Man City ended March with an incredible 13 goals in two cup games with a 7-0 win over Leipzig and a 6-0 thrashing of Burnley. Will star striker Erling Haaland continue his incredible scoring streak?

Man City vs Liverpool preview
Man City find themselves eight points behind leaders Arsenal (albeit with a game in hand). Having won four out of their last five games, Pep Guardiola would have hoped to close the gap to leaders Arsenal but his protege Mikel Arteta has kept his team out of reach for now. In the reverse of this fixture, City actually lost to Liverpool at Anfield but despite this, City are the league's top scorers and boast the second-best defense as well as a home advantage so will head into this match against a struggling Liverpool as favorites. Erling Haaland, the standout player in the Premier League this season, missed international duty through injury but City fans will be crossing their fingers and toes that he returns for this game.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are used to traveling to the Etihad in the midst of title battles, not struggling to secure a European place, but that is the situation this season. In truth, it is not games against giants like Manchester City that have been their undoing this season but shoddy performances against the lesser sides in the division. Long-term injuries to forwards Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez have disrupted the season but that is no excuse. On the bright side, January signing Cody Gakpo has been showing signs of the prolific goalscoring that earnt him a move from PSV Eindhoven. Luis Diaz has been out since October but could make a much-needed return to brighten up Liverpool fans’ day while teenage midfielder Stefan Bajetic is now ruled out for the rest of the season.
These two teams have served up some classics in recent memory and the Man City vs Liverpool live stream has all the signs of another. Don’t miss it.
