Live Analysis Manchester City vs Liverpool! – By Joe Prince-Wright at Etihad

HALFTIME: Manchester City 2-1 Liverpool – What a stunning first half. City took the lead through De Bruyne, then Jota equalized after a classy move. However, City were much better as the half progressed and Gabriel Jesus deservedly put them ahead. Wow. Sometimes the big games don’t deliver, but this one does. Big time. We still get 45 minutes of that!? Time to refresh your popcorn folks…

Aymeric Laporte with one of the best tackles you’ll ever see to deny Diogo Jota. How did he do that!? It all came from a moment of hesitation from Rodri as Liverpool remain dangerous at the break.

What a game. You can’t take your eyes off it. You just can’t. Every time I look down to put that in the press box, I have to look back up. It’s mayhem.

TORL! What a ball from Joao Cancelo and Jesus stays on the side to knock home on the back post. 2: 1 for Manchester City! You deserve that head start. They were excellent. Especially Cancelo.

CONCLUDE! Joao Cancelo smashes a low shot that notches and hits the outside of the post. City get a lot of joy playing more directly behind Alexander-Arnold and Robertson.

FAR! Joao Cancelo played over the top and found Kevin de Bruyne excellently, but his shot grazed the outside of the post.

City is cranking through the gears here while a ball is whipped around, but John Stones can’t get to the end. Liverpool look a real threat at the break.

Ederson, with no real pressure, almost goes the ball into his own net. Jota was so close to deflecting it. Huge sighs of relief here from the home fans.

TORL! 1-1! Jota ends the game after a lovely cross from Robertson is brilliantly repelled by Alexander-Arnold. What a start. This huge game delivers early!

TORL! 1:0! Manchester City! Kevin de Bruyne’s shot was deflected badly by Joel Matip and went wide of the far post. city ​​are common. What a start to this game.

TO SAVE! Alisson does a great job of saving Raheem Sterling, who was clean and six yards out, but the Liverpool goalkeeper stood tall to save him.

Gabriel Jesus started on the right, Raheem Sterling through the middle and Phil Foden is on the left. Fascinating. Sterling appears to be focused on Joel Matip.

KICK OFF: We are in an absolutely massive game.

Will Raheem Sterling be the difference? Our crew dismantles it.

A fantastic TV crew is here for this big game, and so is Danny Cardenas. He flew in overnight from Washington DC and is on fire.

City are out early to warm up. Applause from the home fans. Tension is in the air.

Squad news is quite interesting here…Liverpool go on top with Jota, Mane and Salah. That was her best front three all season. Man City move to the top with Raheem Sterling, Foden and De Bruyne. Grealish and Mahrez are on the bench.

Welcome to Etihad Stadium! Great atmosphere building.

Manchester City team news, injuries, line-up

Ruben Dias stays out so John Stones and Aymeric Laporte start in central defence. Pep Guardiola starts Gabriel Jesus, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling in attack.

Liverpool team news, injuries, line-up

Klopp has absolutely no injury problems and was able to rotate his side in midweek’s UEFA Champions League win at Benfica. Jordan Henderson and Joel Matip return to the starting lineup while Jota, Mane and Salah start in attack.

PREVIEW

Manchester City top the Premier League table but are just a point clear of Liverpool with eight games to go. Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions appeared to be walking away with the title this season but they have stumbled a little in recent weeks and Liverpool’s sensational form has primed this potential title decider. The big question for Guardiola is how much Ruben Dias’ absence will affect his side in this clash and who will he actually pick to start and attack in midfield? He’s full of options in those areas and only Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden seem like guaranteed starters at the moment. Now it’s time for Pep Guardiola to prove once again how good he is.

As for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool, they absolutely fly. They meet Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley next weekend and could also meet City in the UEFA Champions League final and Klopp is enjoying those challenges against Pep. The truth is there is a lot of respect between these two coaches and their teams are so different in their style of play, but both are brilliant. Liverpool have won 10 Premier League games en route to this clash and they’ve been carving out victories in recent weeks to drag themselves back into the title talk. Can Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane deliver one of their epic performances? They need to do it if Liverpool want to go beyond City and seize the initiative in the title race before the final month or so of the season.
