Team News
Vincent Kompany, Micah Richards and Maicon are definitely out for City. Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure and Abdul Razak are all away on international duty. Martin Kelly and John Flanagan are out for Liverpool.
Analysis
City and Liverpool tend to serve up a feast whenever they take on each other these days. City however looked rather lackluster against QPR last week. Brendan Rodgers meanwhile tactically set his team up perfectly against Arsenal. Arsenal had to rise to the occasion to prevent Liverpool from winning. A Liverpool side which usually dominates possession played on the counter attack in London. City is the side chasing the title; if they continue giving points away, United will easily cross the finish line much before Match day 38.
