Prediction and Conclusion
Manchester City won the Premier League crown in the last four seasons, and it seemed like they were on the right path to repeat when the season began. However, things dramatically changed as City fell into their biggest crisis in the past decade. Pep Guardiola is trying hard to lift his team, but things are obviously falling apart. City was 3-0 up in the last game against Feyenoord but allowed three unanswered goals in the last 15 minutes to win only a point. They have definitely hit rock bottom, and the trip to Liverpool could not come at a worse time. The Reds, on the other hand, are in excellent form and have a solid lead at the top of the standings. This game is of high importance for both teams since Liverpool can make the crucial jump towards the title while City can return in the race. This will be a high-intensity game, and we go with Liverpool not to lose in a game with over 1.5 total goals.
