I'd take a draw if rodri, ederson and haaland are injured for 6 months. Other wise we need to win the game by 5 goals min. thats the only two things i'm willing to accept

Good for us. their game was indeed a dead rubber so quite sensible to have their players ready for March and just dump that France game. pity trent hadn't the fucning sense. playing a meaningless game that no other England player gave a crap about and he will be now tired. at least walker alos played that **** show.
Liverpool’s squad regrouped following the conclusion of the international break at the AXA Training Centre on Thursday. Having missed the Reds’ victory over Brentford last time out, Joe Gomez, Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and Ibrahima Konate were among the players taking part in the session. They were joined by the South American contingent who have been on duty with their respective nations, with Alisson Becker, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Alexis Mac Allister also participating. Stay tuned to Liverpoolfc.com for footage and photos of the workout, plus other behind-the-scenes-content, throughout the day. Liverpool squad update following international break - Liverpool FC
I'd take a point, difficult fixture and we're improving but not there yet. If we get more great and if we get less it's no big deal.
CHRIS SUTTON HAS GONE FOR NARROW HOME WIN. Man City v Liverpool (12:30) I think these teams will finish the season in the top two. Every time they meet, it makes for such an intriguing game. Liverpool carry such a threat through Mohamed Salah, and Darwin Nunez has been on fire for Uruguay this week - scoring three goals in total against Argentina and Bolivia. Nunez does miss a few too, we know that, but he will be a handful, and the pace that Liverpool have on the counter-attack means they are very capable of rattling Manchester City the same way Chelsea did before the international break. City won't change their approach though, because they don't take a backward step against anyone. I'd expect them to dominate possession, and of course they will play on the front foot even though they know Liverpool can hurt them on the break. Home advantage will definitely help, though. Pep Guardiola's side have won all 23 of their games at Etihad Stadium so far this year and their draw with Everton on 31 December 2022 was the last time they failed to win there, in any competition. That's the main reason why I am going for them to just about edge this one and find a way to win but, whether Haaland plays or not, it is going to be extremely close. Sutton's prediction: 2-1 Barry Can't Swim's prediction: It is really tough to make a call without knowing about Haaland. I might just go with a draw, because City haven't quite clicked yet this season. 1-1 JONES KNOWS BEST HAS GONE FOR 3 1 HOME WIN Manchester City vs Liverpool, Saturday 12.30pm, live on Sky Sports Liverpool and the 12.30pm kick-off is an angle punters can exploit. There is substance there. Many readers of Liverpool persuasion will shoot this down based on back-to-back victories over Wolves and Everton this season in that particular timeslot but I'm yet to be convinced. Jurgen Klopp's side broke a six-game winless run in 12.30pm starts when beating Wolves 3-1 but it was an alarming first-half showing that continued a worrying trend for Klopp's men. A failure to score in that first half, or in the eventual 2-0 win over Everton, means Liverpool have failed to score in seven of their last eight first halves in the 12.30pm timeslot. That's more than enough evidence to declare them as slow starters in this type of environment and the last place you want to go if sleepy football is in your blood is away to Manchester City. I like the 6/4 with Sky Bet for them to be winning and half-time and full-time. Equally, I'm also drawn to Bernardo Silva in the prop markets. In a game where Man City are expecting to find fertile ground in behind the Liverpool full-backs, his 9/2 anytime scorer price does stand out if, as expected, Guardiola does select him in that right-side forward role. His two goals against Bournemouth earlier this month when playing that wide right role took him to five goals scored in his last three matches at the Etihad Stadium when playing in that front three, following up a double in the 4-0 win over Madrid and another effort in the 3-0 dismantling of Bayern last season.

6-0 or city are ****. i'd take a 3-0 loss if haaland has ankle ligament damage and rodri a shattered acl.
Pep Guardiola on whether he’d leave Man City if they are found guilty of their 115 charges and relegated... “I will not consider my future if we are in League One, I will be more likely to stay.” ... Yeah right, he'll be off before the gavel starts to descend!
Didn't he say in the past that if they were found guilty of wrongdoing, he wouldn't want anything to do with them?
he said something very different first. hea been caught out by a journo just asking a leading question without referring to his prior comments.
