Paint to be an open duel and spaces in which situations alternate from the initial stage. Considering this, we trust that they can recover from a hypothetical partial disadvantage.
Liverpool:
The “Reds” played against Napoli in Italy for the Champions League and lost 1-0 at the end (the team’s worst game of the season). In the English tournament, they drew 1-1 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, managing to score a point in a game that seemed lost. These days, they have 19 points in the table, product of 6 consecutive wins and this equality. Now his goal is to win a direct duel for the championship, as he will face the colleague of the competition.

The team is still smart and lethal when it is proposed, standing out for handling the ball a lot and for generating a large number of corners in favor.

As a visitor, Manchester City has played 3 matches in total, reaching 7 units of 9 possible. He has won 0-2 against Arsenal at the Emirates, equaling 1-1 against Wolverhampton and crushing Cardiff 0-5 in Welsh.
