From what you said is like you are directing the whole thing to end in a draw, it can happen that way but I have this feeling that Manchester City are going to beat Liverpool that's if they are ready to coordinate themselves ahead of that encounter because I see City as a team that are trying to impress in big games and at the same time they make mistakes. We know the Citizens as a team who likes to dominate every games and make their opponent feel the heat but look at them now, they can't even endure a 5mins pressure without making a silly mistake. I can't point out the favorite in this game but I can tell you for sure that Liverpool are losing all 3pt.
Yeah maybe we have different predictions because I think Liverpool will not lose and the worst result is just a draw imo. Based on statistics, Liverpool does look better but in important matches like this, each team usually has different abilities I mean unexpected things can happen. Sportsbooks also say the same thing by offering relatively similar odds so if you think Manchester City will win it means they need luck, if they expect on normal game it seems very difficult.
Man City can provide unexpected resistance plus playing at home is the initial capital for Man City this week, I know that Man City is currently in a period of decline anything can happen even defeat but we must also be able to measure the strength of Liverpool who are still perched at the top of the Premier League standings, although it is difficult at least in this match it can end with a draw because Man City's current strength is not comparable to Liverpool.
