Liverpool’s dynamic offense will be facing a City defense that has given up one goal in each of their last two matches and had five clean sheets in their previous five matches.

The City defense has a tall task facing Luis Suárez and Daniel Sturridge, who have combined for 49 goals this league season and are the top two scorers in the EPL.

Liverpool is coming off a 2-1 road win against West Ham where they got both of their goals off penalties from Steven Gerrard.

While Liverpool has scored the most goals in the league their defense has given up 11 more goals than Man City this season.

Last season at home Liverpool played to a 2-2 draw against City.

City’s Yaya Touré ranks third in the EPL in goals this season and he has five goals in his last four matches including a hat trick facing Fulham on March 22.

In the loss to City on the road in late December the Reds kept the time of possession battle close, but allowed eight more shots in the match.

City is the Premier League betting underdog in this match, but still have the best betting odds to win the league at +138 and Liverpool at +188.
