Liverpool hosts Manchester City in round 23 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, February 7th at Anfield (Liverpool)
Liverpool's huge squad problems are adversely affecting the results. The regular goalkeeper is sick, the main central defenders are injured, and the top attacking players are in the infirmary. In the previous round, the Reds managed to lose to Brighton at home (0:1), delivering only one shot on the opponent's goal. And it was the second home defeat in a row. Moreover, Jurgen Klopp's charges cannot score more than one goal in four games in a row at Anfield. Such results threw the team to the 4th line of the Premier League standings, and now the gap to the leader is seven points. During the winter transfer window, the club signed two defenders to somehow plug the holes in the defense. Kabak was taken on loan from Schalke, and Davis was bought from Preston. However, these guys are unlikely to solve all of Klopp's problems.

Manchester City is confidently leading the English Premier League standings. A series of successful results motivated the players, and they believed that they could become champions again. The winning streak of the Citizens lasts 13 matches in a row, and an unbeaten streak in all tournaments amounts to 20 games. The simple calendar in the championship allowed Man City to score the required number of points to bypass all competitors. Now Josep Guardiola has only one problem - Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero cannot help the team due to injuries. By the way, these are two key performers in the Citizens’ roster. We will add that MC scored eight goals in the last three games without conceding a single one.
Liverpool has tremendous problems with the squad. Keita, Van Dijk, Jota, Gomez, and Matip are injured, while the participation of Becker, Fabinho, and Mane in the upcoming battle is questionable. As a result, Klopp has to trust those players who have not lived up to their hopes for a long time, for example, Shaqiri and Origi. Both attack and defense play poorly, so the Reds lose to such teams as Brighton, Burnley, and Southampton. But everything is great at Manchester City - leadership in the Premier League, winning streak, an almost empty hospital, and a quality bench. It is a sin not to take advantage of the precarious and difficult position of the Reds. And we think that the visitors will manage to score at least two times.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to score over 1.5 goals
