Manchester City vs. Liverpool
By Joe, www.bettingexpert.com | Published (Edited )
The race for the fourth place in the Premiership could be decided on Sunday when these two teams met at the City Stadium. City are currently fourth in the league with one game and one point in front of Liverpool. The guest from Merseyside knows that a win here will seal great hopes in getting that Champions League spot for next year’s campaign.
Manchester City have been disappointing in their latest run in the Premiership. After their defeat to Manchester United in the Carling Cup, City hasn’t found their good form under Mancini in the February month. They lost to Hull City away, beat Bolton 2-0 home and drew 1-1 against Stoke City in the midweek. Adebayor and Gareth Barry are the only players that are playing to their level while others have disappointed. Mancini will have to get his team up a gear as the fourth place in on stake this Sunday late afternoon kickoff.
Liverpool went on a nine undefeated game run before getting beaten 1-0 by Arsenal at the Emirates two midweek ago. Their defeat was followed up with a win 1-0 against Unirea Urziceni in the midweek Europa League. This has given Liverpool a boost and confidence is high amongst the team as they travel to Manchester on Sunday. Manager Rafa Benitez will be without Yossi Benayoun and Fernando Torres as they are still a bit away from fitness. Glen Johnson is still injured while Kyrgiakos will continue his three match suspension.
Liverpool are missing the clincher finishing in front of goal and playing in a high tempo affair. This will surely be in the mix when Manchester City turn up this weekend. The sky blues are an offensive team and Liverpool will have to stop this attacking force with countering them at the break. Last time these two teams met, it ended in a goal galore, 2 goals each and surely that could be a repeat this Sunday.
