Team news

Manchester City news

The absence of Ruben Dias is a major setback for Manchester City, who will also be without Cole Palmer for the crucial match against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
Kyle Walker was suspended for the third and final game of a three-match Champions League suspension against Atletico Madrid, and his return should see Joao Cancelo return to left-back and Nathan Ake drop out.
In Pep Guardiola's three-man midfield, Ilkay Gundogan is expected to preserve his spot alongside Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne, although he will have competition from Bernardo Silva.
Silva, Riyad Mahrez, and Raheem Sterling are all competing for a starting spot in the final third, with Phil Foden and Jack Grealish also in contention.

Liverpool news

Jurgen Klopp has sought to allay fears that Fabinho suffered a major head injury in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Benfica, saying that the Brazilian just had a minor cut in Lisbon and should be OK to play at the Etihad Stadium.
Klopp may make just one change to the lineup that started at the Estadio da Luz on Tuesday night, with Joel Matip set to partner Virgil van Dijk at the back.
Naby Keita would start in the middle of the park alongside Fabinho and Thiago, however Jordan Henderson is fighting to replace the former.
Klopp has a lot of alternatives in attack, with Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota both coming off the bench for Benfica. On the other hand, he should keep Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz on each side of Sadio Mane.

Manchester City vs Liverpool predictions

Without a question, this is the most important game of the season so far. Manchester City's Premier League advantage has shrunk to just one point as a result of recent league wobbles. City appeared to be on course to win the Premier League in January, but they have squandered points against Southampton, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace, slowing their chase of a sixth crown.

Liverpool was 12 points behind City at the start of the season. The Reds, on the other hand, have been outstanding in 2022, scooping up 31 points from a possible 33, with a 2-2 draw against Chelsea in January being the only blemish on the record. Jurgen Klopp's team is on a four-game winning streak on the road, but they haven't won a league match at the Etihad Stadium since beating Manchester City 4-1 in 2015.

The Premier League leaders meet in the FA Cup at Wembley over Easter, with Liverpool hoping to complete the quadruple after winning the Carabao Cup in February.

This is a game that neither team wants to lose. Fans in Manchester may be treated to an entertaining clash between these two heavyweights.

Prediction: Manchester City 2-2 Liverpool
