Liverpool and Manchester City meet at a moment when their form is heading in opposite directions. Liverpool have just won 1-0 in their latest league match, while Manchester City also just thrashed their opponent 5-3 in their latest league match, but the overall picture over the last five games is clearly different. The visitors have won all five, scoring 13 and conceding 5, while the hosts have won 2, drawn 3, scoring 7 and conceding 4. Liverpool are unbeaten in their last five, but three of those were draws. Their attack still isn't sharp enough to close out every game. Manchester City, meanwhile, are playing with full confidence, on a five-match winning run, and have just scored 5 goals in their last two games. Their defence still concedes at times, but a trip to Anfield remains one of the toughest tests of the season. If Manchester City score first, the game will likely force Liverpool to open up and fight back, which is the situation the visitors thrive in when using space to counter. But if the hosts take the lead first, the game could turn into a long exchange of blows, because both sides have enough quality to create chances throughout the ninety minutes.
