Paul Merson and Chris Sutton have different opinions on how Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City will pan out. The Reds will host City at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday as they continue their quest for Champions League qualification.

Arne Slot’s side are in sixth place in the Premier League table and go into the game against City having beaten Newcastle United in their previous fixture, and have scored 10 goals across their last two matches.

Liverpool find themselves two points behind fourth-placed Manchester United in the table, and that gap could be extended by the time kick-off arrives, with their rivals facing Tottenham Hotspur in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off.

The Reds take on a City team that were held to a draw with Tottenham in their previous fixture and were recently beaten by Man United in the Manchester derby.
