Liverpool vs Manchester City

Premier League, England

Date: Saturday, Nov 21, 2009

Stadium: Anfield

Liverpool are sitting in 7th place at the moment and they are already out of the title race but they simply have to win this game in order to gain the upper hand in the top 4 race. City have experienced some problems lately but the win over struggling Liverpool could be just what they need to kick-start their league campaign. This season is threatening to turn into an utter disappointment for the Reds since Rafa Benitez’s side are struggling in all the competitions entered. They are on the verge of elimination from the Champions League, while the Premiership campaign gives the fans no reason for optimism either. The reality is Liverpool will have to fight for the top 4 place with Manchester City, which makes this match extremely important. Even though City boast some excellent players, they are still far from looking like the team and we believe Rafa Benitez’s side will eventually clinch the top 4 place. Therefore, you should back .Rafa Benitez has received a welcoming boost since Gerrard, Agger and Johnson have started training and they are expected to be fit for the City game. That will be a big boost for the Reds, even though Torres, Riera and Benayoun are not expected to be back before the derby clash with Everton next weekend. In the absence of Torres, David Ngog is expected to start as a lone striker even though he suffered a broken nose on international duty. The young Frenchman has already proven his goalscoring potential and you should be aware . Manchester City have suffered a big dip in form that saw them draw five consecutive league games and they are now in danger of slipping down the Premiership ladder. The Citizens allowed both Fulham and Burnley to take a point each from the City of Manchester Stadium after conceding in the final stages of the game and that is something Mark Hughes will have to find cure for. The visitors are looking to take advantage of Liverpool’s problems and win the game if possible, thus they are unlikely to discard the attacking approach. With players like Adebayor, Bellamy and Tevez up front, we see a great value in backing . After quite a while, mark Hughes will have full squad to choose from because both Robinho and Onuoha has recovered from their respective injuries, although neither of them is expected to be named in the starting line-up. As we have already said, City are eager to end the five-match winless run and they won’t be afraid to attack out-of-form Liverpool.Liverpool will have Gerrard and Johnson back, which will be a big boost for the hosts but we are not convinced they have what it takes to win this game. City have played five straight draws and we wouldn’t be surprised to see the run continue. Live score and results will be available soon..
