Liverpool are sitting in 7th place at the moment and they are already out of the title race but they simply have to win this game in order to gain the upper hand in the top 4 race.
This season is threatening to turn into an utter disappointment for the Reds since Rafa Benitez’s side are struggling in all the competitions entered. They are on the verge of elimination from the Champions League, while the Premiership campaign gives the fans no reason for optimism either. The reality is Liverpool will have to fight for the top 4 place with Manchester City, which makes this match extremely important. Even though City boast some excellent players, they are still far from looking like the team and  Rafa Benitez’s side will eventually clinch the top 4 place.Rafa Benitez has received a welcoming boost since Gerrard, Agger and Johnson have started training and they are expected to be fit for the City game. That will be a big boost for the Reds, even though Torres, Riera and Benayoun are not expected to be back before the derby clash with Everton next weekend. In the absence of Torres, David Ngog is expected to start as a lone striker even though he suffered a broken nose on international duty. The young Frenchman has already proven his goalscoring potential.

City have experienced some problems lately but a win over struggling Liverpool could be just what they need to kick-start their league campaign.They have suffered a big dip in form that saw them draw five consecutive league games and they are now in danger of slipping down the Premiership ladder. The Citizens allowed both Fulham and Burnley to take a point each from the City of Manchester Stadium after conceding in the final stages of the game and that is something Mark Hughes will have to find cure for. The visitors are looking to take advantage of Liverpool’s problems and win the game if possible, thus they are unlikely to discard the attacking approach. With players like Adebayor, Bellamy and Tevez up front.After quite a while, mark Hughes will have full squad to choose from because both Robinho and Onuoha has recovered from their respective injuries, although neither of them is expected to be named in the starting line-up. As we have already said, City are eager to end the five-match winless run and they won’t be afraid to attack out-of-form Liverpool.

By who's reckonong

we are not out of the title race.
we hope City have one of their bad away days. our defence better stay sharp.

and our injury concerns are getting better as Riera ,Benayoun, Aurelio and Johnson will be fit for tomorrow.

[s]I hope Reina keeps a clean sheet, and if possible score a goal[/s] fantasy league dreams

We are not out of the running. . .its going to be difficult. . .but don't rule us out . . .

I predict we win this by 2 goals. . . .

That's an ASSUMPTION my friend.

Let the ball do the talking.

The worst scenario for City today could be another draw - They have shown time and again that they can come back and level up [even against cheating United]

If they play with a RIGHT [WINNING] mentality, they could mar someone's day tonight!

Funny how being 11 points adrift means being out of the title race!! Yossi, Riera and Aurellio are all available (thanks to the lady from Serbia) and so is Carragher.

@Muki, make the most of Arsenal's current luck because saying that Liverpool will battle for 4th place is a bit too premature with only a quarter of the season gone.

Chei!! This game go hard. A "wounded" Liverpool at Anfield isn't what I want to be facing right now. My boys have been unimpressive, if not shambolic, in their last few games so I'm going into this game with very little confidence. Tevez has failed to impress me, our defense is very disorganized, when Ireland isn't playing our midfield has no creativity, and we just seem to not have much chemistry overall. This will be a hard game for us. Hopefully we come out of it with something.

Skrtel almost scored there! Unlucky Liverpool! Babel and Agger injured within 13 minutes!!

They've played 15' without a any goals yet,for all the wahala they've been through in recent past,I wish Liverpool win this one

I wish Pool wins too

Liverpooooool re mouthlesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

hahaha. I had my time conversion wrong. I've been sitting here waiting for a game that already started. chei!!   At least I didn't miss anything

Someone should help remind Ngog he isn't Torres,overallgood 1st half tho'. . . . . . . .
