 After Xmas l, we have a real pirate for you to enjoy at the Etihad Stadium, Man City h Thee Liverpool (watch live on NBCSN 12:30 ET and online via NBC Sports live extra) with both teams hosting serious title hopes.

Liverpool sit joint top of the Premier League No L, and are just a point above the third city into this massive confrontation in the Northwest. C aside from home must be the favorites in this one, the city has won eight out of eight at the Etihad and smashed home 35 goals in the process. C Tee

Manuel Pellegrini has never been shy of scoring and see this game as the perfect opportunity to be announced as title favorites. It is so recent weeks 6-3 hammering of Arsenal has not already. As Brendan Rodgers(Cheap Soccer Jerseys), from his side have been sublime with a man in mind, as Luis Suarez scored 19 goals in his 12 games this season PL. Remarkable.

If the city wants to win, they will stop Uruguayan superstar Liverpool and ensure they always keep an eye on the other Reds sublime attacking talents. As mentioned, both teams are full of goals and lead the PL scoring with 51 goals and accumulating City Liverpool not far behind with 41.

Victory for citizens could potentially see the first place on Boxing Day, their great team will be tested to its limits during the holiday season. With regard to injury, the city still lacks top scorer Sergio Aguero and defenders Matija Nastasic, Pablo Zabaleta and Micah Richards. Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard

is still out, while John Flanagan is a doubt and could join Daniel Sturridge, Jose Enrique and Sebastian Coates on the bench. 

What they’re saying

Brendan Rodgers on City’s good home form: “We know it’s a tough place to go this year. Manchester City(Manchester City Jersey) haven’t lost at home and we’ve won every game at home bar one, so they obviously have confidence at home like us. They score goals, but they also concede goals so it makes for a really good game. Our focus is on this game and this game only, and we know our possession level is really high at the moment, so we’re looking forward to it.”

James Milner on stopping Suarez: “He is having a pretty good season. He’s a dangerous player. We have come up against dangerous players so far this season but he will definitely be right up there, so we will need to keep him quiet. But Liverpool are a top side having a good season and it’s not just about stopping him, because they have plenty of (Manchester United Jersey)other players who can do damage as well.”

Prediction

Everyone is predicting goals, but I think both sides ultra-attacking emphasis could actually cancel each other out. This will be a nervy game, as City don’t want to lose their incredible home record and Liverpool have struggled on the road a little. But if that man Suarez scores a few early, expect a rampant City to come roaring back with all guns blazing. I’m sitting on the fence and going for a draw.
