Liverpool – Manchester City, Prediction – Premier League

📉 Liverpool with another spectacular failure at Anfield

Liverpool had to beat Brighton on Wednesday in order to be with 3 consecutive wins and leave those terrible matches around the end of December and New Year back. They were already thinking about the victory in this match with Man C. Instead, the Reds made another lean performance at Anfield and lost to Brighton. After over 65 games without a loss at this stadium, Liverpool recorded only 1 point in 3 consecutive games and did not even score a goal in these matches. We must take into account, however, that the curse of injuries in Liverpool goes beyond all bounds already. All 3 central defenders of the champions have been out until the end of the season for a long time, and in almost every game they play with at least 5-6 injured starters, which is a huge factor, no matter how strong Liverpool is overall.

🏆 Man City are approaching the title with small but very definite steps

Man City have 13 consecutive victories in all tournaments and 11 successes and 2 draws in the last 15 games in the championship, which is practically almost half a season. It is these results that show that citizens have officially “returned”. They are back in the form of the City team from 2 and 3 seasons ago, who easily crushed its rivals. Guardiola explained that the only thing he has changed is the position of the attacking players, who now play more “broadly” in front positions.

The draw is the right choice in this derby

 Expert view: We must not forget that Liverpool has failed many times in the last month, but it has failed only against weaker teams. Since the beginning of the season, very few points have been lost by teams in the top 10 of the standings. We just don’t see how Klopp will allow the English champions to make Anfield’s third consecutive loss in the league, which has not happened for decades. Man City at the moment seems invincible, so the most logical development of the match is Draw at 3.75.
