Liverpool preps for Manchester City trip

On Friday (July 3), Liverpool will pit against the runner-up of Premier League, Manchester City F.C. The derby will take place at Etihad Stadium at 3:15 AM (MYT).

The newly-crowned Premier League champions are currently in Melwood, gearing up for their trip to Manchester City. This match with Pep Guardiola’s boys was supposed to be the determiner on which club will become the title-holder. But because the Citizens had a rather mediocre execution for their match with Chelsea, the Premier League 2019/2020 season is now reduced to a dead rubber.

Nonetheless, Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola promise to deliver an exciting match.

Although Guardiola thinks it is a pity that Manchester City F.C has fallen short, he believes Liverpool deserves to come out on top. To congratulate Klopp and men on their success, Pep will give Liverpool a guard of honour when they arrive at Etihad stadium.

Pep insists on doing a guard of honour because he wishes to welcome Liverpool to their house open-heartedly and that Liverpool deserves it. He is also doing so to respect Liverpool’s achievement.

Manchester City VS Liverpool prediction

Manchester City will be playing the home game without Fernandinho due to his two-match suspensions that came about from the match going against Chelsea. Fernandinho’s absence can leave quite an impact because he has done an incredible job as a central defender this season. Sergio Aguero, City’s striker, will also be pulling himself out of the game due to a knee injury.

We can expect to see Nicolas Otamendi and Aymeric Laporte, who are both center backs for Manchester City, partner up and be at the heart of the defence, as they stay in for Fernandinho.

For Liverpool, the two doubtful players that may or may not be joining the rest of the team in the field are Joel Matip, center-back, and James Milner, midfielder. Both the lads have suffered minor injuries in the Merseyside match. Now, it is a race against time for them to see if they are both fit for the upcoming away game. On the other hand, Xherdan Shaqiri is back on track and has returned to training.

For pairing, we can expect to see Joe Gomez working hand in hand with Virgil van Dijk at the back, while the key players, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane lead the line.

Looking at the line-up, Liverpool seems to be in good hands! Virgil van Dijk is considered one of the best defenders in the world, whereas Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are considered some of the best players in the world.

Did you know, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are also some of the best football players in the world? Other big names that are in the hall of fame are such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Johan Cruyff, Kevin De Bruyne, and more.

The derby between Liverpool and Manchester City is going to be a tight one. Knowing that they are already the champions will stoke their spirit and help them march forward by maintaining their current rhythm. If all ends well, Liverpool has a great chance at ending the Premier League season with 107 points, surpassing the record set by Manchester City back in the 2017/2018 for scoring 100 points.

Within 13 months, Liverpool men have won the Premier League title, Champions League, Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup. As if the list is not impressive already, they are on their way of breaking domestic records this season, many of which are held by Manchester City currently. Liverpool is the first football club to end the Premier League with most games to spare.

This record was held by Manchester City and Manchester United once, with five games to spare, however, in the 2017/2018 season and 2000/2001 season, respectively.

Our take is that Liverpool will win Manchester City over. But this is going to be a close contest, seeing how Manchester City has achieved several feats throughout their participation in the Premier League. Both teams are humble, great at what they do, and have the hunger for winning. How well do you think each team will fare?
