Man City vs Liverpool Carabao Cup match preview
This fourth round Carabao Cup match comes at an interesting stage for both teams.
In the Premier League, Man City are still 5 points behind Arsenal so will have eyes on that resumption, whereas Liverpool are 15 points off the lead and will need to get a significant move on.
One imagines both Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola will field younger teams here and the clash will have a little less spice than normal games between the 2 teams.
Still, we have silverware to play for and Liverpool are probably in greater need of form now.
So we think they'll come out firing and salute 2-1, progressing to the quarterfinals in the process.
