Why you should back Manchester City
The defending champions have arguably the better midfield. City can start Kevin De Bruyne, Rodrigo and Bernardo Silva. Those three allow the team to dominate possession, which is how manager Pep Guardiola likes to play.
In addition, Phil Foden has had success recently against Liverpool. The 21-year-old forward from Stockport, England, has three goals in his last three matches against the Reds. This season he has seven goals in Premier League play, which ranks fourth on the team.
Why you should back Liverpool
The Reds have the best scorer in the Premier League — and maybe the world — in Mo Salah. The two-time winner of the Premier League’s Golden Boot, Salah leads the League with 20 goals this season. That’s six more than the next best player. In the previous matchup between the teams, a 2-2 draw, Salah scored.
In addition, Liverpool faces a Man City team that will be without Ruben Dias. The 24-year-old center back from Portugal has missed six straight City games with a hamstring injury. His absence is a major blow to City, as he was named both the Premier League Player of the Season and the Champions League Defender of the Season in 2021.
