Arsenal's defeat to West Ham in the early match will give Liverpool more motivation when they travel to the Etihad. If they win against Man City, they can extend their lead with the Gunners to 11 points.
The Kop need to regain their spirit after the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa in midweek. Although Man City are not as strong as previous seasons, they are still unlikely to beat them at home.
At the Etihad, Liverpool have not tasteed a victory since 2015 in the Premier League. Coach Pep Guardiola and his team also won all 3 home matches in the English top flight, having a certain confidence when hosting the top team.
After being eliminated from the Champions League, Man City will focus on domestic tournaments, including the task of ensuring a position in the top 4. If they lose to Liverpool tonight, they will still maintain this position, as the teams chasing them all lost in round 26.
Liverpool have kept 10 clean sheets this season but conceded 5 goals in the last 3 matches, as players began to show fatigue with a tight schedule.
Man City still have quality players in the attack to cause problems for Liverpool's defense, especially if Haaland recovers from injury to play.
