After seeing Manchester United win and solidify their top four spot, Liverpool know they cannot afford to lose ground on their rivals.
After such an impressive run of form recently, the Reds have no one to fear but themselves if they lose focus – and City are in just as bigger quandary, knowing this is their chance to close the gap on Chelsea.
Both sides will have to go all out to win with a draw failing to suit either of them – but Liverpool arguably need the win the most given they are also on home turf.
