City will be desperate and will be aiming to win the match for a change but Liverpool are not an easy opponent at all.
City v Liverpool has been a match to look out for in recent years, and this one will be no different, last season Liverpool were not in the title race, but thus far this season, they are making a claim to be title contenders, but it is still early to conclude if they can take the title away from Manchester City.
Liverpool would want to make a loud statement by beating the champions, but the match is at the Etihad and City have made their home a fortress, thus i don't think Liverpool can win; my prediction for this one is City to either win or draw.
Liverpool doesn't wants to perform like last season and thus they have been strong so far. They have to emerge as winners in these kind of matches in order to win the title but City also wants to win PL titles back to back and recently they have been inconsistent. It's a tough one for City but they have to win it somehow. It's a very tough fixture and it's very hard to pick a winner for me. Home soil certainly gives an advantage but it's not necessary that home team wins the matches for sure. If Liverpool wins things will certainly look good for Arsenal and others and that is what I want so Liverpool is what I am rooting in for in this match.
