Former Premier League player Chris Sutton shares his thoughts on the highly anticipated match between Liverpool and Manchester City, tipping the Reds to come out on top.
Sutton believes that Liverpool’s impressive recent performance against Real Madrid, which earned them a 2-0 victory, will give them the edge they need to take down Manchester City.
He points out that Spurs’ 4-0 thrashing of Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last weekend as a possible blueprint for Liverpool’s success, citing the side’s strong midfield and the standout performance of Curtis Jones.
A victory for Liverpool would not only extend their lead over the reigning champions but also be a significant milestone in their season, according to Sutton. He predicts a scoreline of 4-1 in the Reds’ favor, which would be a major boost for the team.
Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer also weighed in on the weekend’s Premier League fixtures, highlighting the Liverpool vs. Manchester City match as a key event.
With Manchester City struggling to find their form, currently on a six-game winless streak, Liverpool’s position at the top of the table gives them a strong advantage heading into the match.
Shearer notes that Arsenal will be eager to make up ground when they face West Ham, who are boosted by their recent win over Newcastle, and predicts a win for the Gunners.
He also expects Chelsea to come out on top in their match against Aston Villa, given their current form.
In the Manchester United vs. Everton match, Shearer thinks that Amorim has had sufficient time to fine-tune his approach, and, despite the challenging task, United will secure a win at home, fueled by the support of their fans.
Finally, he concludes that, considering Manchester City’s current form and Liverpool’s attacking options at Anfield, a Liverpool victory is on the cards.
