Mark Lawrenson – BBC Sport
“I make Liverpool a bit of a favorite here because they are fresher,” Lawrence told BBC Sport. “City had to travel to Spain in the middle of the week, had an exhausting game against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and had some injuries, while that same night Jurgen Klopp could leave out many of his greats against Benfica. . Because of this, I expect City to make some changes from what is arguably their best team, but for Liverpool to be as strong as they can be – and that changes the tie for me. Prophecy: City 1-2 Liverpool
Paul Merson – Sports
“I have a correct prediction for last week’s Premier League!” Merson told Sportskeeda. “Manchester City played a 2-2 draw with Liverpool this month and I think Liverpool have a slight advantage in this game. “City had a really tough game against Atletico Madrid, to be fair. They had to travel this week, and it was also a very physical game. “Liverpool rested Santo Mane, Mohamed Salah and Fambino in the Champions League and it is almost certain that they will score this weekend.” Prophecy: City 1-2 Liverpool Read more related articles Read more related articles

“I’m looking forward to it,” Owen told BetVictor. “Last week’s game was great, and it should be more of the same. Manchester City get into it at the back of that dramatic match in Madrid. This was far from a simple night, but to leave Madrid with a clear goal will be a huge positive. “As for Liverpool, it was a fun game against Benfica, but in the end it was simple. Klopp even had the luxury of resting a few players. Given how many important games are coming, this is a huge bonus. The move of the first trio caused a lot of problems in City last week and it was taking advantage of City’s high line. “The fact that City had such an intense game on Wednesday is inevitable to play a factor here. They received a few blows and in the game, I put Liverpool as a light favorite “.
