Liverpool v Man City

Liverpool vs Manchester City Preview

Without doubt, the biggest fixture in this weekend's Premier League action is this upcoming clash between the league leaders, Liverpool, and their second placed visitors, Manchester City, when the two teams meet at Anfield on Sunday afternoon and with just one point separating the two clubs, this promises to be a real blockbuster to round of this weekend's action.

Liverpool head into this vital encounter on the back of four wins on the trot in the English top flight having accounted for the likes of Burnley, Brentford, Luton Town and Nottingham Forest respectively which has helped Jurgen Klopp's side remain in pole position at the top of the Premier League table in what has been a successful campaign to date.

Indeed, The Reds have been handed just a single defeat within their last 20 matches overall in the domestic top flight which also includes picking up no fewer than 14 victories in the process, so the merseyside club will fancy their chances of toppling the current title-holders at Anfield on Sunday.

In addition, goals also look set to feature here in this mouthwatering clash as seven of Liverpool's last 10 games overall in the Premier League have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

Manchester City have continued to close the gap on their title rivals ahead of this anticipated epic battle at Anfield as Pep Guardiola's side have collected nine wins out of their last 10 matches overall, while their unbeaten sequence in the Premier League was stretched to 12 games overall after humbling their local rivals Manchester United 3-1 in last Sunday's Manchester derby.

Four of Manchester City's last nine victories in the top flight have also been registered on their travels as The Citizens have produced important wins on the road at the likes of Everton, Newcastle United, Brentford and Bournemouth and the visitors will now have Liverpool in their sights here on Sunday afternoon as Pep's side look to take over at the top of the table with all three points.

Five of Manchester City's last 10 league games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals, while the bigger picture shows the visitors have been handed just the single defeat from their previous 19 matches overall which will also give City reason to believe they can take the spoils here at Anfield as well.

To underline their claims for the maximum points, Manchester City have won their last five away games on the trot, while seven of Manchester City's last 10 away games have also produced three goals or more.
