Manchester City vs Liverpool
All eyes will be on Etihad Stadium when Manchester City and Liverpool face each other in the Premier League derby. Manchester City are eager to regain the domestic trophy, and, following a slow start to the season. They have been showing signs of improvement of late. The Citizens aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sheffield United as they take on Liverpool.
The home team should be able to take advantage of Liverpool’s injurylist. The Reds did well to beat West Ham 2-1 at the weekend, but injured centre-back Virgil van Dijk was sorely missed in the Anfield clash.
Jurgen Klopp’s troops have yet to find their best form in the 2020/21 season. They have about three of their key players injured for the home team Kun Aguero remains in the recovery room. Brazilain attacker Gabriel Jesus could recover in time to face the Reds.
Liverpool, on the other hand, should welcome Matip, Thiago, and Keita back to the squad, while Fabinho, Chamberlain, and aforementioned Van Dijk are definitely out of contention.
