Big match in the top 4, Liverpool have a pretty great record against the top 6 sides this season as things turn out, City are in decent form. 4:30 KO.
2 - 2.

Preamble by Simon Brunton :
Well, this is exciting. Manchester City go into this game on the back of a demoralising defeat to Monaco in the Champions League, and 13 points behind Chelsea in the English top flight. And their manager is talking in the manner of someone who is more likely to be a disciple of Egil Olsen than Johann Cruyff:
"I never came here and said we are going to win one title. I never said I am going to win the treble, I never said I was going to win the double. I never said it. I never said it on my first day in Barcelona. I promise a lot of work. Few guys can beat me in that. I work a lot. I am so proud of that. I never promise titles, never in my life. Never. Just work.
"
That sound you’re hearing is Sheikh Mansour sprinting back to Pep Guardiola’s contract to check the small print.
Anyway, back on New Year’s Eve Georgio Wijnaldum scored the only goal in a 1-0 win for Liverpool at Anfield. And Ragnar Klavan, who kept Sergio Agüero quiet that day, reckons he can do the trick again, even if the Argentinian net-buster has scored six goals in his last six games. “I think fearful is not the right word,” he said. “He’s a world-class striker but a lot of teams in the Premier League have world-class strikers. There is always a lot of respect for the strikers I play against but fear is not the word.”
It’s a big game. There have been lots of words. Now, it’s time for action. Or, more specifically, in another hour and after a load more words, it will be time for action.

Good result for United and with City and Arsenal playing next as well as Liverpool/Everton, there chances of fourth continue to improve.

1-1, doesn't really help either team to be honest, but keeps them in the race for 4th

Fair result on performance, a few sitters missed by both sides there.

Fair result on performance, a few sitters missed by both sides there. Especially Liverpool, Lallana must be kicking himself with that missed effort, if he can make contact that is. |

Horrible. Felt like a defeat. Lallana missing that chance too but then again we might a got nothin if Aguero had put away his late chance.
