this time away to Aston Villa. They have been scoring more than one goal in consecutive matches, but have also shown some defensive vulnerabilities lately, leading to conceding goals, which could be a problem against a stronger opponent. Since 2015, Liverpool has not won as a visitor against City in the Premier League, hoping to change that now.
Prediction: both teams to score, over 3.5 goalsRegardless of how the match unfolds, goals are likely to be scored. Both teams have been producing results, with strong attacks and defensive vulnerabilities, especially from City, so I expect another high-scoring match between them.
