Virgil van Dijk and Joël Matip are remarkably tall, with the pair 6ft 4 and 6ft 5 respectively. They are taller than us and we have to accept it." "We know we are going to defend part of the game and sit back," Guardiola said.

Beat City, and Liverpool will move two points clear at the top of the table with seven games left to play, while dealing the reigning champions a big setback in ...

However, even if he is available, the increase of options in attack means Firmino is far from guaranteed a place in the side on Sunday. But if Firmino is available – and there remains every chance he is – it stands to reason that he will be considered by Klopp as part of a familiar lineup: It is a shame, then, that the Brazilian may not be able to start at the Etihad, despite losing his regular spot in the side this season.

Jack Grealish could return to the Manchester City starting XI for their crunch Premier League showdown with title rivals Liverpool on Sunday afternoon ...

Nathan Ake is likely to make way for him. Victory for City would move them four points clear at the summit. Dias will naturally be missed, of course, but his absence has long-since been predicted.

And all that noise can inflate the draw to a backable price, which it has done here at 13/5 with Sky Bet. He looks to have improved his ability in getting into more dangerous areas of the pitch with a return of eight Premier League goals this season to show for it. That matches his best return in a Premier League season and he still has 10 games to go. No player in the Premier League without a goal in that period has managed more shots on goal than Mac Allister (25) with seven of those coming in the 0-0 draw with Norwich. On another day he could have had a couple of goals to his name as two of those efforts were just a whisker away. That is a fair sample size and one we should take huge confidence from when assessing the goal-line in this fixture. Even without factoring in the Antonio angle, the case for a home win is strong based on Brentford's performance metrics at their own ground this season. He'll be tested up against Raphinha in this one and I like his price of picking up a card. What is in their favour here is that one goal probably will be enough to beat Brighton, who have failed to score in six of their last seven Premier League matches. His performances have reached another level over the past two months to such an extent he started his first match for Argentina in their World Cup qualifier with Venezuela. Eddie Howe has only lost one of his 10 Premier League home matches with that solitary defeat coming at the hands of Manchester City. The positive atmosphere at St James' Park and around the club in general is certainly creating a tough environment for visiting teams. He'll be tasked with keeping a lid on Sancho and that looks a battle the United winger can win. The bet that stands out here is his first goalscorer price of 9/1 with Sky Bet.

Liverpool's season is riding on the next three fixtures, starting tomorrow with a title-decider against Premier League champions Manchester City.

An injury to Ruben Dias is a big miss for the home side and was key to their title-winning success last season. Manchester City, on the other hand, are missing both Ruben Dias and Cole Palmer. Every point matters at this stage in the season and having players missing from your squad could have a huge impact on each match.

Manchester City and Liverpool are separated by a single point heading into Sunday's Premier League showdown. This is how Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp ...

“I am not sure if Pep spoke in that moment about Sadio or the team – both is not too nice to be honest. In an early hint of the majesty to come under his management, Liverpool also thumped a dishevelled City 4-1 at Etihad Stadium in November 2015. Firmino equalised but Sterling laid on Sane to fire home a winner via the inside of Alisson’s post. Not for the last time in the fixture, Guardiola was incensed by a decision when Sane had a goal incorrectly chalked off for offside before half-time. Liverpool rode that wave to the final, where they ran into a Gareth Bale-inspired Real Madrid. If you put a little star next to all of those other fixtures, you’ve stopped annotating a results list and taken up flag designing. Bayern Munich might argue otherwise, but City and Liverpool have a very strong case to be considered the two best teams in the world right now. By that stage, City had already announced Guardiola would succeed Pellegrini for the 2016/17 campaign on a three-year contract. The last time Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp’s sides truly went blow-for-blow for a league title, City prevailed by 98 to 97. Pellegrini’s City finished a distant 2nd to Chelsea in 2014/15, while Liverpool’s form collapsed more spectacularly. Counting cumulative points totals from the start of that 2018/19 campaign, City have 338 points to Liverpool’s 337. There is one point between the teams, with City on 73 to Liverpool’s 72 after 30 games.

Three things will 'definitely' happen when Manchester City meet Liverpool in the title 'decider' at the Etihad, even though the result is far from certain.

He will do his utmost to ensure Liverpool never turn over the ball in areas where they can go on to attack it, and this may well be the most fascinating tactical element of the matchup. In nearly three seasons at Manchester City, Rodri has committed 145 fouls in the Premier League. They have earned him 19 yellow cards, and zero reds. Signed as the heir to the 36-year-old, Rodri has certainly absorbed some dark arts from his mentor. Liverpool were already 1-0 down by the time Sadio Mané was shown red, but they were on top in proceedings. That’s not because Alexander-Arnold is a ‘weak point’; the tactical setup simply rests on a calculated gamble that the 23-year-old’s contributions further up the pitch justify the risk of leaving some space. Even in the 5-0 demolition back in 2017, things ultimately swung on one freak incident.

Sir Alex and Wenger were there so many years together - 26 and 22 - we are here with less time doing this." City and Liverpool have been masters of tweaking their blueprints while redesigning what it takes to win the top flight. "You can't have the same ideas of 12 or 13 years ago, you become lazy, and you are not scared. "Always you have to make some evolution during the process. "We don't have a proper striker, but it is what it is. And the preparations are a bit different, you know, especially because they do something that no other team in all around the world do - the movement they have. England's champions, one point ahead of Sunday's opponents Liverpool - their foes in the FA Cup semi-finals and an obstruction to their Champions League ambitions - are under enormous pressure amid the possibility of a treble. But at the end, I still sleep, wake up in the morning, have breakfast, lunch, dinner… "Now I handle situations a little bit more calmer. 'wow, this is the game'. You know it, we know it. Maybe I should feel the pressure now, but I don't." We are fortunate to live in this moment.

Manchester City manager has a big decision to make - five big talking points ahead of Premier League showdown.

Jurgen Klopp remains the same - jovial and eloquent when winning, quite a piece of work when not. Joao Cancelo has been a revelation as an attacking, inverted full-back in the last 18 months, but questions remain over his defending. In the away game with Liverpool, he was pitted against stand-in right-back James Milner and destroyed the former Blue.

Liverpool take on Manchester City in one of the most highly anticipated fixtures of the season and pundits have shared their predictions.

Mark Lawrenson believes this won't be the title decider and the pressure will still be on for the winner to win all of their remaining fixtures. He backs his former club to clinch the victory, although he thinks it will be a tight contest. It will be close, and there will be a few goals. He told SportsKeeda: "Given how much they dominated [against Atletico Madrid], City still left the door open at the back a little bit and Liverpool could look to exploit that. "If Liverpool win, they will go on and take the title. With seven games left after this one, it will still be all to play for in the latter stages of the season.

The pundits have delivered their predictions of Manchester City's huge clash with Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

"Given how much they dominated, City still left the door open at the back a little bit and Liverpool could look to exploit that. "The biggest game of this season, I can’t wait!" It was probably an ideal warm up game for Liverpool, Benfica tried to take the game to them. "At different times, one team or the other will be on top - it will just come down to who can take their chances when they come. But considering City, despite their recent brilliance, are going up against a Liverpool side who are in excellent form themselves, it is hard to predict how the contest will map out, especially with so much at stake. However, before Pep Guardiola's side can focus their efforts on trying to reach the semi-finals of the competition, they must go toe-to-toe with Liverpool in a battle that is being dubbed one of the biggest in recent Premier League history.
