Liverpool - Manchester City 13/04/2014 13:37
Liverpool and Manchester City face each other in a direct clash for the title in Premier League. Liverpool is currently at the top of the standings with four points more than their opponents but with two more games played. Liverpool fans have been dreaming of the title for a long time but in order to achieve this goal the team must win this match.
Liverpool is the team that is in the best current form of all the teams in the Premier League. Moreover, none of the teams in England are not even close to the series of nine consecutive wins, recorded by the red. In front of own audience, the players of Brendan Rogers are really convincing. They have scored and taken the lead in the first half of 12 of their last 13 home games. Liverpool, however, are still to face two crucial clashes with direct rivals for the title - Manchester City and Chelsea and they will have the home advantage.
The squad concerns of Manchester City are related to team leader Yaya Toure who treats injury. The player has recorded 18 goals and 5 assists in the league and his absence will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the City. Argued that Sergio Agüero is ready to play and it is interesting to see if Pellegrini will put the Argentine top scorer among the starting 11.
In direct matches between these two teams, the advantage is on the side of Liverpool. Moreover, the last victory of Manchester City at Anfield dates back from 2003 which certainly does not inspire confidence in the guests for this meeting. On the other hand, citizens are unbeaten in an away game for 10 consecutive matches away from home. We definitely expect a spectacular clash, the result of which will give a serious advantage of one of the two teams in the title race.
