Liverpool demonstrate powerful performance in this season, however, the team has lost already all chances to win the English Premier League trophy.

Afterwards, on the 1/8 final stage of the tournament the side left no chances for further promotion to FC Porto. “The Merseysiders” showed very strong and massive play in attack, having scored 28 goals, however, their defense also looked tough with only six goals conceded. Liverpool have destroyed Watford 5:0, deserved 0:0 draw against FC Porto and broke Newcastle Utd 2:0 in the previous home tackles.

Meanwhile, Manchester City look simply gorgeous in this season. The team is confidently approaching the gold medals of the English Premier League and fights for the trophy of the major clubs tournament in Europe. “The Citizens” had managed to occupy the first position in one group with Shakhtar Donetsk, Napoli and Feyenoord and then knocked out Basel in the 1/8 final round of the UEFA Champions League. “The Blue Moon” acted solidly and convincing in attack, having scored 19 goals while its defense was also doing alright with only seven goals conceded. In the recent fights conducted on the road Manchester City have beaten Everton 3:1, Stoke City 2:0 and Arsenal 3:0.
Liverpool have not tasted a failure across 18 consecutive head-to-heads played against Manchester City in front of their supporters. Both rivals look great in this season, but, “The Reds” as the upcoming hosts will have an advantage in the forthcoming battle and may count for a favourable result in it.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X).
