Liverpool vs Manchester City – Expected Lineups, Injuries, Predictions, Live Streaming & How to Watch Pep Guardiola vs Jurgen Klopp’s ‘Last Dance’ on TV

We are less than twenty-four hours away from the much-awaited top-of-the-table-clash between Liverpool and Manchester City. The race for the Premier League title is heating up with both teams in pole position to get their hands around the title. Jurgen Klopp‘s Liverpool is currently at the top of the standings with 63 points to their name and is just a point ahead of Pep Guardiola‘s defending champions. Considering their form, not only is this game a potential title decider but also a slip at this stage of the competition would be disastrous for either team, with Arsenal hot on their heels with 61 points to their name.

Both Liverpool and Manchester City have been in sublime form, with the two clubs not ready to drop a single point. Liverpool seems like a reinvigorated side following Jurgen Klopp’s announcement of stepping down at the end of this season, as the club looks to finish the season with a bang. Meanwhile, the Cityzens haven’t been slouching either, with the team firing on all cylinders following the triumphant returns of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, chasing a 4th consecutive league title.
