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 arguably are in better form than Man City. Since the calendar turned to 2022, Liverpool has 10 wins and one draw in their last 11 Premier League matches. They have outscored their opponents 27-4 over that time and have recorded eight clean sheets.
One reason for the Reds’ success is their lack of a true weakness. They can play a high line or park in a defensive position if need be. They excel in counter attacking with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. They can attack quickly or with patient build-up play. Liverpool’s front three are exceptional, and their center backs can start the attack as well.
