injury news 

Jose Enrique is sidelined for the rest of the season with a knee injury but the Reds are boosted by the return of Vice-captain Daniel Agger, who missed last week's win over West Ham with a knee injury. That could give Brendan Rodgers a selection dilemma as Mamadou Sakho put in a very good performance last week and it would be seen as harsh to drop him.

For City, they are likely to welcome back Sergio Aguero into the side after a hamstring problem - which the club have been cautious with so he's available for this clash. Yaya Toure picked up a knock against Southampton but he should have no problem being fit for this encounter. Matija Nastasic is still struggling with a knee problem and is likely to miss out.

Run of Play

Manchester City, are likely will rely on their speedy wingers to expose the inexperience of Young left back John Flanagan ,or try expose the space  behind  Glen Johnson ,as he has the tendency to race up the field . With players like Alvaro Negredo Edin Dzeko, and Vincent Kompany they will use Liverpool Arial, and Set piece vulnerability to their advantage.

Liverpool has managed to suffocate team from the ball, by keeping it and passing it around. They have managed a record high of 74% ball possession in a number of matches this season, especially in Anfield. The key to Liverpool’s success in this match will be the synergy between Luis Suarez, and Daniel Sturridge. Suarez will surely cause man city’s Martín Gastón Demichelis a lot of headache, with his diagonal runs and cheeky nutmegs (putting ball through the legs).  The intelligence of Daniel Sturridge in man city’s 18 yard box will surely play a vital role and lead to a goal or two for Liverpool.

Liverpool: 3                 Man city: 1
