THE PREDICTION
Anfield is the stage for what will likely prove a pivotal fixture in this season’s Premier League as league leaders Man City travel to defending champions Liverpool. A second successive home defeat for the Reds in midweek, this time at the hands of Brighton sees Jurgen Klopp’s men enter this match in fourth place and realistically needing to win if they are to stand any chance of catching Man City. Pep Guardiola’s side come into this encounter loaded with momentum, having won their last 13 games. However, the location of the contest may prove a game changer with Man City holding a hideous record over the years at Anfield, not winning at the home of Liverpool since way back in May 2003. Since that victory, City have played 17 Premier League games at the ground without success but the lack of fans this time round could perhaps ignite a change of fortune for the visitors. Guardiola’s men look the best defensively that they perhaps have ever done under the Spaniard and when you take into account their current winning run alongside Liverpool’s lengthy injury list, Man City draw no bet may well prove the smart play.
