THE PREDICTION
It is the clash of the Premier League’s two strongest sides and despite being so early in this season, this game could be key in the outcome of this season. Although City haven’t looked great and have had a poor start to the season, a win over Liverpool and a win from their game-in-hand will see them leapfrog the champions and potentially to the top of the league. The absence of Van Dijk and the return of Gabriel Jesus couldn’t have come at worse time for Klopp, but the experienced manager will instil a calm mentality across the Liverpool dressing room and the Reds will be up for this one. Based off the start to the season and current form, the Reds would be favoured, but expect this game to be tight. This really is a game that could go either way with fine margins and moments of brilliance likely to decide it, but expect both managers to pay respect the other and to play this slightly more cautiously than they usually would play. Under 2.5 goals is worth considering here.
