LIVERPOOL NEWS

After losing the game against Manchester United, Liverpool destroyed Watford 5:0 and won the match against Crystal Palace by 2:1 after a comeback. In the league, they are currently eight points in front of fifth-placed Chelsea, but they played one match more than them. However, it seems that the top four finish and Champions League qualification shouldn't be questioned. They reached the last eight of Champions League, which can be considered as a reasonable success, but they want to go even further.

MANCHESTER CITY NEWS

Manchester City already secured the title in the league, and they are focused on Champions League. Liverpool is the only team which defeated them in the league in the season, so Pep Guardiola should be careful in the upcoming match. However, Liverpool's porous defense will hardly manage to save their net against the mighty Manchester City attack.

SUMMING UP!

We expect to see lots of goals in the upcoming game. Liverpool might match Manchester City's firepower up front, but better Manchester City defense should be the key of victory for Pep Guardiola.
