I urge you to praise Man City moderately for you not to be disappointed and note that the Man City of years back is not the current one. This is evident on the table and how wide the gap between it and Liverpool is. As much as I wouldn't want to judge with that since anything can change suddenly, I wouldn't want you to undermine the capacity of Liverpool as a viable team with a great feat, it will take greater effort for any EPL club to beat it, so take back your claim of certainty that Liverpool will lose all the 3 points, you are not there yet.
If I were to choose with sentiment and current feat, I would say Liverpool would win many times over but for being reasonable like others who are expecting a draw, I align with them because of one thing, Man City may surprise, but still, the club will surely met a fierce battle on Sunday. This is why I am staying out of this bet, it's difficult to predict a winner without tramping on conservative betting.
I don't like what Guardiola is saying, he's obviously been very affected by his divorce from his wife and now believes that there are big changes happening in his life, the end of cycles and the beginning of new ones, maybe he even believes that his work at City may end. At least I've already seen talk that they are considering Iraol from Bournemouth as a possible option to replace Guardiola. It seems that the management is unhappy with the defeat to Real, it's too early for City to finish the Champions League.
