Manchester City Vs Liverpool: Preview, Head To head, Lineups, TV Info, Date and time Featured Liverpool Manchester City Crystal Palace vs West Ham : Preview, Head to Head, Date and Time, Lineups, TV Info and Livestream ← Previous Story Manchester City will play Liverpool in the next fixture in the Premier League campaign at The Etihad Stadium this weekend. Premier League: Manchester City Vs Liverpool Date: 25th August Time: 19:00 GMT Venue: Etihad Stadium Manchester City are scheduled to meet Liverpool in the second match of the new Premier League campaign. The match to be played at the Etihad Stadium was one of the key games in the previous season and will have its mark at the final matches of this season too. Manchester City registered a quite easy win against Newcastle United in the last game that they played to kick start the fresh season of the Premier League. Manchester City were a goal up at the half time following a beautiful buildup of Dzeko and David silva. Finally, Aguero came off the bench to double the lead at the the second half. Liverpool, on the other hand, had a tough time playing against the saints. Liverpool made a narrow win off the saints as they beat them with a scoreline of 2-1. Sterling opened the score for Liverpool and the travelling side then equalized by a goal from Clyne in the second half. Finally, the goal scored by Sturridge, who was quite a hidden man in the pitch all the game, meant a win for the Reds. Manchester City had a very tough travels the previous season as they lost most of their points away. Manchester City lost to Sunderland, Cardiff and even with Norwich when they traveled. The win in the first game in an away fixture will be a positive start for Pellegrini’s men. Brenden Rodgers will have a challenge coming in the early fixture at the home of the Manchester giants as they look forward to take a revenge of a very narrow win Man City edged in the fixture last season at Etihad. Liverpool also lost the race against the Manchester giants last season falling sort only be a couple of points. Liverpool will have a lot to prove coming into this game and a win here would mean a very crucial 3 points that could be the difference at the end of the season. Manchester City has the only concern of injury over the defensive department as Zabaleta and Sagna do not seem totally fit coming into the game. The only positive thing Pellegrini has that can solve the problem is the position being filled by Clichy and playing Kolarov at the left back position. Aguero seems to slowly catch the rhythm in the game and Jovetic and Dzeko look very comfortable up front. This will be a good sign for the home side. Liverpool has lost their star Suarez but the likes of Sterling and Sturridge in the team is never an easy way out for the opponents. Liverpool will come into this fixture with a very fit squad filled with very talented youngsters. Coutinho and Stirling are the best young players in the league and are looking very great from the first game. The addition of Lambert in the team with a depth in the midfield will ensure a veru strong performance in the game. Liverpool will miss Agger, Ilori, O. Assaidi, J. Flanagan and A. Lallana in the match against the defending champions. The only sure absentee for Manchester City will be Negredo who will miss a lot more fixtures with the broken metatarsals. Both the teams will be going for a victory in the game but a draw will also be satisfying for the managers. Manchester City Vs Liverpool: Head To Head These two teams have met 151 times and manchester City has won the fixtures 40 times. 40 games ended in a draw and 71 matches went in favour of liverpool. Manchester City Vs Liverpool: Starting Lineups Manchester City: Hart, Kompany, Demicheles, Kolarov, Clichy, Silva, Toure, Fernando, Nasri, Jovetic, Dzeko. Liverpool: Mignolet; Johnson, Lovren, Skrtel, Manquillo; Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson; Sterling, Sturridge, Coutinho Manchester City Vs Liverpool: TV details The match between Manchester City and Liverpool will be available at City TV and Liverpool TV. The match is also available at Skysports and at Starsports in the South Asian region. |

Manchester City v Liverpool Monday, Aug 25, 2014 Etihad Stadium Kick-off : 8pm TV: Sky Sports 1 Starting XIs Manchester City (Possible, 4-4-2): Hart; Kolarov, Demichelis, Kompany, Clichy; Nasri, Fernando, Toure, Silva; Aguero, Dzeko. Out: Negredo (metatarsal). Liverpool (Possible, 4-2-3-1): Mignolet; Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Manquillo; Gerrard, Allen; Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling; Sturridge. Out: Agger, Flanagan, Lallana, Ossaidi (all knee), Test: Enrique (knee). Referee: Michael Oliver. Matches: 1, R0 Y3. Betting: Home 17-20, Away 3-1, Draw 13-5. Team News Summer signings Lazar Markovic and Alberto Moreno are in contention to make debuts in Liverpool's Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Monday. Fit-again winger Markovic and defender Moreno, recruited last week from Sevilla, are both set to be included in the squad for the match but fellow summer arrival Adam Lallana's wait to make his bow definitely goes on, with the midfielder not quite ready yet as his rehabilitation from a knee injury nears its conclusion. Jose Enrique's condition will be assessed, while Daniel Agger, Jon Flanagan and Oussama Assaidi remain sidelined. Match Notes Sorry to disappoint, but Mario Balotelli won’t be playing. Moving on, the main title protagonists from last season meet far too early in this one, neither likely to be at full throttle. City look in good shape to defend their crown, Liverpool were rusty and edgy against Southampton in their opening day victory. While the cameras try to locate Balotelli, Liverpool supporters will be assessing Dejan Lovren. This is the type of fixture where he must add solidity and organisation. Stat of the game: 2 - Manchester City have scored exactly two goals in each of their last four Premier League games against Liverpool. Chris Bascombe's prediction : 1-1 |

