Liverpool host Manchester City in a massive Premier League contest on Merseyside today.
While a 7-1 win away at Rangers in the Champions League will undoubtedly have raised confidence for Jurgen Klopp’s side, there’s little doubt they have underperformed this season and go into the game already 13 points behind City.
Still, as good as the champions have been at times, they trail Arsenal at the top of the Premier League and have shown signs of some sort of defensive weakness, the kind Liverpool definitely have the quality to exploit.

Liverpool vs Man City prediction
The temptation, of course, would be to suggest that Haaland and company will run riot over a Liverpool defence that have flattered to deceive this season.
Still, with some key players game and Liverpool rising to the occasion so many times over the years, it’d be foolish to bet against them.
2-2 draw.
