It is a tough challenge for Manchester City to beat Liverpool in the 26th match, the current condition of the players is still filled with anger and disappointment, after they were previously eliminated from the Champion League. But ready not ready they must immediately rise from adversity, there are matches that must be completed, they must realize the opportunities in the premiere league are still wide open.
If Manchester lose against Liverpool in this match, their position in fourth place could be threatened, at least a draw is more than losing, i don't think they can win this match, even though i expect it.
It is very difficult for Manchester City to beat Liverpool at the moment but it is not impossible. Manchester City may not be in good form, but they have a very strong squad. If the players can perform well, it is definitely possible for Manchester City to get 3 points against Liverpool.
In the last match, we did not get a good performance from Liverpool as expected, Liverpool failed to win against Aston Villa. The match against Manchester City is very important for Liverpool. If Liverpool loses points in this match too, then the gap between Liverpool and Arsenal will be reduced further. And the fight for the title will be more competitive.
