Manchester City vs Liverpool
This weekend there is two big Premier League games as it is the last weekend before another International break.
The early kick off on Saturday is the clash between Manchester United and Everton. Cristiano Ronaldo has to be on penalties from now on. Everton came to Old Trafford last season and got a draw and Manchester United need to find a way to beat mid tabled teams at home.
Everton have been very impressive this season so far. Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray have been outstanding for Everton this season. Rafa Benitez has been a good appointment for The Toffees and Everton can go places with Rafa in charge. Bar for the defeat at Villa Park Everton have been good away from home this season. If Everton want to finish in European places this year they need to go an get a result at either Old Trafford or Anfield. Everton will try to beat Man United on the break with their quick forward players and with Man United not having much pace at the back this could be very effective for The Toffees.
It will be a tough game for Manchester United but Manchester United will just edge it.
Score prediction Man United 2-1 Everton
The second big match this weekend is the Clash between Liverpool and Manchester City. These two teams have won the Premier League title over the last three seasons. Sometimes the big games are an anti-climax but it would be great if it was a cracking match this weekend.
Liverpool have scored a lot of goals this season with Sadio Mane and Mo Salah breaking records. Liverpool have created a lot of chances in their games so far but they have been very wasteful at times in front of goal this season. Liverpool are a better team with Virgil Van Dijk back in the team but he still looks nervous when going into challenges after what happened last season. It will be interesting to see what Jurgen Klopp’s game plan is this weekend will they go attacking or be more defensive. Liverpool have an outstanding goalkeeper in Allison and he will need to be at his best if Liverpool want to beat Manchester City. It is still early days but outcome of this match will tell a lot were Liverpool are really at.
A lot of people criticised Manchester City’s performance against Southampton but last weekend performance against Chelsea showed that Manchester City are still the team to beat this season. Pep Guardiola has found a way to accommodate both Phil Foden and Jack Grealish in the same team which will give defenders nightmares. Gabriel Jesus deserves a mention because he has stepped up in the last few weeks. It is incredible that Manchester City have only conceded one goal so far this season and one of the reasons that Manchester City are so strong because they don’t concede many goals.
Both teams will score this weekend but Manchester City will just edge it.
