CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PREVIEW, LIVERPOOL VS MANCHESTER CITY
Liverpool and Manchester city go head to head in Anfield in a highly anticipated quarter final encounter. Make no mistakes this promises to be a mouth watering and tasty tie, because we re talking about two of the most exciting teams in European football. Premier league fans were not happy when two English teams were drawn together at this stage, but on the other hand we re certain that either of them will be in the semi finals. Man city is by far the favorite to win the match, and everybody knows that. The biggest problem Man city have here is their horrible record in Anfield - they have failed to win in Anfield for 15 years now. As a matter of fact, Man city have only won there once in 38 years. In a season where they blow away every team easily, they still faltered in Anfield, when Liverpool became the only team to defeat them and break their unbeaten run in premier league. The match ended 4-3 in favour of Liverpool, but man city were actually flattered with the scoreline, because they were thoroughly outplayed. The match in Anfield will be a thriller because we're talking about two coaches who are more concerned with aesthetics rather than result. Expect Liverpool to press the hell out of city, also expect breathtaking counter attacks. Easily, Liverpool is the best counter attacking team in England, this is their strength- Man city possession pattern of football will play perfectly into their hands.
Injuries and doubts: Joel Matip, Adam Lallana, Joe Gomez and Emre Can are all out with injuries for the home side. As for Man City, Mendy, Aguero are injured while John Stones, Laprote and Fabian Delph are doubts.
Star man: Man of the moment- Mohammed Salah. Currently the highest goal scorer in the whole of Europe, he's outscored even the likes of Messi and Ronaldo. It's actually very difficult to stop Salah. Great players can decide games on their own. Salah has the ability to singlehandedly decide this match! For Manchester City, easily it is Kevin De Brunne. If Salah is the best player in England, then De Brunne, is the finest, we re all privileged to have watched him. He has the ability rip Liverpool defence apart with breakthrough passes, so the key is -prevent him from having the ball as much as possible.
