Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City will lock horns with each other at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are the three teams aiming to win the Premier League title this season.
Arsenal are third with 61 points from 27 matches. Defending champions City are second with 62 points, a point ahead of Liverpool, who are at the top.
Liverpool and City will face each other at Anfield on Sunday, and former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has backed the Reds to pick up all three points from the encounter.
Chris Sutton backs Liverpool to win vs Manchester City
Sutton told BBC Sport: “City are the Premier League champions, European champions and world champions… so who is going to write them off? I am. They are going to lose.
“I have a hunch that, with Liverpool being at home, they will have the slight edge and Mohamed Salah’s return from injury could make the difference for them in a very tight game.
“I will probably look stupid at full-time but I am going with ‘darling’ Darwin Nunez to score and the Reds to win.
“Sutton’s prediction: 2-1.”
My View: Match between Liverpool and Manchester City will end in a draw
In my opinion, the Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield will end in a draw.
Both Liverpool and City are in good form. The Reds have won their last four league matches, while the Citizens have won four of their last five Premier League games.
Yes, the match is at Anfield, but the City players are used to playing in intimidating stadiums against a vociferous crowd.
I do not think that Pep Guardiola’s side will be affected by that. However, Liverpool have a very good team and are defensively strong.
Virgil van Dijk is back to his best now, and Joe Gomez is available. Mohamed Salah is also back, so I think that they will score against City and will not allow them to get more than one goal.