How to solve a problem like Manchester City? Liverpool take on Manchester City this Monday, in what promises to be the biggest fixture of the opening two weeks of Premier League football TOM DOWAN A look at where Liverpool vs. Manchester City will be won and lost This week's Monday Night Football places last seasons league champions against the eventual runners up, so how do LFC beat the mega-rich Manchester City? There is of course no formula for beating any team, football is played on an unpredictable pitch and not on paper. Liverpool vs Manchester City will however provide a series of mini battles that will be key to victory, games within a game if you will - but what are these fundamental components to putting together a victory against the sky blues this Monday evening? The diamond If there was one thing to be taken from the opening day of the season, it was that a Gerrard-Lucas pivot does not work and likely never will. A lack of legs and defensive know-how in midfield saw Jose Fonte (of all people) gallop through the LFC midfield, while James Ward-Prowse looked like Messi for an afternoon. The lack of Liverpool midfield went relatively unpunished against the Saints; this certainly will not be the case against the likes of Yaya Toure, Fernando & Fernandinho - a formidable midfield set up. In order to combat the presence that City will undoubtedly bring, Rodgers may choose to revert to a diamond and thus increase midfield presence. With the Balotelli deal not yet complete, LFC would likely pair Raheem Sterling with Daniel Sturridge as the striking duo and therefore a midfield of Coutinho, Henderson, Can or Allen & Gerrard could be played - physicality and energy to counteract the driving force that is Manchester City's midfield. The diamond certainly seems the way to go in order to maintain some control of the tempo and protect the back-four on Monday night. Fullbacks While the diamond will bring some more control to the side, it'll also restrict the offensive width of the team; this is where fullbacks become critical. Reds fans will be hoping that Alberto Moreno makes his Liverpool debut after the paperwork was not completed in time to face Southampton & that Javier Manquillo continues his impressive start to life at Liverpool FC - of course these two starting is based on the assumption that Glen Johnson will be dropped, however that is an assumption made by many. The young Spaniards are both, undoubtedly, the best option for the club and could prove to be fundamental to any potential success this season - against City on Monday night their influence will be pivotal. Moreno and Manquillo will have to compensate for the lack of width that a diamond causes. Overlapping the attack, thus dragging opposition defenders out of position and therefore creating space for the attackers will be key to build up play and transition. Both fullbacks will also have to bring a 'physical output' to the table by delivering that final ball once they've got themselves into the aforementioned position and competent passing in order to contribute to the neat and tidy build up play that Rodgers craves. Moreno and Manquillo will also constantly have to make themselves available for the Gerrard cross-field diagonal ball that is so often used to stretch opposition and subsequently catch them on the break - there's a lot for both to do! Defensively, fullbacks will also be key to success vs the Manchester sky blues. With the abundance of creativity that City posses, the likes of David Silva and Nasri will need to be stifled. Blocking the pinpoint accurate crosses we will no doubt witness from City's creative outlets will be necessary to protecting the central defensive pairing and hopefully restricting the City striking duo. Physicality will also be needed, the City magicians will want to cut inside and contribute to the shot tally - this needs to be stopped. The Liverpool fullbacks will have a lot of work to get through against City, their input and output could sway the result. No fear You can't 'think' how to beat a team, and Liverpool certainly shouldn't attempt to do so! Attacking fluidity and a no fear attitude became synonymous with Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool last season and that should not be lost regardless of who the opponent is. Liverpool will certainly have to deal with City, but City will have to deal with Liverpool and that is noon get an easy task. Markovic should play some part and that will add depth and further flexibility to the current free flowing crop - if the midfield allow the attack to be fluid, we are in for an exciting contest. Coutinho will have to be magic in his creativity, Sterling fearless in his running and Sturridge clinical - this is a concoction we have witnessed in full flow, it will have to be potent once again. It must be remembered that this is not a season definer but only the second fixture of the term; however, it would be naive to think that the psychological aspect of last seasons runners up vs. last seasons champions is not significant. Let the games begin! 1 Like |
